How Does Sundquist Use Logical Appeal To Successful?

Emotional appeal is what draws an audience in, allowing the author to persuade them in agreeing with the argument. Pathos is the most powerful of the appeals, with an author being able to win their audience over completely through emotional effect. For example, Alexis Madrigal utilizes emotional appeal quite effectively in his article “Take the Data Out of Dating” where he explores the dangerous influence online dating sites have the privacy and matchmaking of the public. He first mentions the invasion of privacy by online dating companies as he states, “Date-mining software needs lots of tuning to create good matches, so the services track everything would-be lovebirds do”(424). This fact can provoke discomfort with an audience, giving them a reason to agree with the author. Then he explores the dangerous power of OkCupid’s matchmaking techniques as he states, “What if the dating sites had existed in the 1950s? How would they have dealt with interracial matches”(425). By using the what if technique to have the audience picture his perspective Mr.Madrigal excellently draws in the audience to create an awareness of the online dating site dangers to his

Throughout the first half of Communication 101: Introduction to Human Communication we have been introduced to and discussed a lot of new concepts, ideas, and terms. All of this new material has been pertinent to how humans interact with one another, while also informing us of the why and how behind these interactions as well. The amount of new information we have learned would be impossible to cover and apply to one piece of pop culture, but a lot of what we have learned is relatable to the movie 50 First Dates. This 2004 movie featuring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore features numerous examples of normative relationships and key concepts that we have learned about in class. In this paper I will not only introduce communication terms

In Virtual Love, Meghan Daum explores the contrasts between online relationships, and their face-to-face counterparts. Her writing style is blunt and to-the-point, lacking any flowery words or sayings, and containing little of the rhythm or flow that can make essays on the most boring of topics interesting to read. Her essay seems to be written as if to be a story, and yet her “plot” is predictable and uninteresting. Rather than truly explore a thought or concept, it is simply a narration, with a few attempts at wisdom tacked on in the end.

Many years later they meet again on several occasions but the intensifying stage does not resume until they finally become friends and share details about their past failed relationships. During this period they start spending a considerable amount of time together and their expression of feelings toward the other becomes more intense. We see the beginnings of a true interpersonal relationship development.

The audience plays a pivotal role in Modern Romance because the fundamental goal of the book is for Ansari to educate people on social and dating norms. His book is primarily directed towards teenagers and young adults who actively participate in the dating scene. While Ansari tried to cover the entirety of the “modern romance” conversation, he fails to do so. In an attempt to not lose reliability, he strengthens his argument by using ethos to acknowledge that “this book is primarily about heterosexual relationships,” (Ansari 8) along with pertaining to the “middle-class people, folks who had gone to college and put off having kids until their late twenties or thirties” (Ansari 9). By stating this, it saves readers the time of pondering what the dating culture is like for LGBTQ members and other people that don’t fit those catagories. Ansari wants this book to be a guide for people struggling in the dating world, so they can be more effective and have a higher chance of finding a soulmate or partner.

In Neil Postman’s novel, Amusing Ourselves to Death, he argues that rationality in America has become dictated by television. Through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos, Postman demonstrates that his claim is valid and reliable. These are three forms of persuasion that are used to influence others to agree with a particular point of view. Ethos, or ethical appeal, is used to build an author’s image. Ethos establishes a sense of credibility and good character for the author (Henning). Pathos, or emotional appeal, involves engaging “an audience's sense of identity, their self-interest, their emotions” (Henning). If done correctly, the power of emotions can allow the reader to be swayed to agree with the author. Logos, or logical appeal,

It is midnight at the last party I ever went to because I turned down a one-night stand with Rebecca from math class: Does this sound like you? Many college students seem to believe this to be a true statement. What if you just were not that type of person? Donna Freitas wrote, “Time to stop hooking up. (You know you want to.)”, published in 2013 with The Washington Post. Donna concludes, most students in college would rather go on a date than have one-night stands but fear their social status may be called into question. Donna begins to build her credibility with experience in hookup culture, quantifiable surveys conducted by

The summer camp season I turned 13, I went to a stay over camp for religious Jewish adolescents. I shaved my legs and wore a bra for the first time, still used tangle-free L 'oreal green apple spray in my hair, and shopped at the nearest La senza. I had my first summer romance a few weeks prior — a disheveled, freckly, brutish boy a year younger who took me for two kayak rides and then broke up with me, calling me a tease and, I was sure, ruining my romantic prospects until eternity.

