Read this excerpt from the speech "cause of the great war" delivered by british prime minister david lloyd george at the start of world war i. which line is an example of the use of ethos as a persuasive device?
before she entered the war britain made every effort to avoid it; begged, supplicated, and entreated that there should be no conflict.

i was a member of the cabinet at the time, and i remember the earnest endeavours we made to persuade germany and austria not to precipitate europe into this welter of blood. we begged them to summon a european conference to consider.

had that conference met arguments against provoking such a catastrophe were so overwhelming that there would never have been a war. germany knew that, so she rejected the conference, although austria was prepared to accept it. she suddenly declared war, and yet we are the people who wantonly provoked this war, in order to attack germany.

we begged germany not to attack belgium, and produced a treaty, signed by the king of prussia, as well as the king of england, pledging himself to protect belgium against an invader, and we said, "if you invade belgium we shall have no alternative but to defend it."

the enemy invaded belgium, and now they say, "why, forsooth, you, england, provoked this war."

it is not quite the story of the wolf and the lamb. i will tell you why - because germany expected to find a lamb and found a lion.

ludwig van beethoven (/ˈlʊdvɪɡ væn ˈbeɪt(h)oʊvən/ (about this soundlisten); german: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːthoːfn̩] (about this soundlisten); baptised 17 december 1770[1] – 26 march 1827) was a german composer and pianist. a crucial figure in the transition between the classical and romantic eras in classical music, he remains one of the most recognized and influential of all composers. his best-known compositions include 9 symphonies; 5 piano concertos; 1 violin concerto; 32 piano sonatas; 16 string quartets; a mass, the missa solemnis; and an opera,

fidelio. his career as a composer is conventionally divided into early, middle, and late periods; the "early" period is typically seen to last until 1802, the "middle" period from 1802 to 1812, and the "late" period from 1812 to his death in 1827.

beethoven was born in bonn, then the capital of the electorate of cologne and part of the holy roman empire. he displayed his musical talents at an early age and was taught by his father johann van beethoven and composer and conductor christian gottlob neefe. at the age of 21 he moved to vienna, where he began studying composition with joseph haydn and gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. he lived in vienna until his death.

by his late 20s his hearing began to deteriorate and by the last decade of his life he was almost completely deaf. in 1811 he gave up conducting and performing in public but continued to compose; many of his most admired works come from these last 15 years of his life, commonly known as his "late" period.
