Logos: subject- If you don't know a lot about your subject you have to conduct research and become knowledgeable. Logos is the facts, info and knowledge you have about your subject.

Pathos: audience: Emotional appeals you make toward your audience to influence their attitudes, opinions and feelings. You must be aware of your audience when adding pathos. Not just anything would be OK to add with any audience.

Ethos: speaker: Your credibility as a speaker is important when trying to convince others. There are many things you can do to make them trust you as a reliable source. The way you dress, speak, how much information you have, whether you sound confident, how you've prepared your presentation or the lack of these things can influence whether your audience trusts you.
