Appeal of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos

Ethos:
Ethos is character.   An example of a person who would appeal to ethos would be a police officer talking about laws, and how they should be followed.
Logos:
Logos is reason. An example of a person who would appeal to logos is any politician running for public office.  
Pathos:
Pathos is emotion. An example of a person who would appeal to Pathos would be a person speaking for people's rights. A perfect example of this would be MLK because his speeches appealed to people's emotions.
