How Does Suzanne Winckler Use Ethos In A Savage Life

In the “the Jungle” the author Upton Sinclair uses ethos,pathos and imagery to expose the meat packing industry of its disgusting ways to the public’s eye. The first pathos the rhetorical device responsible for getting people into their feeling more than in their thoughtful minds. For example Mr. Sinclair takes full advantage of this when explains the meat packing plant products are not what you think they are. In this quote “there would be meat that had tumbled out on the floor, in the dirt and sawdust, where workers had tramped and spit uncounted billions of consumption germs.”

Ethos is to convince someone of character or credibility of the persuader. It puts author

Ethos is present in multiple of ways throughout the movie. The author appeals to ethos by narrating, giving the reader a sense of trust and assurance in his words. He interviews first-hand sources from a lower level of the industry such as farmer, who can attest to how the animals are really raise and grow, to the attorney involving in the lawsuit .This allows the readers to confidently trust what Robert Kenner is saying. Carole Morison, the farmer, granted the filmmaker access to her chicken farm. She said, “The companies don’t want farmers talking. They don’t want this story told” (3:11) .Morrison certainly serves as a credible source of information, since her life involves chicken farming and interactions with these large companies. This use of ethos helped improve the credibility of this documentary to viewers. These components of ethos strengthen the makers of this documentary claim on the food industry. These facts make his argument more reliable and credible. The audience see facts as verifiability, a statement that can be proven true or false. These informations are more than just opinions so those various facts in this documentary make his documentary more

Meanwhile, ethos allow the reader to view the author as a trustworthy source and builds the author's credibility. An author can do this in a number of different ways, such as using other credible sources to their advantage or by building common ground with the reader. It is especially important for Gladwell’s audience to trust him, as he is trying to convince them that what they believe about success is wrong.

Pathos is used very effectively in Seth Davis’s article. By using pathos he is helping to expose the purpose of the article in a way that you wouldn’t think of before. Davis states “As the father of three children under the age of eight, I can only pray that someone “exploits” my sons someday

A writer can relate to their audience in different ways, one of them can be pathos. Pathos is using an emotional connection with the audience to better relate too. Michael Pollan’s pathos in The Omnivores Dilemma are shown in many forms such as, humor, nostalgia, and pessimistic. By doing this Pollan is able to keep his audience’s attention and to make his case. Pollan particularly used in chapter 7 in his book.

The pathos is the emotional meaning behind the story, such as values, beliefs, and emotion. The trustworthiness (ethos) of the author comes from the biography given before reading the story. Stephanie Rosenbloom, a small town girl from New York, is a 1997

Ethos helps to establish author’s credibility or character, which Wallace reveals by presenting considerable amounts of research on the facts about lobsters, such as their nervous system and scientific references. He writes in an effective manner which makes it comprehensible for readers. Wallace first establishes ethos by saying, “Your assigned correspondent saw it all” (Wallace, 1456). This provides readers that all the information he gains about the festival is through personal experience and that he was assigned to report this year Maine Lobster Festival and mentions the people who accompanied him as well. By given the information above, he is gaining trust as an author from the reader and making the reader believe his report being trustworthy. This is an effective way of persuading the readers because they need to know all this information is from a good source. Once again he exhibits ethos by stating specific details about the well-known Maine Lobster Festival. He mentions, “The enormous, pungent, and extremely well marketed Maine Lobster Festival is held every late July in the state’s mid-coast region, meaning the western side of Penobscot Bay...” (Wallace, 1455).

The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan brings to light the food choices Americans make on a daily basis. In chapters 1, 2, and 3, of The Omnivore's Dilemma, Pollan addresses the issues related to food to enlighten the reader of America's poor food production processes and its unhealthy consequences. After informing the reader where food really comes from, he educates the reader about healthy food options that one should take on a consistent basis. Near, the end of the book, the author takes a look into the past to demonstrate how food used to be processed.

Amidst giant supermarkets and effortlessly accessible meals, Americans eat whatever is in the grocery store. But the question remains, where did that “cage-free” chicken really come from? Americans are lost in their understanding as to where their food actually comes from. The author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Michael Pollan, asserts that Americans are facing a modern-day version of the omnivore’s dilemma wherein they don’t know what to eat. This is because of fickle science that influences confused Americans, America’s lack of a food culture, and people’s unfamiliarity with the food process.

Pathos: It is the use of emotion and affect to persuade the audience. In this appeal, the author creates an emotional statement: “ an overworked single mother may find herself over stressed and fatigued at the end of the day, making

​In conducting a rhetorical analysis of the two articles, "Joel Salatin: How to Eat Animals and Respect Them, Too" by Madeline Ostrander and "Humane Meat? No Such Thing" by Sunaura Taylor, both articles stand in stark contrast in terms of the viewpoints of meat that they present. In order to gain a better understanding of these viewpoints, it's important to understand the persuasive techniques that both authors use in the article for the reader. More specifically, the ethos, pathos, and logos that they employ, as well the way in which the evidence and support is presented will further elucidate upon the arguments that appear in both articles.

How to Speak How to Listen by Mortimer Adler discusses the best techniques to use while in an argument. According to Adler, ethos signifies one’s character. Ethos is present when one is trying to have a character that is fitting for the purpose at hand. Ethos includes making yourself attractive to the audience and proving to them that you are credible. An example of having ethos has a lot to do with how I would present myself to the audience. In order for them to believe that I am credible, I must look the part, that includes cleanliness, looking put together, and healthy. If the audience sees that you can take care of yourself, then they have a higher chance of believing that you can take care of them and their situation. Using ethos can also include presenting the audience with a personal story. This will fill them in with background information about myself and let them know how my character played out during whatever situation I spoke about. The situation would have to be similar to the one the audience is facing, in order for them to draw parallels and better understand how I would handle that particular event.

For human, to master agriculture and trade about 10,000 years ago widely expanded their food options that enable modern human to become a vegetarian (Corliss). A vegetarian does not eat meat not only because it tastes bad, but also it means something to him or her. The more one has faith in vegetarianism, the more one restricts one’s food choice in reality. Henry David Thoreau, who is known as one of the first environmental writers of the 20th century in the U.S. and had lived in woods alone, writes in his essay Walden that hunting and eating animals had bothered him because it seemed as it degraded himself to a beast. For him, eating animals is “not agreeable to [his] imagination” (Thoreau 169) as Thoreau strongly believed that “to leave off eating animals” is “a part of the destiny of the human race” (Thoreau 170). While his belief and the reality he faced had conflicted each other, he tried his best to find a way to live without relying much on meat. Even in a wild, what drove Thoreau was anthropocentric thinking that human can control nature. This dilemma in food choice that bothered Thoreau is what Michael Pollan calls the omnivore’s dilemma. He puts it in his same-titled book in this way: “When you can eat just about anything nature has to offer,

Whether it be because of religion, culture, or personal choice, millions of people worldwide do not eat meat, and the majority of the population, the omnivores, often ridicule these people, the vegetarians, for their choices. This has sadly created a divide between thousands of people, however the cause of this separation is simple. One side, whether it be the omnivores or the vegetarians, feels the need to impose its choices onto the other side. Both sides are at fault here, as the omnivores tell the vegetarians that they cannot get proper nutrients from a plant-based diet, and the vegetarians try to tell the omnivores that they are torturing animals by killing them for food. The omnivores are wrong because, while it does require careful planning, vegetarians can easily get the nutrients they need, and the vegetarians are hypocritical because, as the article will show, farming kills thousands of creatures.
