1. “Lucy,
time to get up to go run. I know that
your back is hurting and that you don’t want to go. However, your back will feel so much better
after we run.”
Analysis
Ernie Seward wants his wife, Lucy, to join him for a run. He must use logos, namely cause and effect,

running. Lucy Seward knows this to be true; this logic is
irrefutable and encourages her to get up, which provides Ernie Seward
with the companionship he seeks.

2. “I
need to bring Jags home for Christmas. He’s kennel trained (mostly). I have already arranged for Henry to take
care of him while I’m in San Diego. I am
going to pay him and everything. Remember
that being able to bring Jags home was one of the items on my Christmas list?”
