PLEASE I NEED HELP RIGHT NOW!! i need this question

(04.01 HC)
In his closing argument during the Hinckley assassination trial, defense attorney Vincent Fuller said to the jury:
"First is the spring of 1976 when John Hinckley impulsively [goes] out, abruptly sells his automobile and goes to California to become a rock star or a
song writer. Unrealistic, absolutely unrealistic. He had not had one moment of training in music. And he believed he would come on the front of
Hollywood and be an instant success. Needless to say, he was a total failure and it resulted in his depression, despair, and disappointment. He made
another aborted effort, I believe in 1978, where the doctors testified he went to Nashville again with great expectations of being a rock star. Once again
his hopes were dashed, because, obviously, these were unrealistic goals. Whether at that point in time they are psychotic, obviously we are not qualified
to address that. You should consider that, though, in your deliberations."
Evaluate Fuller's argument in terms of logos, pathos, and ethos. Use evidence from the statement to support your answer. Your response
should be a minimum of five sentences.

Answer: Doar's argument in terms of logos, pathos, and ethos can be compared to how Socrates uses those terms. Socrates uses Ethos to refer to credibility and trust. Pathos refers to emotions and values. Logos refers to logic, reason, and proof. In this argument, he argues that if there's no good in doing injustice, then it will never be good doing injustice in response to injustice.
