MLK letter compare and contrast

MLK's letter from Birmingham Jail is an excellent example of using ethos, logos, and pathos to get a point across. In the article "Best and Worst Places to Buy a House" found at http://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/article/104278/Best-and-Worst-Places-to-Buy-a-House, the author talks about how in some areas the housing prices are going down but the demand is still high, and it is a good decision to buy a home. The author uses a lot of logos in order to get their point across such as providing the crime rate and other specific statistics. Pathos is used to get the reader to understand the severity of the situation and how it affects them specifically. Ethos is established when the author states, "Whether you're an investor like me or you're looking to purchase that next move up." This tries to get the reader to understand where the author is coming from and to listen to their point of view. I think this article should be viewed by an educated individual but should not be taken as the absolute truth because much of it is highly opinionated.
