As the prompt stated, this is an open-ended question that will help with the argument I want to make in my essay. Because I am a visual person I am going to put the definition of the three types of arguments on my blog, then use them as reference points as my writing progresses.
Ethos: the "self image" a writer creates to define a relationship with readers.
(here, in my writing, I would consider Ethos to mean: the image projected by the space itself.)
Pathos: The emotions that this place gives another person and that gives people their perception.
Logos: the evidence to make a logical appeal
Ethos:
This could be the prefect place to argue about the social views this space takes on (weather negative or positive). I could explain how a place where people come to reach a goal is a bonding, uplifting experience. I could also argue that if the goal IS to fight the other person the image perceived may be negative.
Pathos:
This could be the section where I mirror the fact that the gym is so much diffrent at night that at day, with the similarity that first timers have nerves, fear, adrenaline(not because they are about to get hurt, but because they donot fully understand what is done in a gym like this), whereas the long time fighters have an interest, learning, comfort, compassion. All of these things feed into the overall ENERGY of the gym the "fighter's spirit" as some call it. And can completely be felt when you compare the way the gym feels before and after a work out, or at different times of the day. MUST PROVE WHY!! good place to use what you know, but explain and keep asking further questions!
Logsos:
This section could be used to strengthen each of the "fact" that are made in the paper. An example could be this place is for grown men. Why? because there are large boxing gloves hanging from a cabinet. Use signs, and colors, and whatever you see hear fell etc. then back those items up with in depth explanation.
I think the gym is a great idea, and something you really enjoy. However, when you were listing your reasons you didn't mention what your space was until quite a ways down, leaving it a little ambiguous. Otherwise, your reasons a great for choosing this particular space.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other comment, I wasn't quite sure what the space was until I went back and looked at your previous blog. An MMA gym is a cool idea though, I like how you showed the emotional side to it. If I were going to the gym, it would probably have uplifting effect on me too.
