Long Answer
1. As a speech/essay, the narration style is a first-person perspective from the narrator’s (i.e., Adichie’s) perspective. Adichie relies heavily on pathos and ethos in her essay, with a focus on emotional appeal through describing personal humorous encounters, and a focus on her expertise on the subject by discussing her background from Nigeria and the US when discussing these countries generally. Logos is used in her general discussion on conceptual topics, like marriage and equality between the sexes, as she raises popular perceptions and points-of-view of sex and gender and finds faults with these arguments.
