Example Of Ethos Pathos Logos

The idea of pathos, logos, and ethos is used throughout all three of the passages it is used in how the first passage uses pathos when astronaut Armstrong expresses a meaningful quote hence using pathos. Then in the second passage, uses logos and pathos to describe if a disaster would have occurred but it did not break out. Finally, the political cartoon shows signs of all three of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos and now let's explain and see how each is used and how it improves, helps the text, and political cartoon.

As Meredith Grey, my fictional idol from Grey’s anatomy would say, “Progress looks like a bunch of failures”. A main focus of this semester was learning our audience, and convincing people of things through writing and or visuals using ethos pathos and or logos. I did not see the connections of any of my papers from the first to second semester at first. But my memoir from the first semester and my campaign project from this semester both use pathos, emotion. For me it was easiest to write about the pathos, but the ethos and logos part was out of my reach. I left some of my comfort writing the campaign paper using all 3 and it gave me a better understanding as a writer to keep in mind who am I talking to, what message am I trying to get across

The use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos is presented in the three videos provided through a wide array of examples. In the first video, Drunk History- Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, the writers use of comedy was used to provide a broad narration of a particular civil rights movement. Logos is a form of persuasion through the “[representation] of arguments and evidence in the matter under discussion” (Campbell 38). In the first video, the use of logos was presented by their wardrobe selection. The use of old time clothing created an antique like structure that would capture the viewers. The second form of logos was presented through the attitude of Claudette Colvin stating “I paid my fare the same as this white lady paid her fare.” This showed Colvin’s logic and reasoning to

The ability to challenge and question texts continuously is a skill that is essential to have as a student. From an academic perspective, analyzing written works is often done by recognizing the ethos, pathos, and logos that is commonly embedded by the author in an argumentative piece. This method of writing is frequently used to persuade the audience to believe in a specific side of an argument. Authors use ethos to gain trust from an audience by establishing credibility. Pathos is used in text to sway the audience by using tugging at the emotions of the audience and lastly, logos is integrated into writing with the purpose of using facts, research, and statistics in the argument. The text that will be analyzed in this essay is written by

The second rhetorical appeal the author uses is logos. He states “you just have to have entered the country illegally before the age of 16” and “all that’s actually required is that the dreamer enroll in a high school course or an ‘alternative’”. This information that he provides reveals the misconceptions many Americans have about who the dreamers are and what they represent and the fact that it didn’t take much for illegal immigrants to become dreamers. In support of his statement about the immigrants taking jobs he backs it up by providing the median hourly wage of dreamers. In doing this he ties in his pathos with logos, an effective way to generate an appeal.

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are all ways of persuasion used in anything spoken or written by someone with a purpose. The address to Congress on Women's Suffrage uses each of these ways of rhetoric within the excerpt. In the second paragraph, Ethos is used by referring to the Declaration of Independence. Logos is used by using historical evidence such as the Revolution and Abraham Lincoln. Pathos is also expressed by using adjectives to describe our country with emotion.

The rhetorical device that I thought was most effective was his use of Pathos. I believe his purpose for using this type of rhetoric is to reach the heart of those he was writing to in hopes of moving them so much so that they feel a, “call to action,” so to speak. While some may argue that Martin Luther King, Jr.’s(MLK) use of logos was most effective, I disagree because while it is possible to persuade someone with logic, wouldn’t you feel compelled to act immediately if something moves your heart rather than waiting for your brain to convince your heart and then act. For example, in paragraph 7, it states, “We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights.” as well as, “when you suddenly find your tongue

use of ethos, logos, and pathos bring hope and empathy to the American people. President Reagan presents himself as a truthful leader by noting that we are very open about the events that occur within our space program. Reagan wants to gain the trust of the people by letting them know he will be sure to communicate with them as events within the space program occur. In his speech, Reagan emphasizes to the people that, “We don’t keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public” (6).

In this excerpt which states Max’s appeal to get Bigger, who is a black man, a sentence of not guilty during the racist 1940’s, Max uses the three rhetorical appeals and imagery to convey his message. Max’s target audience for this speech is the court and judge, which he first addresses in an apologetic tone, but later shifts to a more authoritative manner of speaking. Throughout Max’s speech, he use effective appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos. In paragraph four, he mentions “The Loeb and Leopold case.”

In trying to persuade my skeptical parents that a “gap year” will be beneficial, I will have to establish ethos and appeal to pathos and logos in order to convince them to approve of a “gap year.” To establish ethos, I’d discuss my status as a current student in the high school system, which provides credibility as I have the experience and personal knowledge of the scholastic system to form a trustworthy argument. My appeal to logos would be the use of famous and successful figures of society who took a “gap year” between high school and college. I’d also research statistics on the grade point averages of college students who took a gap year and compare them to those who went straight from high school to college. Lastly, I’d appeal to pathos by addressing the mental and physical strain high school has taken on me and how a gap year will allow not only a de-stress period but also time to explore who I am and the world around me, which will cause my parents to empathize with my scholastic experience.

"It's my purple sweater,” I responded, as my 4th-grade classmates surrounded me, questioning my outfit. Then they said it, the two words that would forever exasperate my adolescence, "That's gay!" And like that, the trend began. From that day on, my typical mannerisms, my lisp, my endless giggling, my fidgeting, were all characterized as gay. The constant bombardment of slurs like "Gayson" bewildered me, resulting in an inner abashment. I was afraid; I was ashamed of who I was.

The least effective text is “Handwriting Matters; Cursive Doesn’t” by Kate Gladstone. In the text the method of appeal that is used most effectively in the text is logos. Kate Gladstone used logos the most throughout the passage and she didn’t use ethos and pathos as much. The three methods of appeal weren’t balanced throughout the passage which made her text less effective. A piece of evidence that demonstrates this is found towards the middle of the passage, “Adults increasingly abandon cursive. In 2012, handwriting teachers were surveyed at a conference hosted by Zaner-Bloser, a publisher of cursive textbooks. Only 37 percent wrote in cursive; another 8 percent printed. The majority, 55 percent, wrote a hybrid; some elements resembling print-writing,

The term Logos is a logic, objective, proof, reason. It is a fact or incident that happened in a period of time. Whereas pathos is a feeling, empathy, values. Similarly, Ethos is a trust, credibility. The video has used a huge number of a rhetorical plan to get point across including logos, ethos, and pathos.

She establishes herself as a parent of a four year old which connects her to her topic. Because she has a child and can experience this technology issue first hand, she gains credibility in giving her information. What are some examples of pathos in this speech?

In the year of 1916 the Irish nation decided to break free of England’s rule by declaring it’s independence using the proclamation. In an effort to persuade England to go along with this idea the proclamation used many rhetorical appeals such as pathos, logos, and ethos. The Provisional Government references God a lot to use the rhetorical appeal of Pathos to show that it’s God’s wish for example in the Monroe Doctrine, early americans used the excuse of god as a right to expand westward. Also The provisional government used ethos when talking about universal suffrage, “The Irish Republic is entitled to, and hereby claims, the allegiance of every Irishman and Irish woman. The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and
