Now let’s take those thoughts and organize them into three different points of a triangle. Label those three points ethos, pathos, and logos. It doesn’t really matter which term goes where on the triangle, as long as they are all present and that the triangle has three equal sides, since each point of the rhetorical triangle is equally important. Now, despite the importance of ethos, pathos, and logos, which one you choose to write with will be more prominent depending on the type of essay you’re writing. This is a good place to define those points, so let’s move on.
