Yet again, the woman is not as sure and keeps making excuses.

Marvel to His Mistress: Carpe Diem!
1,000 words, approx. 3 pages
Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" is structured as a poem but flows as a classical argument. He uses the three stanzas to address the issues of time, love, and sex. In doing so, he creates his own standpoint and satirizes his audience in the process. Using appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos; logical reasoning; and even a hint of the Rogerian technique - Marvell proves that acting now is essential. The logical argument for the "carpe diem" theme is built up from beginning to end.
