9. Aristotle Greek philosopher The father of the Modes of Persuasion
Studied under Plato

10. Persuasion is clearly a sort of demonstration, since we are most fully persuaded when we consider a thing to have been demonstrated of the modes of persuasion furnished. 
By the spoken word there are three kinds. [...]
1. Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible.
2. Secondly, persuasion may come through the hearers,
when the speech stirs their emotions. [...]
3. Thirdly, persuasion is effected through the speech itself
when we have proved a truth or an apparent truth by means
of the persuasive arguments suitable to the case in question.
---- ARISTOTLE, "Rhetoric", 350 BCE

14. Pathos Pathos: Emotion
To make the audience feel something about what is presented to it

“Tugs at your heart strings”

15. Logos

To make the audience think about what is presented to it

Very straightforward, and not “fluff”. A very scientific, factual approach.

16. Multiple Appeals
