Alexandra Villarreal uses the appeal form ethos by referring to professors, an architect, and a state senator to convey her message and persuade her audience.
Villarreal’s article builds around a series of opinions from professors in form of Alvita Akiboh, Daina Ramey Berry, Rhae Lynn Barnes, Karen Cox, and Sherwin K Bryant.
As well as opinions from Franklin Eugene Forbs II, who is an architect and Amanda Chase, who is the state senator of Virginia.
“Racism isn’t always abrupt. It isn’t always in your face. Sometimes, it’s very insidious,” said Franklin Eugene Forbes II, an architect
and urban planner” and “It’s all about shoving this down people’s throats and erasing the history of the white people, and I think that’s wrong,”
Virginia state senator Amanda Chase recently exclaimed in a video.” Forbes II has a very negative view on the matter because he believes himself to be haunted by racist symbols everywhere.
He does not understand why he as a black American has to use a bill with Andrew Jackson, who enslaved hundreds of people.
