Review Persuasive elements - logical, emotional and ethical appeals.

INDEPENDENT WORK

Do you think Mary Maloney is justified in murdering her husband and covering it up? Or should she be prosecuted to the full extent of the law? 

As if you are an attorney, write a closing argument for Mary. Be sure to use persuasive devices such as repetition, hyperboles, rhetorical questions and/or irony in your argument:

If she is innocent, state two logical appeals and one emotional appeal as to why she should get off.

If she is guilty, state two logical appeals and one emotional appeal  as to why she should be imprisoned.

Who has more ethical appeal, Patrick Maloney or Mary Maloney?  Does this affect the case?