In many papers you will notice different types of persuasion that help the writer to give a reader a better of understanding of the paper. These types of persuasion are called rhetorical appeals. Each appeal has its own ability to give to the writer's paper, ethos is the credibility of the work the writer is using, pathos is appealing to the audience’s emotions, and lastly logos is the logical appeal. When writing a paper a person generally uses at least one rhetorical appeal to persuade their audience.

Gobel’s article, “Five Reasons Why College is Worth the Cost.” Takes the view that college is, in fact, worth the cost. Gobel uses several rhetorical devices when trying to convey her point to the audience. For example, Gobel uses an appeal to emotion when she states, “Parents should want their children to have options.” Using this appeal to emotion Gobel is appealing to parents reading this article, telling them that if they do not send their kids to college they are bad parents. That they are overall, hurting and limiting their children’s future, by not sending them to college. The author uses this appeal to persuade the audience to agree with her viewpoint regarding the issue. Gobel also uses a pathological appeal, when she appeals to authority. For example,

In the book, Hooking Up, the author, Kathleen Bogle, devotes most of her research to interviewing male and female undergraduates and alumni. Throughout her book, she uses various methods to expose the complexity of hookups and the actualities of the gender “rules” on college campuses. The techniques Bogle uses are: explaining the norms of the hooking up culture prior to the twentieth century, describing how the ambiguity of the term “hooking up” on college campuses creates misconstrued ideas about other college students, and comparing the difference between males and females in the hook up culture.

The world of writing is a vast and thoroughly confusing place, so vast in fact that it could not be navigated without an in-depth navigational chart. This chart is composed of and organized by terms that help us get a clearer picture of what we want to see. These terms are genre, audience, and most importantly rhetorical situation. These terms are all interrelated in which you can’t fully explore without having each one identified. One of the motives why writers delve into themselves, to put pen to paper so to speak is to express their views on a topic.

Every red-blooded American male reaches a zenith in his life when he has finally joined the company of men, and been deemed worthy to receive a lifetime of collected wisdom and tutelage from his elder “packmates”. This knowledge comes in both lewd and often brutally honest sentiments that can induce feelings of excitement and unabashed shame, but regardless of the emotions evoked, it is a necessary rite of passage signifying a young man’s entrance into the world of his peers. This transformation and the hesitance involved is masterfully scripted in Junot Diaz’s “How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie”. The dialogue

Hooking up has become an increasingly studied culture by many sociologists around the country. These studies have been done to understand the shift from the old culture of dating to the new culture of hooking up that we experience now. Many people find it interesting that the kids of our generation have become so sexualized and carefree compared to the college days of our parents. Many people wonder how we got to this point and how the dynamics of hookups work, and why we continue to go on with them even sometimes at cost of our mental and physical help. One of these people was Kathleen A. Bogle, who wrote an entire book on the subject called, Hooking Up: Sex, Dating, and Relationships on Campus, which is the focal point of this essay.

We Should Hang Out Sometime, by Josh Sundquist, is intended for the mind of the young adult. Throughout the novel, this can be seen as Sundquist frequently provides the readers with informal language. In an effort to make this clear, he begins the novel with an anecdotal story from his past: “Sarah Stevens would pick truth. I knew she would. I mean, yeah, sure, there was an outside chance she would pick dare” (Sundquist 9). Venturing to relate to his desired audience, Sundquist uses language he is likely to use in his normal, everyday setting. Young adults are far more likely to continue reading and to become intrigued if it feels as though the events occurring in novel could potentially happen to themselves. In relation, Josh references several
