As you know, effective argumentation appeals to logic (logos), ethics (ethos) and emotions (pathos). Please discuss how Swift uses all three appeals and how these tools impact his purpose.

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for the question to be answered accurately, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.

In general, we can say that Swift uses the pathos, logos and ethos resources to persuade the public. With the use of pathos, he manages to stimulate the emotions of the public, highlighting the more humanitarian side and allowing everyone to be moved by a specific theme. In relation to logos, he manages to impose arguments that were created through reasoning and that logically fit into society, allowing the public to identify with these arguments. With the use of ethos, he is able to show ethics and his ideas, stimulating the moral standard that society recognizes and tends to accept more easily.
