...Ethos, Pathos, & Logos The reason I chose this image, of a woman dragging a briefcase, which left a trail of blood was because it is a great example of pathos, logo, and ethos. The logos of this picture is to explain how buying animal souvenirs is cruel and unnecessary. The picture shows a trail of blood which implies that a poor defenseless animal was murdered. In the bottom of the picture it says “Don’t buy exotic animal souvenirs” implying that when we go on vacation that we shouldn’t buy poached souvenirs. In this case they used an extreme visual example of a bloody trail depicting the horrific side of buying exotic animal souvenirs. When I looked at this picture I felt a mixture of feelings. I was sad and upset because it implied...

...His first attempt to connect with the listener is when he states “Hella holes in my stocking holding your pockets in place”(Sunday Candy). Pathos takes place in the quote because Chance tries to appeal to our emotions by making it seem like he is a unwealthy man since he treats his woman like a princess. This then shows us a connection he is trying to make through pathos because once in a relationship you will sacrifice many things to make your partner happy because that in return will make you happy. Chance sacrifice’s in this line his “stockings” even though it can mean many more things just so his partner could live without no financial worries. This is something relatable because when you have something you love and take care of no matter...

...Purpose – Didion's purpose in the passage was to make the audience question about our "morals". He points out that being right or wrong is all completely subjective and no one has the right nor the power to assume it is correct. Didion's usage of imagery is above extreme. By using imagery the author illustrate his examples clearly for the audience to judge the ethic of human conscience. And beyond that nothing is fundamentally wrong or right. The author's tone is assuredly calm and knowledgeable. The author achieves the trust of the audience with his tone. His syntax is also very sophisticated in a way it forces the reader to unarguably agree upon his arguments. Last but not least, his narration is impressively subjective. Didion incorporated...

...Rhetoric Paper After carefully reviewing and researching the required videos an accurate account for pathos, logos, and ethos were found in all three. In the first video, pathos is presented when the speaker gave great details of how Claudette Colvin was unjustly removed from the bus and thrown in jail in 1955. The movement caused the NAACP to be flooded with letters concerning those events. This shows sympathy of the behalf of the public. The local president of the NAACP chapter decided a boycott of the public bus system needed to take place to show this type of actions would not be tolerated by blacks. Thus showing empathy from the black community. The organization agreed with the motion but agreed Claudette was too young to appear before the public in that manor. All in agreeance, Rosa Park was chosen to lead the NAACP in the segregation movement of the bus boycott. Although this was carefully planned Rosa pretended to be tired and sat in the white’s only section of the bus. While being escorted of the bus white onlookers showed a lack of respect or understanding by taunting her....

...Aristotle created rhetorical appeals, he divided these so called appeals into three categories: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Rhetorical appeals are made to help your argument goals by helping your persuade your audience of your ideas. Ethos is to help support your argument by using credibility. In essence we typically believe the people around us that we respect. This appeal helps identify you as a person that the audience should listen to because you know lot about the topic or you have authority (Durham). Ethos can be related to the word ethics or moral principles of the writer or speaker (Writing Commons). One example of this would be, if a Basketball player is giving a speech the audience will think his Ethos is strong because he has a lot of experience (Williams). Another example of this would be the time when my father was in the marine corp. My family had to attend a rank ceremony. During this a Sergeant gave a speech in which the whole crown fell silent as he began his speech. This is an example of Ethos because the crowd found the Sergeant a highly respectable and creditable person that they need to listen too....

Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and it is a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader (Examples of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos). In order to establish an effective ethos, the speaker must present themselves in a way that will make the audience believe what they say.

...By the time of the 2004 presidential election, George W. Bush had already served as president of the United States of America from 2000-2004 and was running for reelection. Because of Bush’s experience holding the presidential office, he had a greater situated ethos than John Kerry, his opponent, who had only served as the governor of Massachusetts at that time. However, through Barack Obama’s speech The Audacity of Hope at the 2004 Democratic National Keynote Address, the gap between the pre-existing ethos of the two candidates is bridged and the audience is swayed in Kerry’s direction. Obama uses personal anecdotes to build excessive pathos which reduces the amount of logos necessary to convince the audience to vote for Kerry because the...

Throughout this paper the advertisement and how these three appeals are used will be described. Now let me explain to you how CDF uses ethos, pathos, and logos to attempt to help prevent teen pregnancy in their advertisement. First, let me explain what ethos is. In advertising, ethos is essentially having credibility to what you are advertising. The CDF does a great job of using ethos in this advertisement. For example, the CDF uses a quote at the bottom of the picture that says, “Being a teenager is tough enough. Why make things more difficult by becoming a mother too?” It says this right below the stomach of a pregnant teen girl. Having an obviously pregnant teen in the picture saying this gives it credibility. The opinion of a struggling pregnant teen is much more credible than someone who has not experienced what she has. This advertisement is obviously directed towards teenage girls who are thinking...
