Finishing the lecture Butler gave me in the last few pages, his experiences have arrived. Don't get the wrong idea, I found all the information about the types of insomnia, the consequences and the causes very interesting ad can't wait to show what I learned with other people. After a whole load of logos being dumped onto one, ethos came along. Butler began to describe his characteristics as a sleeper. He shared his checklist he does every night when he goes to sleep. "Usually I like feet to be allowed out a certain bit from the end of my covers. They should never feel constrained." (Page 32). This shoves his seriousness a bit to the side while still keeping the formal register.
Using ethos makes the passage more friendly. I felt a connection with Butler as he explained his do's and don'ts while I nodded at the things I do too and smirked at the ridiculous other things. From this passage I see that Butler is trying to connect his audience more by making them know him better. Nothing beats a good lecture and an icebreaker.
