A Mighty Argument

The argument contained within this picture is based on both Character (Ethos) and Reason (Logos).

The argument based on Character, or Ethos, is derived from the fact that although the picture contains no words to indicate a reputable source, it was printed in the New York Times, which has earned for itself a very trustworthy and prestigious name. The reader can then infer that the argument made by this picture must be trustworthy because it was endorsed and printed by such a reliable source.

The other argument in this picture, based on facts and reasons, or Logos, makes a bold statement using only visual elements. The argument is one of justice and determination, and is in favor of the Monks. The picture highlights the best aspects of the monks, such as individual determined faces marching through the rain. The monks were marching to support democracy, and that can be inferred from the way the monks are positioned in the picture.
