In What It Is Like To Go To War, Karl Marlantes writes about a multitude of issues that war veterans have to deal with after coming back from war and uses the rhetorical appeals of ethos logos and pathos to try and build common ground with the audience. The opening pages to “Loyalty” are not written in the viewpoint of Marlantes being in the Vietnam War, providing where and what Marlantes was loyal to and how he viewed loyalty as, this is ineffective method t build common ground with me because I have never experienced any violent scenario let alone war; Marlantes heartache after leaving Meg behind to show how painful it was for both of these young lovers shows a strong use of pathos because everyone can relate to heartache, romantic or not, to the other rhetorical

I feel like the author wants us to experience it visually in our mind to show how cruel and disrespectful he was to the prisoners. He wants to show us that because the way the Officers didnt care about the prisoners health or there wellness.

Finally, He wants us to understand that people will do anything to survive like when the son jumped his father to get one peice of bread all to

Rhetorical questions are often proposed to help get the audience to question themselves. An example of a rhetorical question is what do you consider to be the value of life? Many people will say life is greater than anything else on Earth, but then why do people go around smashing bugs or destroying trees or getting abortions? “Scholars would talk about symbolism in writing, but no one had asked the writers.” At any state, many other people are forced to consider that their view on the subject is.
