3 Modes of Persuasion, and Speech

Logos:
reason or the rational principle expressed in argument or justification.
Pathos:
the quality or power, especially in literature or speech, of feelings of pity, sorrow, etc.
Ethos:
the moral element in dramatic literature that determines character's action rather than his or her thought or emotion.


Speech - 
The any given Sundays speech is Ethos because it  has the moral element. Al Pacino's character is telling them with emotion that he has made all the wrong decisions in life and through this he gives advice to the football team.
