I. Introduction     Thesis Statement: In this article, Steve Almond uses ethos, pathos, and logos, to persuade the audience that all “Accumulated Male Junk” has a purpose, meaning, or memories attached to it.   II.  Ethos       a. “One of the best decisions I’ve made in my three-plus years of marriage was to move all our belongings into our new home by myself.” (Almond 58)       b. “AMJ serves one of two purposes: Either it functions as a reminder of our joyously unkempt bachelorhoods or it represents our wholly unrealistic hopes for the future.” (Almond 58)       c. “But I had bought these shoes in the Old City of Jerusalem and had worn them to climb Masada and wade into the Dead Sea (this helped to explain their unique funk). (Almond 59)  III.  Pathos       a. “But she recognizes the genuine emotional needs these objects fulfill and she lets it ride.” (Almond 58)        b. “I slip it into the stereo and start thinking about how much that album meant to me when I was a miserable graduate student in Greensboro, North Carolina. Then I get all misty and crank up the volume and start dancing like an idiot.” (Almond 59)       c. “Their value resides in the particular set of memories and emotional associations held by their owner.” (Almond 60)  IV.  Logos       a. “My wife’s only persistent AMJ complaint concerns those 4,123 CDs I mentioned earlier. Her argument is entirely sensible. Now that we have a digital library, we should sell/donate/recycle the CDs.” (Almond 59)        b. “To which I respond by suggesting that none of us have made our peace with the present, not entirely. In this era of geographic dislocation, with people moving from city to city. unmoored from their histories, we all long for a stronger connection to our pasts.” (Almond  60)   V. Conclusion       Reworded Thesis: Steve Almond uses his “Accumulated Male Junk” to remember old memories and feel the emotional association the items withhold.  Cosper.PDF
