Hi Class! I hope everyone is having or had a wonderful valentines day today! Now i get to tell you why my argument is compelling, which won't really make your valentine days any better, sorry. One reason it is compelling is because it is an interesting topic. The idea of stay at home dads is interesting because it is all the opposite of what we are used to, and have been used to, forever in our culture and society. I think using lots of evidence, facts, and statistics should make my argument for a rise in stay at home dads a convincing topic. I also plan on writing it well. If I succeed in doing these things it should make ethos a compelling tool that the readers use while reading my common place paper. Also I hope the facts and statistics, along with real life scenarios and people's own personal experiences make people come to use logos while reading my article. However, I don not really think there will be much use of pathos in this article though because I am not sure I believe anything relating to this argument really appeals to peoples emotions. This topic might, on the other hand, appeal to men's emotions in a way that they might feel like they are less confident and feel powerless if the women made the money for the family, and they were just there to take care of the children and clean. This is why my argument for my common place paper is compelling.
