5. The essay makes several appeals to ethos. Denby is a well-known film critic. How does he use the

expertise of others - implicitly and explicitly - to

support his argument?

Hello. You did not indicate the essay to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to answer it accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

If the author of the essay uses other people's experience to support his argument, it means that the author uses experiences that prove and show that his argument is correct, supporting and evidencing his statements. An example of this can be seen in a text that uses an argument like "slapstick comedies has lost influence with young people aged 15-20 years" and uses as a support phrase like "high school students claim that this type of entertainment has been promoting predictable experiences that do not actually promote funny situations. " With that, the author shows someone else's experience, which confirms his argument.

a compare and contrast essay is a piece of formal writing in which the author focus on the similarities between two ideas, objects, places, etc., and the differences between them. there are some aspects that the author should take into account when he/she is crafting the essay. first, the author has a clear idea of the effect that he/she wants to produce on the audience (a purpose). his/her main idea should be presented in the thesis statement in a simple but effective way which gives the audience a clear idea of the content and the direction of the essay. in addition, it is also important to focus to the similarities and differences that not only are interesting and relevant to the reader but also provide a new, impressive point of view or deeper understanding of a topic.
