Plastic Bags Are A Threat!

Plastic Bags

Claim – States the main   point or stance	Yes	The author has written to me about plastic bags about who and what’s happening around the world. His persuasion techniques begin with stating that: ‘Plastics bags destroy the environment, and we can help by picking up rubbish on the ground’.
Big Names –  Mentions experts and important people to support the argument	No
Logos – Uses logic, numbers, or   facts to support the argument	Yes	While the writer states that plastic bags are   “harmful to the environment and wildlife,” he also includes facts that show examples of that harm including. In the text it shows that plastic bags do not rot or disintegrate and create pollution to the air and the sea. This would affect the land and the animals that feed on.
Pathos – Appeals to the audience’s emotions	Yes	In the writing it said that “Cleaners pick up more than 6 billion bags a year so that cleaners would have to work for a long time just to clear the city or streets. That would affect families because they won’t have enough time together.
Ethos – Tries to build trust and credibility	Yes	The author uses the fact that he/she has written about experts in Australia needing to clean up to six billion plastic bags are year.  He does this to let the reader know about his/her credibity.
Kairos – Builds a sense of urgency   for the cause	Yes	If workers in stores keep giving people plastic bags the population of plastic bags will rise and the pollution of the air, water and land will get worst. This will affect the environment and wildlife.
Research – Uses studies and   information to make the   argument seem more convincing;   this can be in the form of words, graphs, tables, or illustrations	NO	The writer has his/her opinion but now backup research.
