Ethos and Logos. They are an integral part of literature and cannot be replaced. They were integral to the story’s emotional appeal and conviction, as well as the logic and logic. The author used Ethos and Logos in “Things fall apart” beautifully because he is African. He imagines how the village, culture, and many other aspects of Africa. What does Ethos and Logos mean for our world? The fictional world of “Things are Fall Apart” is a good example of how it can be close to the real world.
Our real world is closely interrelated with Frist of Ethos’ “Things Fall Apart”. On page 13, Okonkwo, who is the main character, describes how Okonkwo has to work every day on his plantation. The first page shows Okonkwo as “one our most fierce warriors since the founder fought a spirit or the wild for 7 days and 7 nights.” He sets up challenges to test character limits. The same applies in real life. You have to put your best foot forward to get the car you want or the food that you need. There are other examples of logos and Pathos that are still waiting. Okonkwo took responsibility for Ikemefuna’s care when he came to village. Okonkwo treated Ikemefuna the way he treated his own child and was proud of it. However, Okonkwo was not ready to complete Ikemefuna’s sentence. Okonkwo decides that he will go with Ikenefuna for the last time, before ending up being Ikenefuna’s killer. What does this all have to do Pathos. On page 63, Okonkwo expresses his regret by saying that he had “never tasted any food in two days” as well as not sleeping at night. This book is about creating a multi-faced character. He wants to be a multi-faced character. What does this have to do with the topic sentence? If you’ve ever lost someone close to you, or your loved one, you’ll understand how it feels. It can be a mixture of sadness, anxiety, and confusion. There’s one more.
The final thing is that How Logos of Things are relevant to the real world. Page 114 shows a village full of women cooking for a wedding. “It makes sense that someone needs to tend to the stoves regardless of anyone asking for help. How is this relevant to us? Well the author uses logos as a way to persuade you about normal logic.
This book, although fiction, shows us how close a fictional world can be to the real world. It is all about Logos, Ethos and Pathos. The author has created a story that allows him to create characters with depth through Pathos. This book is great. Although there are many similarities to real life, there are also many things that don’t apply to real life. For example, why would you kill your adopted son?
