After doing my observation in the library i have come to the conclusion. That there are many different appeals within different parts of the library. Pathos runs present with the different moods or attitudes you get when you enter different sections. In the computer section people feel as if it is a more laid back type of study enviornment. I witnessed people talking, laughing, and very few people steadily working without becoming distracted. The main part of the library also gives a feeling of a more laid back study enviornment. Due to the tables i did witness more work being done, but people still tend to use group work as extra time to socialize. Groups in this section were witnessed to be the loudest. In the quieter sections the environment made people feel as if it was just a place to get there work done and go about there business. Less side conversations or distractions were noticed. More people seemed to be focused on getting their assignments out the way.
I found ethos to be prevalent also in the library. For people who acted in ways that were out of context for the setting that they were in they often were met with feelings of discontent. Any person who was loud in the basement was looked at is if they were guilty of committing a horrible crime. It was to the point where the person had no choice but to feel uncomfortable if they were making to much noise in the quiet section. It was as if each environment had their own set of social norms and those who didn't conform were met with horrible looks.
Logos was present also in the fact that people knew how to act in each different area. A student i witnessed being loud and goofy in the main part of the library seemed to be a completely different person when i seen them in the quiet section. They were steadily working with no distractions when just a minute ago it seemed as if they were unable to get any work done.
