Quiz 3

In comparing the two paragraphs while they both have merits i believe on the whole the second paragraph is more successful in convincing me as the audience. So the first passage starts with the describing of the personal importance of the topic to the author. This could be an attempt to elicit sympathy(pathos) especially since he describes the urge to be constantly coming to him. Moving forward he mentions the new testament and how his message is being derived in part by its scripture. This could elicit a response from a devout believer (pathos) and make the author's message seem to have a religious bend to it. The rest of the article involves explaining  chronos and kairos and doesn't seem to mention and solutions or way to combat climate change and as such i believe this to be the weaker article.

In contrast the second article focuses on the use of evidence and actually argues points to combat climate change. These appeals and plans to combat climate change in the structure of political and business platforms leaves the article with a logos based appeal. To further backup my statement the author of the second paragraph lays plans for financial assistance the growing of alternative energy sources and urges federal authorities to cooperate. Based on the more detailed info and plans on how to accomplish their plans i support the second article as the more effective one.
