-"render your parents supremely happy, particularly your ever affectionate mother"
- The use of "I" when she states "I know you capable of these exertions, with pleasure I observed my advice was not lost upon you."
2. This would accomplish her overall purpose of urging John Quincy Adams to partake in many activities throughout this trip by showing how she is his mother and knows a number of beneficial qualities he has to help him on this trip.

 "Some Author that I have met with compares a judicious traveller, to a river that increases its stream the farther it flows from its source, or to certain springs which running through rich veins of minerals improve their qualities as they pass along."
"You however readily submitted to my advice, and I hope will never have occasion yourself, nor give me reason to Lament it.."
2. This would accomplish her overall purpose of encouraging by telling her son that the more you separate yourself from your home (comfort zone), the more knowledge you will gain, and the more abilities you will obtain through your journeys. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212355324 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212355356 AA admits wrongdoing to her son and shows why she sent him to the country, which gives reason to her decisions adding credibility. Also, She used a quote from an author to prove  her point, and authors of the time were some of the more educated people. AA also gives examples like, " Would Cicero have shone so distinguished an orater, if he had not been roused, kindled, and enflamed by the Tyranny of Catiline, Millo, Verres and Mark Anthony." this does not mean much to me but to John Q. Adams it was significant and proved her argument.]]> 2017-12-01 17:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212355356 1271432 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212355418 1. AA's use of ethos: 
"My dear son" 
When she writes this, it reinforces the fact that she is his mother, so that he realizes that it is in his best interest to listen to her. 

"I cannot fulfill the whole of my duty towards you..."
This reminds her son that it is a mother's duty to make sure her children make the right decisions, and that is ultimately why she is writing the letter.

2. This would accomplish her overall purpose of persuading John Quincy Adams to live up to his full potential by acting as a reminder that a mother wants only what is best for her son, so he should take her advice into consideration and realize what he is capable of.

"But add justice,fortitude, and every manly virtue which can adorn a good citizen, do honour to your country and render your parents supreemly happy, particuliarly ever ever affectionate Mother."  She says this ti her son, because it establishes why she is writing this letter ti him and she only wants what is best for her son. 

"My dear son"
When she is writing this letter, she is not writing it as companion, person of business or someone in politics. She is speaking as a mother and she wants her son to take her advice into consideration. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212357352 127344 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212357888 AA's use of ethos:
1. "If I had thought your reluctance arose from proper deliberation, or that you was capable of judging what was most for your own benefit, I should not have urged you to have accompanied your Father and Brother..." She says that if she thought that his reluctance to go to France was rational, then she would not have pushed him to go.
2. "You however readily submitted to my advice." She builds her credibility by reminding him of the good decisions that she has made for him, and that he has listened to her before, and so she would like for him to listen to her wishes now in this letter.
This would accomplish her overall purpose of convincing him to learn a lot in France by reminding JQA that he is blessed to have this opportunity and that he should enjoy himself and the opportunity to learn.]]> 2017-12-01 17:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212357888 nawal_crystal https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212357938 1. AA's use of Ethos
She says, "My dear Son." This shows that as his mother she knows him best. "You however readily submitted to my advice..." This establishes that she is an important figure in his life and has his best interests in mind. "I know you capable of these exertions..." This shows that she knows her son's capabilities and weaknesses. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212357938 priyankah1202 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212361435 Abigail Adams establishes herself as credible mainly through constant reminders that she is John Quincy Adams's mother and therefore only wants the best for him. She starts the letter by saying, "My dear Son," which makes the letter very personal and establishes an affectionate tone. She also says that she hopes that she is not making a mistake in sending him, but is only trying to do the best for him. This makes her seem more humble, especially when she states, "You however readily submitted to my advice," which prevents her from coming off as overbearing and forceful. When she also says, "do Honour to your Country, and render your parents supreemly happy," she shows that as a parent, she would be happiest if he improved himself to be a "good citizen."]]> 2017-12-01 17:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212361435 143814 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pix6sidmqbcb/wish/212381404 1.AA uses ethos when she writes " My dear son" Because she is trying to come off as a caring mother to her child.
