1,325 words (approx. 5.3 pages) | 0 sources | 2006 United States


Paper Summary:

Henry David Thoreau's "Appeal to Civil Disobedience" has an interesting rhetorical appeal which he uses throughout the essay to achieve a link between himself and his reader core. This paper explains that by using the logic of the times to help his efforts, and by using the three rhetorical appeals - ethos, pathos, and logos - a longing for civil disobedience systematically ruled Thoreau's thought process in a time of racial and ethical tension.

From the Paper:

"In reference to his ethos, throughout the essay Thoreau establishes his credibility with his persona and tone. Referencing pathos, Thoreau substantiates his written word through interaction with the audience on an emotional level. Finally, in referencing logos, Thoreau has truly perfected the art of logical appeals, by dropping poetic reference in key passages of the essay throughout, and, of course, by using only his, and no one else's thoughts, as a reference to such highly controversial topics as abolition and slavery."
