"Nothing is wanting with you, but attention, dilligence and steady application, Nature has not been deficient." This is a good reasoning from her side as to achieve any success we have to work hard and be attentive.
" The Habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties."
All these statements give out a logical reasoning of how surviving and facing such difficulties would help him bring out a better person from within himself.]]> 2017-12-01 17:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212356141 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212356990 1. AA's use of logos:
"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."
"Your knowledge of the Language must give you greater advantages now, than you could possibly have reaped whilst Ignorant of it, and as you increase in years you will find your understanding opening and daily improveing."

2. This would accomplish her overall purpose of persuading by convincing her son that he is capable of success and giving him a reasonable reassurance that he himself should also believe he is capable. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212356990 1451042 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212357586 AA's use of logos is evident through her allusions to short anecdotes that help to promote her argument. For example, she says, "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..." Another example of her use of logos is when she says, "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." 
These both would accomplish her overall purpose of convincing her son that his trip to France will help to extend his knowledge and help him to achieve his goals by logically alluding to short anecdotes that explain how people achieved success and saying that her son could do the same. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212357586 aditipallod66 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212358249 1. AA's use of logos:
- "The Habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. All history will convince you of this, and that wisdom and penetration are the fruits of experience, not the Lessons of retirement and leisure."

2. This would accomplish her overall purpose of persuading JQA to overcome the obstacles in his life by showing through logical reasoning that going to France (an experience) will result in a great development of JQA.]]> 2017-12-01 17:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212358249 michaelfrancis https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212358809 1. AA’s use of logos, “The Habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. All History will convince you of this, and that wisdom and penetration are the fruits of experience, not the Lessons of retirement and leisure”.
2.This would accomplish her overall purpose of teaching her son to work hard and act and behave correctly by convincing him that wisdom is important and crucial.]]> 2017-12-01 17:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212358809 grace_knauss https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212358825 She says "Great Necessities call out great virtues." This would accomplish her overall purpose of convincing her son that struggles in life make a person stronger by summarizing her past statements in the last paragraph into one logical sentence. In the last paragraph she lists examples of how people can have vigorous minds from difficulties, so she uses logic to then apply this idea to "Great necessities call out great virtues." If there are problems that one must face, then obviously that person will grow from the things they have to overcome. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212358825 1270141 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212358839 She says, "If you indulge yourself in the practise of any foible or vice in youth, it will gain strength with your years and become your conquerer." She also says, "That wisdom and penetration are the fruits of existence, not the Lessons of retirement and leisure."
This would accomplish her overall purpose of motivating him to go to France by telling him logical explanations about life, helping him to understand it better. It is also telling him results of actions that he must change if he wishes to succeed in life, where he would need to escape his boyish shell and become more mature. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212358839 139355 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212359311 1. AA's use of Logos:
Metaphor of the traveller to a river.
Lines 17-18: "Would Cicero...Mark Anthony." 
Line 19: "All History...this."

2. This would accomplish her overall purpose of convincing J.Q.A. that he should accept the offer to travel to France in order to fulfill his full potential by describing to him the past successes of struggling people]]> 2017-12-01 17:17:56 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212359311 alissale52 https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212679259 1) Abigail Adams' Use of Logos:
- Line 17-18: "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."
- Line 19: "All History will convince you of this, and that wisdom and penetration are the fruits of experience, not the Lessons of retirement and leisure."

2) The use of logos would strongly support her claim to John Quincy Adams that he should take advantage of his privileges and use them to advance his innate abilities by referencing true historical figures who embraced their difficulties and overcame them, thus emerging more experienced and more capable. The effect of using logic would perhaps further convince John Quincy Adams and strongly appeal to his sensible nature.]]> 2017-12-04 00:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/smithjennifer/pyp28htus0lx/wish/212679259
