Example Of Ethos Pathos Logos

The Author of the passage is debating, whether student athletes should be awarded monetary compensation for their contribution to teams that garner millions of dollars for universities. The author uses appeal to Logos and Pathos to build his argument on the subject, and to help persuade the reader to agree with the the argument they are trying to make.

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.

Alone, the use of only ethos, pathos, or logos would make for a semi-interesting story, but together, they tell a believable account of real events. Beatty makes use of all three techniques to connect with her audience and share her own story as well as hard facts that verify the events. The powerful combination of ethos, pathos, and logos conveys Beatty’s story convincingly.

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.”

Normally an author uses pathos to gain sympathy from readers by using emotions. The first example of pathos is when she made the statement “ If you are black and male and you do not play sports — well, good luck gaining admission to schools like UNC (Jackson).” In my opinion, this is a strong statement that is hard to read and makes me feel discouraged. The reason she said this was to show her point that they are extremely picky about who plays on these high revenue teams. These schools are only looking for the students who will bring in money for the school and that is why the author is trying to show that they get treated with priority. Another example of pathos is when she said “ Unlike college athletes who bring in revenue, non-revenue

This article shows great details of how bad writing can be fixed. The article begins by showing logos of what high school and college students are struggling with the most. The reason is that it states key examples of what the students at New Dorp high school aren’t good at. The article shows a lot of opinion from teachers by telling their ways of fixing the students. It is also repetitive by saying that the main reason the kids are not good writers is because they are lazy. In certain ways, this article is using pathos by the teachers. I do think the writer could have used more proven facts.

The appeal of pathos is used in this article to evoke the emotions of the readers. There's different kinds of emotions the readers can feel from reading this article. she uses examples to strengthen the main idea and also to bring out the emotion. In the beginning of her Introduction she uses the word "slaughter" which reveals a terrifying scene on the reader's mind. She then gives examples of the type of crime juvenile committed, murdering, raping, and assaulting someone with harmful weapon.

Speaker, Occasion, Audience, Purpose, and Subject are 5 different interactions that is shown throughout literature. SOAPS is the acronym for these 5 interactions. Rhetoric is when you or someone were to be persuading a person with writing or speaking to them. Rhetoric is broken down into 3 different types of appeals which are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos means appeals to ethics-convincing someone with previous experience (Ex. Doctor), logos means appeals logic, and pathos is appeals to emotions. Both the rhetoric appeals and the 5 different interactions can be mixed into a form of writing. These 5 different interactions and the 3 different types of appeals can be found in variety of texts like the texts that had interactions with the moon landing in the late 1970s. Those of which are the printing press writing about the moon landing, a speech that was prepared by President Nixon if needed to be stated, a person stating his opinion of the rocket ship taking flight, and a drawing created to be a political cartoon.

The next sample of pathos in the story is when the author uses heart-wrenching vocabulary. During the marketplace scene, when the men are being taken to work at labor camps, the elderly people are forced to stay back. This is an excellent example of when the narrator uses this type of vocabulary . The narrator uses words like “disobey” and ”labor camps”. It also gives the reader chilling quotes such as, “This crowd was silent. In a way, it resembled a rally- but it was different from that too. I don't know what it was exactly. One only knows that we suddenly stopped and my sister began to tremble, and then I caught the trembling, and she said: "Let’s run away.”...” These phrases and vocab terms display the appeal of pathos very well, it makes

Reading, some people hate it, some people love it. As a person who hated it and grew to love it, i know how easily reading can be influence, rather its the cover of the book, the genre, or even critics on the book. When it comes to reading many things can influence what you read and what you don’t read. Throughout high school and even college, people are forced to read articles, stories and even textbook that can be a drag for some and the highlight of the day for other. My question today is: How does ethos, pathos and logos affect people’s reading activity when forced to read for class?

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 three appeals of logos, ethos and pathos are used to varying degrees in the songs to present a message of hope to the African American community in light of racial discrimination, specifically segregation. In presenting his message, Cooke takes the audience through his life in an anecdotal form. This topic of invention displays how the song is structured in a logical order, from the description of his humble beginnings “I was born by the river in a little tent” to the final message “a change gonna come, oh yes it will”. The logic of his song is structured through five verses, where all verses except the fourth verse concludes in the same way.

The first step to successful writing is to understand the key components of ethos, pathos, and logos which contribute to the rhetorical aspect of one’s writing. Entering the course with a basic knowledge of these three rhetorical concepts, I learned how to further effectively analyze them and use them properly within my own writing. I learned how important it is to master the use of ethos, pathos, and logos because it is the key to connecting my writing with my audience in order to better persuade them and create a more effective argument. Without the use of rhetorical elements, an argument can lack that connection with its audience, therefore creating a less effective argument and defeating its own purpose. Alongside learning how to use rhetorical
