Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3
In chapter 3 of "Choices 2.0," The author provides advice for readers interested in finding ways to create Ethos in their writing. The author provides many methods to overcome this difficult task from citing credible resources, to asking professionals in the field being written about. Creating Ethos in ones writing is a difficult task, but nonetheless can be accomplished through extensive research that will lead you towards a credible resource. Reading deeply into the chapter, the author depicted multiple ways to help establish a writers credibility. One way the author suggested was to ask a person with a professional view about the subject at hand and quote him on his/her findings. This method stuck out to me by saying that not all knowledge is found in books, but in the minds of the ones who wrote them. Most credibility comes from the minds of the author themselves and to cite a book is nothing to having a professional explain in detail in person what they truly think on a matter. I agree with the authors claim on asking professionals and highly suggest to any writer that if you want to get facts straight, ask someone who studied a subject for their lifetime and they'll provide you with more info than any book could provide.
