How Does Lyndon B Johnson Use Ethos Pathos Logos

Malcolm X speech God’s Judgement of White America (The Chickens Come Home to Roost) was spoke on December 4, 1963. Malcolm X was an advocate for the complete separation of black and white Americans. Malcolm X uses both pathos and ethos to convince audience members to support Black Nationalism; specifically, he applies these rhetorical appeals when discussing freedom from oppression and equality of people.

Roosevelt creates an emotional diction through the use of pathos. He comes off emotional so he

Additionally, it was primarily for the free blacks in the United States. This address, and many like it in this time, is filled with many juxtapositions, which contrast each other. For example, the speaker calls them country men which generally has a positive connation, and evokes feelings of pride and belongings. However, then in the next sentence the speaker says that they do not belong in America because they are not treated like citizens. However, this is important because this is how America was for these black men who were free. They were free but they still had no political rights. They were free while their brethren were held in captivity. It is important to note that these this individual highlights the hypocrisy, that in the 21st century we can also see. The hypocrisy of the founders who used such sophisticated and liberating language to justify their freeness but does not include the African American men and women of this time period. It is interesting to see that men of this time period shared some of the same ideas as the 21st century about this time

Which is the best way to capture someone’s mind into a commercial. Is it rhyming or making a jingle? Is it making a big funny joke in front of the audience? Is it getting a person who is rather famous to come and help with the media side? All this applies in politics as they all try and gain a competitive advantage. However, they also use a different way to appeal to the voter. Politicians use pathos as a way to attract voters to their campaign, as it appeals to their emotional side which more people understand.

Reagan uses a solemnly optimistic tone that lets the audience know that he too is mourning as they are, but his faith in the NASA space program is still strong without disregarding the tragedy that they have at hand. All at the same time, giving subtle hints to the Soviet Union (which he knew was watching), that this accident wouldn’t allow the space program to end, and that space would continue to be explored. Reagan uses mostly pathos and ethos throughout his speech, to allow the nation to understand that he is a normal person like they are, feeling the same emotions that they felt, and that he would not allow those feelings to create fear or distinguish the nation's curiosity. He does this by using pathos to allow the audience to feel emotionally

In “We Shall Overcome,” Johnson also employs pathos when he asserts “…we are met here tonight as Americans – not as Democrats or Republicans. We are met here as Americans to solve that problem.” By using restatement of the phrase “we are met here as Americans,” Johnson develops the literary device of pathos by eliciting feelings of patriotism within his audience. The feelings of patriotism in turn call for compassion based on equality from Johnson’s audience. In addition, by saying the term “American,” Johnson’s audience would be able to realize the nature of the treatment of fellow Americans (African Americans such as Martin Luther King Jr.) and possibly lead to change. Overall, the application of pathos by Douglass and Johnson sparks emotions that can lead to societal transformations.

President Reagan evokes pathos in the introduction of his speech by using diction and a flashback. Reagan addresses the grief that is being felt nationwide by his use of diction, he states that the tragedy “is truly a national loss” (Par. 1). This appeal to pathos makes the audience feel truly connected and unified as a nation during this terrible time. Another way that Reagan evokes pathos is by using a flashback. For example, Reagan states, “Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground. But…we’ve never had a tragedy like this” (Par. 2). At first the flashback is used to remind the audience that this type of accident has happened before, however, he also reminds them that it has never been this extreme. In a way, he is showing them hope, but also making sure that the audience knows

The Founding Fathers created this country on the concept of separation of church and state; the line “under God” is found in, however, implies that America is one nation kept together by the will of God, which does not uphold the Fathers’ principles. The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause prevents the government from making any laws that hold one religion over another (Procon.org). Based on this clause, the Pledge should not have been able to have “under God” added to it, so it is only rational that the phrase is removed. Though at least 80% of Americans support keeping it in the Pledge, one of the key components of American democracy is upholding the rights of the minority as well as the majority (DemocracyWeb.org). As shown, the will of 80% of Americans, who are presumably Christian, should not be able to silence the will of the other 20%, especially considering all people are supposed to recite the

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.

As I began to read this article I noticed that logos was definitely used as one of the rhetorical appeals. The author attempts to persuade his audience by making a claim and providing some type of proof after each claim. For example, “Papa John’s says it has been pulling advertising associated with the NFL. The league, it says, has given some feature spots in return.” This quote was provided after the author mentions how, “Papa John’s is no longer going to advertise with the NFL.” The first example of how he makes a logical appeal. At the end of the article he also mentioned race, stating that “Most whites are not racist,” and how “To accuse so many of it is to see those fans simply walk away from the game.” That is a pathos appeal or in other

In the essay “Why the Pledge of Allegiance should be Revised,” Gwen Wilde argues that the Pledge of Allegiance should be altered to better fit the image of Americans.Wilde states that the phrase “under God” should be removed due to the fact that only 70 to 80 percent of Americans “say they are affiliated with some form of Christianity,” and that the other 20 to 30 percent are unable to say the phrase “in good faith.” Wilde wrote her essay for a composition course at Tufts University. The following is a summary of her essay.

During the 2016 Vice-Presidential election, candidates Tim Kaine and Mike Pence use persuasive language and strategies for their arguments. Notably, both speeches measure about the same in terms of implementing pathos through the repetitive use of their hardships and their families. Pathos is a strategy used to stir up the audience’s emotions. Based on the strategic manipulation of pathos, middle-aged voters may tend to sway towards one candidate more than the other.

Connection, trust, and facts make up the basis of how to persuade, which is vital for science, writing essays, and many other fields. Trust is depended on bias and experience of a subject, this is a tool of persuasion called ethos. For example, Mr. North (a teacher who has taught for many years) would have a more convincing ethos than a new teacher on the subject of students. While ethos is important, facts and statistics, logos, are considered more trustworthy than status of a figure. Logos include evidence that are supported to help prove a point, a fact or statistic could be: students are more likely to succeed if they are working in groups. Connections are the most major tool of persuasion. Pathos uses connection to cause emotions, this

Malcolm X uses forms of persuasion like pathos and logos to develop his argument that black nationalism is the best and only option they have. He uses pathos to sympathize with his people and claims that this is the current situation for all of them, and this is what they need to do to resolve it. He shows this when he states “until we become politically mature, we will always be misled, led astray or deceived…”(X,p4) this text really is there to serve the purpose of showing that malcolm X was all about anti-ignorance and opening the eyes of his people. He was all about teaching his people about black nationalism and what they must do politically and economically.

In this advertisement, JR,the Japanese railway company, tries to persuade Japanese and foreign people to visit Kyoto by taking JR’s trains. This advertisement conveys pathos in order to attract people’s attentions to Kyoto. In addition, pathos is used to connect Kyoto to pride of Japanese people. Sakura represents the symbol and the pride of the Japan. The reflection in the pond shows delicacy, calmness and magnificence of nature. These images explain the relationship between Japanese people and nature. Besides this, it demonstrates one of the best charms of
