Using Ethos, Pathos and Logos to analyse text

No More Homework!

Homework Should Be Banned In School
Claim – States the main  
point or stance
Yes
The author has stated their view informing the audience about what they believe and what they are going to try and influence me about. The main point being: Homework for little kids should be banned!’
Big Names –  Mentions experts and
important people to support the argument
No

Logos – Uses logic, numbers, or  
facts to support the argument
Yes
The author wrote “Homework is dreadfully unhealthy” because kids will have to do homework instead of taking a break.
Pathos – Appeals to the audience’s emotions
Yes
In the text it shows that “Thinking of homework causes stress for kids and for parents”, and if kids ask for help from their parents, they might be tired was well. Also their minds will not have much knowledge to answer correctly.                                          
Ethos – Tries to build trust and
credibility
Yes
The author said that “Teachers will not get enough rest because they will think about printing homework, handing them out and other things to take care of”. So that means teachers will have to handle too much things and come home late.
Kairos – Builds a sense of urgency  
for the cause
Yes
The text says “Kids get to much work in school and they get more after”. That means that kids might now do homework because their very tired from all the hard work in school.
Research – Uses studies and  
information to make the  
argument seem more convincing;  
this can be in the form of words,
graphs, tables, or illustrations
Yes
The writer wrote how it feels, how hard it is, to the school about homework.
