 * 1) A Writer is person who writes or documents anything. Anyone who writes words on paper or types words is considered a writer. A writer can be at any age. They can be 5 or 90 doesn’t matter. You don’t have to write novels or be great at grammar to write. Writing comes freely, or forced, if you’re in school. Essays or research papers are considered writing, so you’re a writer if you do them. A writer is someone who can put his or her ideas, thoughts, or even life story on paper. A writer is anyone who has ever had and idea, a plan, a story and has put that idea on paper for others to see, or to store away to look back on.

2. In the article “The Debate That Never Rests”, Pamela Paul uses both types of ethos. Pamela uses invented ethos when she talks about her daughter and how she sleeps a full twelve hours at a time. “Since the age of three months, our little Beatrice has slept from 7 to 7.” Pamela writes this because she wants her audience to see that her program really does work, she has proof, her daughter. She uses her real life experience to show how well her program is, and how it has a lasting effect. Pamela also uses situated ethos by mentioning some credible authors like, Dr. Sears. Dr. Sears, another best selling pediatrician. Mentioning Dr. Sears in her article gives it more credibility, he is a pediatrician, and has had many best selling books. This also makes her article credible because Dr. Sears is also on the same page as her. -Terra Smith
