1. A writer is an artist, some one that can make a reader feel whatever emotion they want. Someone that can use their words to build whatever idea they have using words. A writer can be a person who documents their opinion, thoughts, or factual ideas like an editorial, novel, or autobiography. A writer is not a certain gender or race. A writer is a person that can make images to the reader. Also someone that makes a reader interested in what they are writing about. There are many types of writing so there is not one mold for a writer. A writer can be a variety of people. -Fabian Tarazon

The article The Debate That Never Rests has several examples of ethos. In this article author Pamela Paul covers the controversy surrounding babies’ sleep. She talks about all the different methods people use to get their babies to sleep. While talking about this she using situated ethos in that she quotes bestselling authors who are obviously are credible. One author she quotes is Dr. Richard Ferber who is the author of the best-selling book solve your child’s sleep problems, Dr Ferber apparently knows a lot on this topic so the author is using his good reputation. Pamela Paul also uses invented ethos because I feel she is trying to appeal to a mass audience by making a parent character to relate to all parents like when she says, “could it be that the parenting gurus have cut us some slack”. -Fabian Tarazon
