1. Access statistics about the BYU meal plans and find the average amount of money that goes to waste per student per semester.
2. I will connect to my audience by using the proper language 'discourse community' for BYU students who have also had to deal with meal plans.
3. By showing both the pro's and con's of meal plans but focusing on how they can be improved I will demonstrate maturity and acknowledge that not all things about the meal plans are bad.
Pathos:
1. I can appeal to the students who are trying to save money by suggesting a meal plan that can be paid at the end of the month or semester instead of pre-paying a large sum of money.
2. I will use imagery to appeal and gain the attention of readers.
3. Make readers feel the need to be more responsible since being in college should allow you to manage your own money more closely rather than just swipe a card.
Logos:
1. I will give students options besides a pre paid meal card to save money and spend more reasonably
2. I will touch on the effects of having all meals handed to students instead of them being able to plan and prepare for being completely on their own.
3. By using cultural literacy I will show I am educated and experienced with the meal cards and am able to suggest a logical alternative to them.
Great ideas Sarah! I think adding these ideas to your paper will definitely improve your ethos, pathos, and logos. It would be very interesting if you could get the statistics of the meal plans and I think it would get the attention of your audience.
ReplyDeleteI really love your ideas, it will be very interesting to learn how to better the meal plan system. I hope someone who can make a difference reads your paper. The only suggestion is to make sure that you don't get too broad. You are covering a lot of ground, just make sure it all ties back to your thesis and topic sentences. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI loved your ideas Sarah! I think if you incorporate those in your paper, you will interest your reader a lot more. Maybe try and add a personal story to your paper that would be considered pathos. I know that for me, it is always more attention grabbing if the person includes a personal story. Just an idea! good luck.
