Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and it is a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader.

Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response.

Logos is an appeal to logic, and is a way of persuading an audience by reason.
