Aristotle's 3 modes of persuasion: Pathos, Logos, Ethos

Q1.
2300 years ago, Aristotle wrote down the secret to being a persuasive speaker, the secret which forms the basis for nearly every public speaking book written since then.
ethos: By being a notable figure in the field in question, such as a college professor or an executive of a company whose business is that of the subject.
pathos: is an appeal to the audience’s emotions.
logos:  is logical appeal or the simulation of it, and the term logic is derived from it.

Q2.

Alpachino uses the persuasive technique of pathos ( appealing to the audience's emotions) he uses pathos by using himself as a disgraceful example to connect to the audience emotional to persuade them in to how important going that extra inch is.
