Question

for each detail from the text, identify whether the language appeals to pathos (emotion) or to logos (reason) and explain how the language connects to the author’s purpose.

text	detail	appeals to pathos or logos?	how appeal connects to author’s purpose
	then i’ll have to get up ridiculously early and struggle through another long day of school without any sleep. (paragraph 4)	(handwritten: pathos)
reasons to reverse the rule	there are many reasons for touching base with our families. when practice plans change or we decide to stay after for help, we can call or text for a ride. (paragraph 4)	(handwritten: logos)
	the solution isn’t to take tools away, but to teach how to use them responsibly. the director of a chicago high school said, “cell phone bans demonstrate a dereliction of the school’s duty to equip students to participate thoughtfully and responsibly.” (paragraph 5)	(handwritten: logos)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each text detail for pathos (emotion) or logos (reason) and their connection to the author’s purpose:

1. “Then I’ll have to get up ridiculously early... without any sleep.” (from Desperate Plea for Relief, Paragraph 4)

• Appeal Type: Pathos (focuses on personal, emotional experience of sleep deprivation and a hard school day).
• Connection to Purpose: The author uses vivid, relatable details of a stressful morning/school day to evoke sympathy (pathos) and persuade readers that the rule (e.g., cell phone ban) is harmful or unfair by highlighting the emotional toll of following it.

2. “There are many reasons for touching base with our families... call or text for a ride.” (from Reasons to Reverse the Rule, Paragraph 4)

• Appeal Type: Logos (provides practical, logical reasons for family communication, like ride requests).
• Connection to Purpose: The author uses logical examples (changing plans, needing a ride) to argue that the rule (e.g., cell phone ban) should be reversed, as cell phones serve necessary, reasonable purposes.

3. “The solution isn’t to take tools away... participate thoughtfully and responsibly.” (from Reasons to Reverse the Rule, Paragraph 5)

• Appeal Type: Logos (presents a reasoned argument + expert testimony from a Chicago high school director).
• Connection to Purpose: The author uses logic (teaching responsibility > banning tools) and expert authority to persuade readers the rule is flawed, as it avoids teaching responsibility (a core school duty).
