In Class: Logos

I pretty much understood everything I read in chapter 4 about logos, but one thing I found particularly interesting was how logical appeal is not just stats and numbers. According to the book a good appeal to logos is also human experiences. When a lawyer calls on a reliable witness to testify against the defendent, the witnesses personal experience helps prove the lawyers point. I guess maybe a not so clear understanding is when the book talks about how interviews are logical appeal as well. I suppose when someone tells of a personal experience that is truthful, they show an argument of reason. The book uses a 60 minutes argument to show an example of it, where an interviewer is interviewing an arsonist who is arguing the label of eco-terrorist and saying that he was just protesting. His answers to the interviewers quests are arguments of reason, because he is stating and fact and then backing it up with a reason, which is what logos is all about I think. Stating a fact and then backing it up with support.
