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.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
