For the three Op Ed articles I have chosen to read about the Tobacco Free Campus policy that will be taken in effect next semester. The articles I read where Disturbing the Peace: Smoke and mirrors, Plavish: Puff, Puff, Past, and Disturbing the Peace: No, Really, I Get These Headaches.
The first article I read was the Disturbing the Peace: Smoke and Mirrors. This article was mainly about the author’s problem with the University of Montana’s new policy. I think some of the Ethos in this opinion article was about the local neighborhoods being affected by the smokers when the policy takes action. The author is beliefs there will be an increase of people smoking near their home and an increase of litter from the cigarette butts.
The second opinion article I read was Plavish: Puff, Puff, Past. This article was written by a pipe smoker. He talks about the consideration he takes toward the non smokers. I thought this author was very neutral in the predicament. Some of the Logos where his opinions on non smokers health. Reading this article I was very neutral about the opinion because the author states the good and the bad things about the new tobacco free policy.
The third article was Disturbing the Peace: No, Really, I Get these Headaches. This article was not about the smoke free campus policy, this article was about the issues of the Montana law legalizing the use of medical cannabis. This author was very neutral in the topic, they also stated the good and the bad issues about the use of cannabis that is going on. In this article I found more ethos then pathos. A lot of the ethos I thought was guiding the reader toward supporting the medical use.
These articles seem like good examples. I'm not sure what you think ethos means in this context. actually I'm not sure if we understood it right in class. I'm going to have to look into it. ;)
