Compare and contrast how Carson and LD support their arguments. Include details about the appeals and structures of the two texts in your response.


First, identify the appeal they are using to support their view.


Ethos, Pathos, or Logos.

Ethos: speaker's status.

Pathos: reader's emotions.

Logos: logical reasoning.


Then find text evidence that supports one of the three appeals.
Example: "The spread of artificial lighting means most of us no longer experience truly dark nights. That, according to researchers, can negatively affect human health, increasing risks for obesity, depression, sleep disorders, diabetes, breast cancer, and more" (LD, 13). LD uses logos (logical reasoning) to help support her argument that we should reduce artificial light use during nighttime.

I hope this helps!<3
