Example 1:
Thesis: In An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore wants to reach a large audience, particularly nonscientists, to stress the urgency of responding to global warming.
I. He establishes the ethos of a public servant whose concern stems from ethical and moral rather than political motivation.
II. He provides an enormous amount of technical information by taking advantage of a multimedia format.
III. He appeals to pathos by juxtaposing what was or is with what might be—and, in fact, is likely to occur.
IV. Gore acknowledges several counterarguments, but he refutes them with humor or alternative explanation.
V. He uses his personal experiences as a father and brother to stress the deep commitment he has to this issue.

It makes people crazy because there is always something going on with the world nature wise. Looking pass through those data and though all those numbers won’t stay in your head, it's vital to notice that it has caused so much damage on our planet and that global warming is legit; it’s not something that is made up. By showing past performance of global warming for example hurricane katrina which affected most of america. We need to take a stand of this problem and actually make a difference than just ranting about it’s horrible affect. He provides an enormous amount of technical information by taking advantage of a multimedia format. By showing us the impact and the future impact it’ll make, it catches the audience attention leading them to give sympathy and hopefully acting upon …show more content…
For example, the comparison between the gold bars and our planets while asking which one uphold the most importance. He also mentions the fact that he was the actual winner in the election when George Bush won. They announced months later that Al Gore was the actual winner and he was supposed to be the president. And he jokes about that multiple times basically expressing the lie we lived through with barely any acknowledgement. To express the greater impact global warming will make in the future, he expresses it through the graph and gets a lift device that took him up 20 feet up to show it’s massive impact in the future within a few years difference and of course the audience laughed but it won’t be funny after we are being dealt with it and sadly the graph only implies the
When you see a solider in his or her uniform, you are proud that they are serving this country to protect our freedom, securing our country, and defending democracy worldwide. The solider can come from different branches of the Military. The one you might be familiar with is the U.S. Army. These soldiers are well respected and prepared to serve our country whenever and wherever needed, combat-ready at all times, and trained to counter any threat, anywhere. In 2007, the United States Army department published a recruitment ad for U.S.
I've heard about the PaperRater site from students here and there over the past year, and I've finally had a chance to check it out a bit. It's like Grammarly, but it offers a detailed analysis report after examining your work.
In order to persuade his audience effectively, Red Jacket uses many rhetorical devices. One example can be seen when he states “We gave them corn and meat; they gave us poison [rum] in return.” (296) In this phrase, he uses a hyperbole because it is clear that rum is not truly poison in the eyes of many, but because the natives live such a modest and natural lifestyle, alcohol is frowned upon. By using this hyperbole, Red Jacket is able to create an image of how different the European lifestyle is from the Seneca’s. Furthermore, this phrase is most likely included to persuade the Europeans that it’s important to respect each other’s culture, and not force anything unwanted into one another’s society. In addition, the author incorporates parallelism
An article written by Eric Beam, MD and titled “Welcome to post-truth Medicine” was published on the blog The Long White Coat on January 22, 2017. Eric Beam is an internal medicine resident in New York and The Long White Coat is a blog that focuses on healthcare related issues. This article in particular focuses on post-truth in medicine and was written mainly for other doctors, but it also applies to non-doctors. Dr. Beam seamlessly blends together his use of ethos, pathos, and logos to effectively argue that healthcare has been significantly affected in the post-truth era and it needs to stop.
“McCandless didn’t conform particularly well to the bush casualty stereotype.” Jon Krakauer, in his book Into The Wild, argues that McCandless was a unique personality who yearned for adventure. He supports his claim by the usage of epigraphs, interviews with McCandless’s acquaintances, and various maps that are indicative of where the protagonist travelled. Krakauer's purpose is to use an argumentative structure in order to convince the audience that McCandless was more complex than previously known. He uses a nostalgic and commanding tone in order to emotionally appeal to an audience who may have originally had different opinions on McCandless. In Into The Wild, Krakauer employs techniques of ethos and speaker in order to thoroughly convey
Krakauer’s argument is, “McCandless wasn’t “stupid, tragic, and inconsiderate,” but instead paints a sympathetic picture of a young man with a profound moral compass seeking a higher truth”. His effective case justifying McCandless’s behavior, which may include potential biases, is effective for most personages. This contretemps is feasible, but there are some personages, like Peter Christian, that see the flip side of Krakauer’s assessment. Peter, who “arrived in Alaska in 1992” with McCandless, said “Alaska is populated with people who are either running away from something or seeking themselves in America’s last frontier” he came to Alaska with the same intentions. In his article he states that he was one of those young man.

Nonconformity allows people to go against a prevailing rule so that they may do as they please.
In the short play A Raisin in the sun conflict’s both internal and external occure for in three of the main characters regarding their dreams. When the opportunity came for them to accomplish their dreams through using the insurance money they’ve come across from the loss of a family member, one of the main characters, Walter, wishes to be successful in life; but he needs the insurance money to do so. He wants to use the insurance money to open up a liquor store because he believes this would change his life. A exceptional quote that shows his determination to be successful in life is when he speaks to Ruth “You tired, ain’t you? Tired of everything. Me, the boy. The way we live-this beat up hole-everything”(
The game I saw was the Boston Celtics on TNT. I saw the game for ten minutes, and in those ten minutes the Gatorade logo was shown a total of five times. First, it was shown two minutes into the game, there were two big containers with the Gatorade logo. The next time I saw it was a person with a Gatorade bottle. Then I saw a person with a Gatorade shirt. Then the cameras pointed at another big set of containers on the other side from the other two containers I saw in the beginning. The last time I saw it was on the backboard of the
Week three’s devotional really touched me. Many people think they can do everything on their own, that they do not need God in their life. I feel that we all need God to help us get through the challenges in our lives, so we can grow and learn from those challenges. John 14:26 says, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you” (NASB). John 14:26 supports my feelings when it comes to needing God, as He will teach us.
A prosecutor’s job is to find evidence to support his case against an individual accused of breaking the law while a defense attorney tries to present evidence to prove the innocence of the person accused. Neither can be truly be unbiased about their evidence but each of them is motivated to confirm a particular position. Much like a defense attorney, in his biography, Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer attempts to prove that McCandless’s tragedy was not due to his incompetence or lack of knowledge about the wild. He asserts emotions and rational onto McCandless’s experience as well as drawing similarities between his personal experience and McCandless’s in order to create a more sympathetic response from readers.
This postcard builds suspense in the reader’s mind. Alex saying that this adventure could kill him makes the reader interested in finding out more. “If this adventure proves fatal and you don’t ever hear from me again I want you to know you’re a great man.” (Krakauer 3).
The audience to which this paper is directed towards is the college aged baseball fan in America. They are interested in the game and love to go to the ballpark to watch a game, and if they can’t make it to the game they will try to watch it on TV or catch some of the highlights. They hear the stories about steroids and the various scandals, but don't possess a deep understanding of them. My audience’s attitude towards my culture is admiration for the players and teams. However, likely objections could include the steroid scandals and some fans may be hesitant to accept the fact the these players makes huge salaries each year. Professional baseball players come from all over the world, so while it is likely that my audience share similar backgrounds
1. Carefully presenting quantitive evidence in a way that is authentic and not contrived is essential to maintaining a trusting relationship with the audience, even if that requires the use of less elegant techniques, as Rabiger describes with his "A Remnant of Feudal Society" example.
