Ethos Pathos Logos In Cesar Chavez Speech
In the excerpt, Cesar Chavez, labor union organizers and civil rights leader, discusses how
nonviolent resistance to problems in society easily resolves a situation better than violent protest.

By doing so, as well as using his many rhetorical strategies throughout, Chavez becomes very
