Invention in Wells-Barnett

         In "Lynch Law in America" Wells-Barnett uses logos as a tool to convince an audience she would normally not have interested as a way to get her argument across. In invention it's not just about what is said, but the way things are said. In "Lynch Law" Wells talks about horrible events, but instead of having an overwhelming appeal to pathos she uses an appeal to reason,logos, as a way to reach a larger populace of more influential people. Invention is very tied into appeals of reason. 
        Wells's use of logic when talking about statistics of people both foreign and domestic lynched. She does talk about children being killed because there father was, a boy being murdered because a white woman made certain accusations, how many foreigners America wasn't able to protect from this bigotry, and how some people were tortured before they were murdered without any appeal to their constitutional rights. However, she doesn't overly appeal to emotion, but simply states the facts. Wells use of invention also helps form audience construction. By appealing to logic and not having any overwhelming emotion she appeals to more influential and male people who are more likely to help.
        Overall, we see invention in the way she uses logos to form audience construction and even the way she uses ideas of American agency to bring her audience more together. Even though it is written in the manner of logos this American agency allowed all her readers to claim something that allowed them to all be on the same side no matter what race or class. Invention is all these things. Invention is the way someone forms an argument, the way they come up with their concepts, and even the way make their final judgement.
