I leaned about Ethos,Pathos, and Logos

I never thought that ancient Romans could be so insightful. Using ethics, emotion, and logic to convey a point was something that I never valued in writing. I guess I felt like "what I have to say is important, and I do not care how the reader takes it". I have been wrong for years in hindsight. It was very important to "strike a nerve" with the reader of your material to ensure that the very point you are making is understood in no uncertain terms.
