In the book Ishmael‚ Daniel Quinn argues claims about our culture and beliefs through Ishmael‚ the gorilla. He somewhat effectively argues his claim‚ I say somewhat because he doesn’t adequately use all three parts of an argument: ethos‚ pathos and logos.

His rhetorical purpose is to show these people what they’re doing wrong and

However‚ in Daniel Quinn’s 1992 novel Ishmael‚ the character of Ishmael tries teaching the story’s narrator to think of ways in which he has been held captive by both internal and external forces.
