A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Charleston Animal Society

The website my group choose to do our rhetorical analysis on is CNN. CNN stands for Cable News Network. CNN was founded by Ted Turner and 25 other members in 1980. CNN was originally a tv channel. CNN lasted from 1980-2003 on tv. In 9995 CNN was made into a website. The website attracted growing interest and is now one of the most popular news websites in the world. The widespread growth of blogs, social media and user-generated content have influenced the site.The website CNN helped us find the observations “(what)”, examples “(how)”, analysis “(why)” to rhetorical concepts. We figured out how to use the concepts and how not to use the concepts. The rhetorical concepts are audience, purpose, Ethos, Logos, and Pathos.

They are an organization that "specializes in investigating reporting and providing fresh analysis about the abortion industry..."("live action". n.p. Web. 3 Sept. 2015). This particular ad is Pro-Life and the web site is all about promoting life and protecting human rights. It is obvious that the picture is trying to create some kind of reaction. The ad relies on the sole effect of Pathos. The ad portrays pathos because it is targeting a very diverse audience, that being said it is meant to spark a reaction in both pro-life and pro-choice advocates. The audience is prone to disagree with the reaction of the ad but the point is very clear. The main appeal of the ad is to try to change the minds of the pro-choice believers in to not aborting and keep the pro-life believing that abortion is a mistake. By adding a picture of a fetus they are personalizing it and making the viewer not only see a fetus but they are making it seem innocent in a sense that plays well with their words. Anyone who sees this ad can understand exactly what it is trying to say. The word choice was made very clear so that the audience was not

Rhetoric is a persuasive tool, consisting of logos which is logic and reasoning, pathos which is emotional language and ethos which is character and fundamental values. Rhetoric is a fundamental thing used by pigs and importantly Squealer, whom persuade other animals to follow the pig’s decisions and needs.

The rhetorical situation helps the audience understand all aspects of which the rhetor writes. When an audience understands the rhetorical situation, they are able to make a judgment on whether they believe the author to be credible or not, or their writing to be effective or not. Mary Crow Dog and Maya Angelou are both effective rhetors because their rhetorical situations work together to make their essays compelling. “Civilize Them with a Stick” by Mary Crow Dog and “Graduation” by Maya Angelou each introduce effective rhetorical situations as they establish their individual identity through their educational experiences.

The first use of rhetoric that is seen is at the start of the commercial. The commercial opens by simply showing the symbol for the Humane Society of the United States, which is the shape of the United States made up of animals. It then shows the animals being rescued by the teams of people that work for the HSUS. Every worker is wearing a shirt with the HSUS logo on it. Opening up with their symbol, and showing the pictures and videos of the recues with workers wearing HSUS attire establishes their good use of ethos. When a person watches this commercial, they see that the Humane Society of the United States is an organization that is built around the belief that animals want, and need to be cared for and loved. It

The rhetorical situation refers to “a situation in which people’s understanding can be changed through messages.” (Zarefsky, 12). The rhetorical situation analysis consists of four elements: audience, occasion, speaker and speech, each assessing the quality of speech. In this essay, I will analyze the rhetorical situation of the historical speech “The Challenger Address” delivered by the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan.

On the topic of animal rights, Vicki Hearne and Peter Singer represent opposite ends of a belief spectrum. Singer describes, in numerous articles, that he believes animal rights should focus on if the animal is suffering, and the best option to prevent it is to limit interaction between animals and humans. Specifically, in “Speciesism and Moral Status” Singer compares the intelligence and ability of non-human animals to those with severe cognitive disabilities to establish an outrageous solution to animal belittlement. He uses logos (the appeal to reason) and ethos (the appeal to ethics), to question the current rights in place to appeal to other scholars. Nevertheless, his approach can cause an emotional disconnect to the readers; this apparent in contrast to Hearne’s pathos (the

In reference to the 100A assignment sheet for the rhetorical analysis, a rhetorical analysis is a written work that focuses on analyzing and understanding a published article. In this assignment, students will get opportunities to develop their writing and improve deep analytic skills to identifying rhetorical strategies that writers will use to achieve the purpose of a well-written document. The audience for this analytical paper will be my classmates, professor, and the committee members of the 100A.

General For this Rhetorical Analysis assignment, I have reviewed two documents, one from John Vucetich, a Professor of Wildlife at Michigan Technical University and one from Adrian Treves, an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at The University of Wisconsin. Both documents request that the Grey Wolf remains on Oregon’s Endangered Species List as the specifications of removing the wolf from the list have not yet been met.AudienceThe primary audience of these two documents is the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission and it is clearly stated upon both documents in a letter like format, where they state, “To the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission:” or “Dear Commissioners,”. The Secondary Audience would apply to any of the other

Rhetoric gives you an avenue to tell a story from your perspective in a way that connects with the intended audience without having to be one hundred percent substantiated. This writing style is evident in almost everything we read from billboards to Internet ads and even political speeches.

It is kind of ironic that in the picture above some low brow European wanted and bought an illegally poached Hippo tooth that has a sculpture of other endangered animals who are on the path to extinction because the buyer thought these animals are majestic and beautiful. So I assume he thought "What the hell lets kill one so I can show the world how much I love

For effective rhetoric to take shape, the rhetoric must create a situation through which they are able to persuade. According to Vatz, "No situation can have a nature...independent of rhetoric" (154). If rhetoric were not present, then there would be no situations. The situations created by

In The Rhetorical Situation, Lloyd F. Bitzer argues that what makes a situation rhetorical is similar to that which constitutes a moral action as he writes that, “an act is moral because it is an act performed in a situation of a certain kind; similarly, a work is rhetorical because it is a response to a situation of a certain kind”.(3) By defining the rhetorical situation in this way, Bitzer further contends that rhetoric is a means to altering reality. (4) It is through the use of discourse that one is capable of changing reality through thought and action. (4) Bitzer then elaborates upon the nature of a rhetorical situation by explaining that rhetorical discourse enters a situation when: providing a response to its state of affairs;

To begin with, all three speakers the same audiences, being biased and using ethos rhetorical appeal to persuade readers. To begin with, all Three speakers addressed the same audience, Although the authors don't call the intended audience out by name it is obvious they are talking to animals fans and owner because their are the only people who could be persuaded about the Topic. Another similarities between the speakers is that authors were biased for their side of the controversy Author claims that, now it's time for all of us to listen to speaker one and ban touching animals because it is very dangerous for parents and their kids to be touching the dangerous animals.” On the other hand, speaker 2 and 3 claims that ‘’ the solution isn't to ban touching or seeing animals and frogs forever. Because they have different opinions and are on opposite sides of the controversy. A final similarity is noted between speaker 1 and 3, Both Speakers are biased and speaker 2 in not Biased, speaker 3 is the stronger argument, speaker 2 is back logos speaker 1 ethos-using expert opinion quotes to build credibility, and speaker more people will touch animals. And speaker’s 2 and 3 love to watch people touch animals and watch contest on animals so it doesn't matter to them about the people that die they
