The Argument

In English class earlier this week, I introduced persuasive writing to my students. On the board I wrote

Logos
Pathos
Ethos


and I said, "These are the three types of arguments. Can anyone guess what the words mean?"

Lui, one of my delights in this class, called out, "Dirty, nasty, and ugly!"

"What?" I asked as the students and I looked at him.

He grinned and replied, "That's the kind of arguments I do!"
