Ethos Pathos Logos

Writers use pathos, ethos, and logos in their writing to appeal to their audience. Pathos is an appeal to emotions, ethos is an appeal to trust, and logos is an appeal to reasoning or logic. Frederick Douglass's, " What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" is about his views and the views of many slaves towards the Fourth of July. He uses ethos, pathos, and logos effectively to convey his central message.

Im gunna state the story of the self, the story of us, and now. Beyonce needs a gladly references various parts of dark culture and needs you to recall where they originate from. Beyonce was born in Houston, Texas. Beyonce is of African-American and creole descent. Dark culture has been winding up continuously popular. Beyonce needs you to comprehend our columbusing. All black lives matter in the why we’re all at the of stigmatized right now being watched and told standard by our light color assistants. Beyonce recovers dark culture and reveals insight into the shameful acts tons of shading. Beyonce in the video try’s to stand up for her darkness, readily and lastly should a connection. According to Eric Liu “The day when a majority of Americans

At the surface, Beyoncé’s new video might seem like an attack on police, due to the sinking of the police car and seemingly anti-police imagery. I believe, however, that in her video she is instead advocating black pride while sending a self-empowering message. Following a surprise release on Saturday February 6th 2016, Beyoncé shocked the world with her edgy and powerful music video made available for free download on Tidal. (Natalie, 2016) She then performed her new song during her guest performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The video contained many elements such as the #blacklivesmatter movement, Martin Luther King reference, Katrina devastation of New Orleans, black empowerment, police brutality, unity, and the empowerment of women.

These lyrics symbolize power of black women and it proves that as women we have the ability to get in formation and set free from the growing cultural standards and turn out to be successful while being leaders. Beyoncé, one of the most highly recognized black women of our time is a model of how black women are looked at in the media. As a society, we are so used to looking at celebrities and models and we forget what the average woman looks like and from there we continue to stereotype and pick a part things that are wrong with black women. In turn, we are degrading their identity and I think “Formation” does a good job by reenacting a black society and the troubles that we go through.

The opening scene of the music video shows three very exasperated looking women getting ready to be driven by their husband played by a boy. This might be a unsubtle poke at the Saudi ban of women drivers or a just as unsubtle poke about the male guardianship laws where little boys have more rights than adult women. The rest of the video is the women’s escape from patriarchy as the women do badass things such as bowling which they are not allowed to do realistically. Everyone’s favourite American president, Donald Trump also makes a cameo in the video in the form of a cardboard cut-out and the head of the House of Men. This might be serving as a jibe to the male dominated governments across the globe. What to say in a world where Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund, has said sweet-sweet things aboutKing Abdullah of Saudi Arabia being a “strong advocate of women”

Beyoncé has been in the spotlight for the majority of her life, with her first performance on television being at 8 years old and then later recording her first album at 14 with Destiny’s Child. She has always known what it is like to be in the spotlight and the expectations that come with it. In Ghost, she attempts to cast off these expectations by showing her and her dancers struggle with a long cloth and full body suits. While it is easy to see this as Beyoncé grappling with fame as a whole, “Ghost” can be read as Beyoncé getting rid of the image she was once forced to maintain; an image that was meant to placate and not push parts of her identity such as her race. In Nicole R Fleetwood’s article about Diana Ross, she comments on how Diana Ross

The R&B soul and pop artist, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, also known as Queen Bey, is known for her catchy pop/R&B soul songs that encompass much more than a new summer tune. The 2011 phenomenal hit “Run the World (Girls)” song by Beyoncé is a female-empowering song that brings feminism to the light in a time where feminism was not as popular as in today’s pop culture. Feminism, a concept that is for the equality of both women and men in all ways of life, is a powerful component of the song in which it gives the song its overall meaning (“Feminism”). Furthermore, how the feminism expressed in the song hints at the future success of the song and how it would be received in the world of 2011. Throughout the song, Beyoncé praises women for the work

In this way, Beyoncé is reproducing postfeminist ideology in many powerful ways. She is not her husband’s object, she is her own artist who is unapologetic in her music, even if it’s about him. She breaks

This song is a shout out to women that have finally let the hurt go and are working on improving themselves for themselves only. Feminist Criticism is “...the ways in which literature (and other cultural productions) reinforce or undermine the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women”. Within feminist criticism there are different waves of feminism as well. Drakes new song in particular relates to fourth wave feminism. This is the newest feminism movement that began around 2012 and is associated with the use of social media. The main focus is justice for women and opposition to sexual harassment and violence against women.

Because of that performance, she receives a lot of hate till now. The reason I take her as an inspiration because she knows she is an artist. She creates arts and she knows that the most powerful art is usually misinterpreted. Anyone who perceives her message from her performance as anti-police is completely mistaken. She was just trying to celebrate her roots and culture during Black History Month, and if anyone is galls with that, those feelings were there long before the performance. If people still hate her for this, I am proud she is a part of conversation that is pushing things forward in a positive way. I used to ask why would Beyoncé keep uplifting women and black people. Probably because I am living in Malaysia which makes the issue about downgrade women and killing black people is not a news Malaysian’s always hear. But because of her, I now understand feminism in the right concept. I learn that being a feminist and be feminine or for that matter masculinity, is not the same thing. Every people is not the same. Everyone who believes in equal rights in men and women, they of course don’t have interest in the same thing, wear the same clothes or having the same thought. If a man can do it, a woman should be able to. Some of the things we teach our daughters is allowing them to express their sentiment, their despondency and

The track of the song is a steady beat of peppy optimistic-sounding major notes with slight pauses in between. This beat provides a blend of pop and reggae, a fusion that is far from the serious and hurtful nature described in the lyrics. Additionally, this music complements the video in which Beyonce is seen walking down the street in a bright yellow dress with a big smile on her face. This juxtaposition gives off the idea that Beyonce is owning her problems. Despite her unfaithful partner and his victimization of her, she is “bouncy” and happy whilst walking down the

Beyonce and Christina have almost the same message , their message was trying to convey that many girls are insecure and it is very common in this generation or in society in general , their pr target audience is to young female women , the purpose they had was to assure that everyone has insecurities but you can't let people see you suffer you need to confident and sure of who you are and what you want to show people . Beyonce message was conveying that a lot of girls change their image for other people in society or even on TV that they have to show a image of perfection to turn into someone they are not , Christina message is very similar she wants to show has society itself has made everyone very insecure

For the second time in her career, Beyonce released a new, unexpected single/music video called “Formation”. There initially was much chatter about her new album but no one could have expected it to be so controversial. As a long-time fan, I spent some time analyzing what she was trying to convey to us, the listeners/viewers.

5: I think like [participant 3] said she's trying to convey female empowerment as one of her themes and I think that like that's nice, but then at the same time, I'm- I would consider myself to be African like I am black but like culturally I'm African. So, I think a lot of people when they look at the video they're like oh, I identify or I feel empowered because I'm seeing someone like me. and for me I'm kind of like I get it, but then I don't in a way because we're a little bit different than some of the things that she shows and portrays in the videos. I see it but I'm not a part of it if that makes sense. Like I just have a different cultural-

Pretty hurts by Beyoncé is a song. It talks about well "pretty hurts". It shows the things woman do for men and society. It gives an example to lift up girls and not to make them feel bad. For them to not feel insecure about there body and how they
