Persuasive Writing - by Kurt

L I: Write a persuasive piece of writing using Ethos, Pathos and Logos. Image result for rules

It looks like people don't like rules as they represent, but in fact life can't be organized without rules. People always need rules to be able to live safe . Can you imagine even a game without rules” of course it would be terrible . If they are playing a game, they follow its rules or it will be unfair.Everything in our life should be restricted with rules or it becomes a mess or unfair.
If there are no rules and everyone is free to do whatever they want. We need rules to help to be safe and respect each other. rules keep every one safe from theft and bandits.Image result for rules

For example,  if a student ignores rules in class, the teacher will not be able to achieve his goal and other students can't concentrate.If Drivers who don't follow rules can cause serious injury.

All the rules and laws have the same purpose. They organized the relations and the society to do what is right and wrong . if  someone breaks the rules. They are designed to make everything fair, respect for other people .
