a. Ethos- I have done research and seen a show that has provided me knowledge about the topic. I will present facts that I have learned.
b. Pathos- I will provide the negative impacts of unhealthy sleep habits in attempts for the person examining my research to want to change his or her habits.
c. I will provice reasons why getting a good nights sleep is good for a person's body and the consequences of not getting sleep.

5. I do not feel that pathos will be a driving force in the presentation, however ethos and logos will. By showing negative effects of sleep deprivation, one may want to change his or her patterns to incorporate more sleep in a day and to look for the side effects. Also, this may help show the audience why long-term effects of sleep deprivation and allow the individuals to get a heads-up on what medical complications may occur if they keep up this lifestyle.

6. Through the presentation, I could make a double sided poster- one side with the effects of sleep deprivation that the audience sees first then the other side with sleep deprivation information. The logos will come into play as I will reason with the audience through the poster that sleep deprivation can be detrimental to one' s health. Ethos arises as the information I have collected has come from legitimate sources. Also, in the presentation I can use ethos by providing information on sleeping for people who can't fall asleep and places to go for more information.
