SAW chapter 4

An Argument Synthesis is to persuade the reader about a certain claim to be true or not. There are three main parts of an argument synthesis: claim, support, and assumption. There are also three appeals of an A.S. : logos, ethos, pathos.
Logos- provide logical evidence to proove an idea
Ethos- relies on the credability of a person making the argument
Pathos- appeals to the emotions of the readers
