The International Food Festival is a graphic novel that was put together by Parvati Nair, Alana Susbilla, Izabella Gomez, and I. The novel is about an International food festival that takes place in the united states and to be exactly it takes place in our present day time during Trump’s presidency. The food festival has desserts and dishes from all over the world. The protagonist of the graphic novel are the international foods who are all nice and respecting of others. While, the antagonist of the graphic novel are the American foods who believe that they are superior to the international foods. The international foods stick up to the American foods hate and eventually at the end all of the foods get eaten. The purpose of the graphic novel was to spread awareness about the amount of racism that takes place in the United States. The amount of hate crimes in the United States has increased since the Donald Trump became the president. In general the man representing our whole nation is racist, homophobic, anti feminist, and much more. The quote “get of my country” has been thrown around by Trump when referring to illegal immigrants and foreigners in general. We …show more content…
The ethos appeal can be seen by asking a simple question, is it ethically correct to be saying “get out of my festival” just because of where the dessert is from. The answer is it's not ethically correct to be saying a phrase like that. If this was a conversation between two people other people would try to step in because it is ethically wrong for someone to be treated like that. The pathos appeal can be seen by asking how the international desserts felt after the American dessert harassed them. The Americans desserts did not feel good after this they felt hurt and they felt it was unfair. Trump has continually harassed illegal immigrants and even ripped families apart. Does he not feel any pain or any
While I had previously heard of Ethos, Pathos and Logos, I didn’t have a clear understanding of the effect each could have to an audience. Each rhetorical appeal can be useful when persuading an audience, but the most effective use of each would be pathos. Think about a time when you believe something to be true, you just felt it and when presented with actual evidenced that your beliefs were incorrect it didn’t sway your way of thinking. How many times have you seen a headline about a crime of logic? We as humans are emotional creatures. I believe it to be impossible for us to make a decision without emotion.
In 1987, IBP (Iowa Beef Processors) fined 2.6 million dollars to a Dakota City Plant for underreporting injuries, then another 31 million for a high rate of cumulative trauma injuries. The book spoke of the dangers and the “behind the scenes” event behind the making of fast food, such as the process of the food and workers undergo. Eric Schlosser spoke about fast food, showing us what we’re really eating and the tragedies behind the closed doors of the slaughter houses. The book explains fast food in another sense. He wrote the book because he wanted to inform the reader of the reality of fast food and the way the workers put their lives on the line. In Fast Food Nation, Schlosser’s purpose is to get the word about the terror in the fast food industry as demonstrated by his use of rhetorical strategies such as, repetition, figurative language, and pathos.
Walls and shelves of different treats, and Buc-ee’s even presents its own brand of Beaver Nuggets - a sweet, crunchy corn snack. And in each store, a counter the size of a small New York City apartment is overly stocked with 30 flavors beef jerky, smoked sausages and other cured meats. When standing in that area, you can smell the Bohemian garlic beef jerky, which had a pleasant salty pungency, and the cherry maple, which is a lot more subtly sweet than it sounds. Next to that, there’s a quick-service restaurant, prepping many dishes, ranging from smoked brisket to Tex-Mex tacos. Looking at the options of spicy pickled quail eggs to sweet apple pies, the food provided at Buc-ee’s is more than enough to eat for a small break on the road. The varieties and large portions of food seemed to have a meaning beyond consumption itself. As people carry to go boxes and not even open or taste some of the food during their stop, the food loses its meaning of being eaten and gains a meaning of being a souvenir. The cultural food alone provokes customers to want to keep these seemingly authentic, home cooked items, perhaps to share or give to others as novelties and gifts. With that, Buc-ee’s intends to provide more than necessary.
Food can partially shape a person's cultural identity. Geeta Kothari explores the cultural nuances between American and Indian food in the essay, “If You Are What You Eat, Then What Am I?” She expresses this through the symbolism of food, growing up and living between two different cultures. Kothari begins her story as a nine-year-old child curiously wanting to eat the same foods as American children: tuna salad sandwiches and hot dogs. She does not have the guidance from her mother regarding American food and culture. Kothari’s mom curbs the curiosity by reluctantly letting her daughter indulge in a can of tuna fish. Kothari describes the open can of tuna fish as “pink and shiny, like an internal organ” and she wondered if it was botulism (947). The way
Ethos appeals to credibility. In Mother Tongue, Tan builds ethos in her first sentence by writing, “I am not a scholar of English or literature”, and then in the next paragraph she says, “I am a writer”. These contradict each other and by writing this she gives her audience the perception that she’s humble and therefore gives herself credibility because she doesn’t sit on a pedestal. Nobody respects somebody who’s full of themselves and think that they’re better than everyone. Pathos appeals to emotion. Tan evokes emotion in the end when her mother says to her, “so easy to read”. Her mother is referring to the book Tan wrote specifically to appeal to her. Emotions of happiness and pride are evoked because she was successful in making something her mother could understand. Logos appeals to logic. Tan appeals to a sense of logic by convincing her readers that there’s no “correct” English, rather it’s how we use the language to get our ideas across. This is her whole idea of her story and she uses facts and analogies to help support it (Tan). Rhetorical appeals are used everyday in numerous ways often to make a person believe
Ethos is a rhetorical appeal used to grab the attention of the audience’s morals or ethics.
