Senator Bob Corker strongly uses Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. All three are used strongly throughout his many interviews. In the first interview excerpt, Corker used Ethos heavily with a few examples of Logos. Throughout the interview, Corker gives many examples of President Trump urging him to campaign, and how the President would endorse him. Corker also gives examples of many things he’s done to provide Ethos that show his credibility as a political figure. To tie into the Ethos, Corker also used Logos when providing the dates of his meetings with other political figures. In the second interview excerpt, Corker uses Ethos and Pathos with a small amount of Logos. Ethos is shown in the statements given about his part in the Iran deal and the President’s urging for him to run. It is also shown when Corker tells of the President inviting him to a private dinner and the other multiple occasions where the two have met. Similar to the first excerpt, these Ethos examples show his credibility to be a political figure. Corker uses Pathos when he talks about growing up, “...not using the L word,” and how he doesn’t understand why the President lowers himself to such a small standard. He also appeals to the audience’s emotions when saying that, “... we don’t …show more content…
Corker uses Logos in this speech when talking about the passing of bills, a recent Congress vote, and what the Department of Treasury has been dealing with. A specific example of Logos was when Corker gave the example of a Congress vote dealing with taxes, “Congress on a vote of ninety-eight to two in the United States Senate, which is rare, pushed for this.” Pathos was used in this excerpt when Corker reassures the audience that the initial steps being taken are, “very good,” and that he wants to see things happen, “on behalf of the American people.” He also emphasizes Pathos by using phrases similar to, “like you,” when speaking to his
The Federalist Papers No.10 and The Federalist both use logos as a way to persuade their audience. The Federalist Papers no.10 uses many uses of rhetorical devices especially logos to persuade the colonist to say yes to the Constitution for example in paragraph fourteen which states “The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to
He used pathos again when he outlined the effects the war had on the soldiers that took part. “So many of ‘our’ best men have returned as quadriplegics and amputees, and the lie forgotten in Veterans Administration hospitals” (Kerry). Last Kerry uses logos when pointing out to the congress that the vietnamese are “...not a free people now -- under us. They’re not a free people. And we cannot fight communism all over the world, and I think we should have learnt that lesson by
Aside from the use of pathos, President Bush also uses logos, which is the persuasion through logic. President Bush informs the country that “these acts of mass murder [are] intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat” (Bush 1). This is a form of logos because logically the terrorist group attacked because of their hatred of freedom, and the United States was a symbol of that freedom to many people. President Bush uses logos in this situation because he wants to not only persuade his viewers that this is done by a group of terrorist, but also to inform those who do not understand why this event happens. Towards the
Bush uses appeals throughout his formal speech to help advance the argument he proposes. While doing this Bush takes his listeners on a roller coaster of emotion, appealing to pathos and to logos, then to ethos and back to
To start with the first rhetorical appeal, there is a quote which incudes ethos. Patrick Henry says: “No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism.” (Para, 1) He builds this Ethos by expressing a religious passion, because his audienece are patrious and christians. But ths is not the only way he uses
As was first mentioned, the use of Pathos, Logos, and Ethos is a common device woven throughout the body of the speech. The first one to appear is Ethos, where she consistently and repetitively reminds the audience of her status. “I speak as a Republican. I speak as a woman. I speak as a United States Senator. I speak as an American.” The first and the third are the most blatantly reputable, but all of these
According to Aristotle, ethos means that the persuader convinces someone else of their character or credibility or appeal to ethics; pathos means the persuader convince the audience of an argument by creating an emotional response or appeal to emotions; and logos means that the persuader is persuading an audience by reason or appeal to logic. Ethos can make a person sound fair or unbiased, person could also introduce their expertise or pedigree, and a person could use the correct grammar and syntax when it comes to using the appropriate language. Pathos can make an audience feel sympathy from the persuader or to make them
Not only is Ethos and Pathos used effectively in the speech, Logos is as well. Though the use of Logos is used much more indirectly than either of the latter, it is still an important component of the speech. Adm. Mcraven uses Logos by providing support for his statements and lessons taught throughout the speech. For example, Adm. Mcraven explained how one individual could ultimately change the lives of eight-hundred million people by only changing the lives of ten in their lifetime. He supports this claim with mathematical reasoning and evidence, “Ask.Com says that the average American will meet 10,000 people in their lifetime. That's a lot of folks. But, if every one of you changed the lives of just 10 people — and each one of those folks changed the lives of another 10 people — just 10 — then in five generations — 125 years — the class of 2014 will have changed the lives of 800 million people.”
Senator Byrd used ethos, logos, and pathos in his speech to convince the government to make the truce with the Iraq. As a senator
Logos was used much less in the speech compared to ethos and pathos, but still has a great effect. He used logic to explain that he knows in order to be forgiven that he must change and repair breaches of his own. Also he says, “I cannot move beyond or forget this- indeed, I must always keep it as a caution light in my life- it is very important that our nation move forward.” He used logic to explain that in order for our country to prosper that it must move keep rolling through hills. He continues to tell the people that he knows what he has done is very wrong and that integrity is important and that selfishness is wrong. By owning up to his wrong doing and giving logical reasoning to the people that we must move forward shows that Bill Clinton knows what he is doing.
As well as Pathos and Ethos, we have some Logos that make the speech even more credible and logical, to believe what the president is saying is true. An example from the speech would be, “It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious
Any speech tries to persuade the audience to accomplish the goal of the speaker. There are multiple modes of persuasion. These modes include Logos and Pathos. Logos is the actual evidence and argument whereas pathos is the speakers appeal to the audience’s emotions. In Mary Fisher’s 1992 Republican National Convention Address also known as “A Whisper of AIDS” Fisher speaks to America about the seriousness of HIV and AIDS. Fisher uses both logos and pathos to appeal to the audience. She urges America to take action by using evidence and experiences to promote emotions and certain attitudes to her audience.
Nixon uses Logos throughout his speech by using an appeal to logic and by using different reasons, he persuades his audience. Nixon uses logos by asking questions to the audience. Nixon says “Taxpayers shouldn’t be required to finance items which are not official business but are primarily political business.” When Nixon says this, it makes a strong point on why his audience should absolutely support Nixon’s cause. I also find it surprising how Richard Nixon tell the people how much is his salary for a senator and makes it seem very low amount. This statement that Nixon says makes him seem like an average man and makes people think what they want for their decision. While Nixon is making people question many things, he is explaining to the audience are in safety in his hands by bringing up facts and making people feel emotions. Nixon makes very good reasons for people to think that he is an ordinary man and this convinces the audience to be on his side and believe
Logos is defined as an appeal to logic. I feel like he uses this the most out of all of the other ones because this speech is meant to appeal to logic because it is reasons on why we need to end the war. The first time he uses logos is when he starts talking about why we are in need of peace. In the speech he says “We entered this war because violations of our right had occured…” (1). I feel like this is a logical explanation as to why people go to war and why this war had begun. Therefore, it appeals to your logic.
Logos means reason. Martin Luther King Jr. uses logos to show why he is delivering this speech and why he wants things to change. He is delivering this speech to show how many blacks and other races, that weren’t being treated equally, really didn’t have freedom like they should. “It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro.” (King, M. L. Jr. (1963, Aug.28) Para 6) “Instead of honoring the sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.’” (King, M. L. Jr. (1963, Aug.28) Para 5) These quotes are just a couple of the logos quotes Martin Luther King said in his speech.
