I personally found this article extremely informative. I took COM 114 last year, however we never went over these terms in class. Now that I know what all three mean, I feel as though they are very important aspects of speaking. I think it would be very helpful integrate any of these patterns into a speech. I found it especially interesting because it breaks down the audience’s position while you are speaking to them. Often, when I write a speech, the audience is the last thing on my mind. I concentrate way more on the content and the visuals that are in my speech. This may be because I have never had to give a speech that wasn't for a grade, but I am sure the day will come when I am going to have to present something to a group of people. When this day comes, I will most certainly have to bust out my "Speaking Ethos, Logos, and Pathos" article and determine what the most effective way of presenting my material will be. Actually, I will hopefully be able to integrate the material I learned from this article into my future classes. I am sure that having an attentive audience while presenting a PowerPoint will definitely make speaking in front of a class a lot easier for me. Plus, I need to be aware of the Golden Rule: Do to one what you would like to have done to you. I personally would much rather sit in class and listen to a well presented, exciting speech, rather than a lame and boring one.
