The basket is overflowing with dirty articles and a pile is starting to form on the floor. No longer is the carpet in my room an off-white; it is now speckled with an array of colors. After week and a half, it has happened again: it is time to do laundry.

Though she most likely can tell I only brought up cleaning my room and closet as leverage for permission to go to the lake, at least she can recognize I am putting in the effort to view the situation from her side and keep her requests in mind. This proves to my mother that I am making a “willing sacrifice” (64). Putting ethos to use, this mindful ploy demonstrates persuasion in an ethical way, as I made it very clear that I was aware of the fact that I still have chores to complete, allowing her to believe in my high
