Question

read the excerpt from \take the tortillas out of your poetry.\ for me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. to learn to read is to start down the road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. no one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. there are those who think they know best what we should read. these censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives. which type of rhetoric is used most in this excerpt to convince readers that censors have unjust motives? an appeal to emotion an appeal to ethics an appeal to the authors character an appeal to logic

Explanation:

The author states that "No one has the right to keep you from reading" which is an ethical statement. It implies that censoring (keeping people from reading) is wrong as it violates a fundamental (ethical) right. This is an appeal to ethics rather than emotion (no emotional language like vivid descriptions to stir feelings), author's character (no mention of author's own qualities), or logic (no step - by - step reasoning with facts and figures).

Answer:

an appeal to ethics
