Article for paper A

http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-There-A-Difference-Between-Loving-Someone-and-Being-In-Love?&id=321212

This article is very general and that makes me think that it has a very broad target audience. The author uses questions that incorporate ideas for people who are in relationships, those who are going through break-ups, and probably even people who are not in a relationship at the time.
He uses numerous examples of what it means to be in love, as well as siting his own extensive research to boost his ethos. He clearly posts numerous articles, so he probably has a fan base of people who believe in what he says.
I think he uses the part of asking readers to ponder a couple questions in order to show them how confusing it is to find answers about what love is. That could be called an attempt at logos.

His argument is effective, although it seems to me that he kind of takes the easy way out. Anyone who sees this article and decides to read it will most likely do so because they are searching for an answer to the question "what does it mean to be in love?" His answer to that question is what the reader already suspected: there is no straight answer. Although that is an answer most everyone can agree with, that still shouldn't stop you from giving a try at a more extreme view.
