Faith in america Review

Pathos: Mitt Romney did not use Ethos very effectively in his speech. He did talk about things that would cause emotion in groups of Americans. He got the emotion of the defenders of this nation by mentioning those who want to destroy it. He sought those who love America by quoting the founders. He tried, but his talk ended up sounding just like another talk from a politician vying for more supporters, not sincere or from the heart.
Ethos: Mitt Romney Used ethos a lot better. By quoting the Founders of this nation, he got their support on this topic. Their words are highly respected and Mitt Romney showed well how they sought freedom of religion, not the destruction of it. He added to his own credibility by talking about his family and the things they had done, like March with martin Luther king, and give aid to the needy. He effectively fought for our trust.
Logos: I found the Logos of the paper to be mediocre. He did point out how the founders didn't want leaders to be tested about their religion, and people seeking the candidate’s belief are doing that exact thing. He also points out how many religions have common values running through them that help the nation and people in general. He finally points out how those seeking to remove god from the state are seeking to enforce secularism. He had some solid points, just not quite enough.
