For my ethos artificat I brought two things: my violin and a copy of my scholarship. The book states that ethos is, "the presentation of self that a writer or speaker brings to an argument." The concept of ethos rasies the question, "Can we trust them? are they credible?"
These two artificats pertain to ethos because the copy of my scholarship proves that I have a very strong work ethic in regards to music which resulted in such a prestigious scholarship. I have served as principal 2nd violin of the TCU Symphony and prior to college, I made Texas All-State Orchestra, was in the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra, New Conservatory of Dallas, various quartets, won awards from competitions, was concertmaster of one of my youth orchestras along with my high school orchestra in addition to others. Even though it is simply a piece of paper, it verifies my credibility as a musician. I don't carry my violin around for fun, it's what I do and what I love.