Russell quotes, “One time I went into a store and I forgot my money and they gave me the dress for free.” The Ethos appeal plays apart in this speech by how Cameron took a long pause before she began to say how she got the dress for free. As an audience member, I could tell she was embarrassed that she was telling us how she got the dress for free. The pathos appeal is showed when she speaker started to talk really fast as she was not proud that she was about to receive something she did not deserve (Russell, Ted). The pathos effect was that the store gave her the dress for free because it would benefit the store that such a pretty young woman was representing of what the store had to sell. This affects me with sorrow because it shows how misguided people
For many people, culture and identity are closely tied to identity-- sometimes so closely that the things they do, eat, or say may not even feel like a conscious decision. However, from an outsider’s point of view, it is easy to note the differences between cultures in many different ways. One of the most tangible examples of this is, of course, food. When speaking to many people from older generations, it is easy to see how much food is entwined in their stories from the past, whether they come from far away or are still living where they were born. Throughout Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, food is heavily used in many different ways to represent multiple races.
Pathos, logos, and ethos are all uses of language for persuasion. Pathos is an emotional approach to persuade people, logos is the logical type of persuasion, and ethos is the ethical form to persuade a person. Martin Luther King Jr. used all three of these forms of persuasion in his speeches, but one truly stuck out from the rest, pathos.
Throughout the novel Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser was able to incorporate the use of multiple examples of rhetorical devices to better enhance the meaning and structure of this piece. In doing so Schlosser opened the door to enormous amounts of possibilities in terms of the lessons the readers gain from reading the novel. Without embedding these rhetorical devices into the book all meaning would be lost and would simply be words on a page, however Schlosser was able to provide the opposite of the valueless words. Using devices such as imagery, diction, along with the appeal of like ethos Schlosser was enabled to go deeper into the fast food nation and the harm they cause due to the inexplicable emotions put forth.
Moreover, Ferris talks about how throughout the history of the south, the politics of power and place, have lead to the establishment of a cuisine that includes both privilege and deprivation. Thus, continuously impacting the food patterns of the modern day south. Ferris states, “In food lies the harsh dynamics of racism, sexism, class struggle, and ecological exploitation that have long defined the south; yet there, too, resides family, a strong connection to place, conviviality, creativity, and flavor” (Edible South, 1) . This is exemplified all throughout the text by many accounts of antebellum cuisine influenced by that of African and Native Americans.
Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are three different ways to persuade an audience to a point of view. Each one is used in their own way to dictate the direction a reader should be thinking. Ethos is to use ethics to persuade a reader. This could be done by using the credibility, or character of the author as a form of persuasion. Pathos is using emotions, such as famous inspirational quotes, stories and a vivid dialog to persuade the reader.
The campaign video demonstrates the usage of ethos, pathos, and logos through the characters arguments and behavior. The first appeal, ethos, is shown
This paper will discuss the multifaceted relationships among food, and culture. I will be looking at the relationships people have with food, and explore how this relationship reveals information about them. Their food choices of individuals and groups, can reveal their ideals, likes and dislikes. Food choices tell the stories of where people have travelled and who they have met along the way.
Food is very much a part of pop culture, and the beliefs, practices, and trends in a culture affect its eating practices. Pop culture includes the ideas and objects generated by a society, including foods, and other systems, as well as the impact of these ideas and objects on society. For example, Mcdonald's is another of the thousands of fast food chains that populate our cities though they often use the term “popular culture” only to refer to media forms. Their popularity has also increased internationally. Although all humans need food to survive, people's food habits and how they obtain, prepare, and consume food, are the result of learned behaviors. Mcdonald’s, like other food chains, has made an effort to ‘localize’ its products so that they will be more successful in each different cultural context. These collective behaviors, as well as the values and attitudes they reflect, come to represent a group’s pop culture.
