Theater

       "Seven reasons why theater makes our lives better" was about how theater makes the world a better place. The author of the article was Howard Shalwitz, an artistic director of a theater company. The purpose of this article was to show how theater makes the world better. The audience of this article was anyone capable of enjoying theater, and those who see no purpose in theater. The article uses logos in the regards that it gives some facts, but it is not strong logos due to how it lacks specific examples. The article seems to rely mostly on pathos due to the fact it uses emotional words and phrases and expresses theater as a beautiful way to express oneself and connect people. The article does have an appeal to ethos, especially by including a brief introduction from the editor, by showing how the person who wrote the article is an artistic director at a theater company, showing that the author knows stuff about theater.
