Examples Of Pathos In Fahrenheit 9 / 11

Pathos is another significant element in this film. Al Gore shows pathos throughout by his tragic life stories, word choice, and his various analogies. Gore brings pathos into the film when he

The reason why Pathos is use in his speech because Bush wants to acknowledge the attack how it severely it damaged America

Fahrenheit 9/11, creates many good points and provides the public with an inside look into the corruption of George Bush’s presidency and what could have possibly led to the attacks on 9/11. However, the documentary overall argument is extremely weak. It is not convincing to anyone, other than those already suspicious of Bush’s involvement in 9/11, because of the ineffective ways of argument shown throughout the film.

Pathos was represented in the music video through the lyrics of the song. Singing over and over again the hope of an alternative to the so called bump in the night. This can be found in verse two of the song where Michael sings: “You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination.” Leading me to believe that these hopes were the same hopes he held on to during his own eerie times. Therefore, singing and displaying his own personal accounts, shows an appeal to the emotions of the audience and gains the credibility of the crowd of

President Bush uses many pathos, which is the persuasion through emotion, throughout his speech to prove his point. President Bush calls out the victims of 9/11 who were “moms and dads” (Bush 1) and “friends and neighbors” (Bush 1). This is a persuasion through pathos because President Bush emphasizes the importance of these victims’ lives to other people. President Bush uses these names to influence his viewers to understand that many people loss very important people who cannot be replaced by any means. President Bush uses pathos again when he paints an image in our head of “airplanes flying into buildings [and] huge buildings collapsing” (Bush 1), which has “filled [this country] with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger” (Bush 1). This is pathos because Bush tries to influence the feeling of those who was not there and to help them understand. President Bush uses pathos in the form of imagery to persuade the nation how devastating this event is and how it has affect the emotions of many Americans. President Bush tries to appeal to the heart of the nation by using pathos to explain how terrible 9/11 was and its effects on the people.

This meme is towards the people of the society, from the government. Living, breathing, sentient people treat each other as non living things, machines. Peoples thoughts, actions are being restrained and controlled.There were times in the book where they were saying how they control machines, like the Hound. After the Hound attempted to attack Montag multiple times, Montag shared his problem with Beatty and he said,: “It doesn't think what we don't want it to think.” (25) The machine can only do what the fireman tell, or program it to do. This quote explains how the fireman, government have a full control over the whole society, without them knowing it.A non living thing, the hound was defined as something that slept and lived, as if it was

The first article, “The Real New York Giants” by Rick Reilly is writing to readers that are worrying about the Giants’ next season. Only being six months after the 9/11 catastrophe, Reilley uses pathos to convey his message. He plays heavily on the reader’s emotions, his entire article about the lost heroes in the collapse of the twin towers with a tone of remorse and melancholy. First, he starts off with establishing the determination of the firemen. “We'll have a team if we only have 10 guys. We're playing,” was a quote from Mike Heffernan who had lost his brother on 9/11. Then he goes into vivid detail, describing the men who “ have a nasty case of the WTC cough” from “ inhaling dust, smoke, glass particles, asbestos and, indeed, microscopic remains of their fallen comrades.” He is referring to the many firemen that had to clean up the 9/11 wreckage, which took a lot longer than a couple of days.

Although Beatty decides to reject what he learned when given the opportunity to read books, Beatty is unhappy with his life as a fireman and persuades Montag to kill him by using pathos as shown through his words and actions. Firstly, Beatty orders Montag to burn Montag’s own house, creating anger and sadness within Montag. Messing with Montag’s emotions makes it a pathos appeal. This action alone does not make Montag kill Beatty, but it does push to that goal. In addition, Beatty continues to irritate Montag by insulting him, saying “It was the act of a silly, damn snob” (Bradbury 118). Even though Montag was acting like a snob, or a stuck-up individual, when he read the “Dover Beach” poem to Mildred and her friends, Beatty calling Montag

    By his confident tone, religious beliefs, and his word choice “our” President George Bush secured America safety and security.The Al Qaeda hijacked the planes and did a devastating job. September 11 was a victory physically for the enemies, but mentally America came together as a nation. The United States will remember and never forget about this dreadful

The events of 9/11 changed the way Americans felt about their sense of security. President Bush made a famous speech, ”The 9/11 Address to the Nation”. This speech had a huge impact to the citizens of the United States. His speech was so great because it used ethos, pathos, and a little bit of logos. Which made the people truly connect with him because it made him look equal to them. He truly shows his part of action in this tragic situation.

Joe Levine uses pathos to show that Americans have an unbreakable spirit. For instance, the display of the ruins of the 9/11 incident with people waving signs with messages such as “you are our heros” to the ambulances and “keep the faith”. This exhibits how Joe Levine uses positive imagery, a form of pathos, to make the audience feel happy and give the impression that everyone is united on one front for a common goal. Another example of the use of pathos is seen when Joe Levine displays the Yankees winning a game

On September 11th 2001, the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out terrorist attacks against the United States. Two planes were flown into the World Trade Center twin towers. The third hit the Pentagon outside Washington, and the final plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed as a result, and this tragic event defined the presidency of George W. Bush (History.com Staff). Shortly after the attacks, President Bush delivered a powerful speech that helped unify the American people, defy the terrorists, and call the citizens to action. In his 9/11 speech, President Bush successfully uses rhetorical devices to address the terrorism, unite people, and give hope to his audience.

In President Obama’s “Osama bin Laden Killed” speech he dives right into using pathos. He reminds the country of what happened 10 years ago on 9/11 and who was responsible. This is such an effective strategy because 9/11 wasn’t an event that only affected a few people, it was a day that shocked and enraged a nation. Everyone in the nation was affected. By bringing it back up, Obama rekindles that fire of anger, sadness, and desire for justice in the audiences hearts. Due to this, everyone is drawn in to everything he says after.

The September 11 attacks were tragic events that had spread shockwaves of horror and grief across the United States. The tragedy became the subject of controversy as some skeptics began to doubt the details reported to have transpired that day. Some people question its legitimacy, theorizing that the Bush administration devised and orchestrated the attacks to further its agenda. Filmmaker Dylan Avery discusses and promotes this prevalent conspiracy theory in his documentary, Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup. Avery argues that the government possessed foreknowledge of the attacks by comparing them to precedents of similar situations. He challenges the official explanations and provides his analyzations of evidence from the reports and media. Avery effectively appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos in his film, but his compelling argument is ultimately undermined by fallacies.

In addition to using pathos to get the audience’ attention Moore also makes extensive use of rhetorical questions during “Fahrenheit 9/11,”to create a negative representation of George W Bush. For example, during the classroom scene on September 11th, while Bush sits quietly, contemplating the attacks, Moore poses whether Bush should “have held at least one meeting since taking office to discuss the threat of terrorist” (Moore, Fahrenheit 9/11). Immediately this implies that Bush hasn’t had a meeting on terrorism since taking office in 2001, providing the audience with a disapproving outlook on Bush’s image.
