After evaluating the essay written by Ed White, it was evident that he was very confident about the popular method used by many writers universally. The five-paragraph theme is highly common and effective in many cases. White believes that teachers have taken advantage of the five-paragraph theme and backs up his opinion with reasoning. He effectively uses rhetorical devices throughout his essay to help support his argument.

Persuasion is asserted into many works using the methods of ethos, pathos and logos. Ethos is a call to authority while claiming a sense of dominance, a method where the author exemplifies his credentials. Pathos appeals to the emotional side of readers with the hope of coaxing them into sympathizing with author, therefore succumbing to the ideas presented in the work. The purpose of logos is to persuade the reader by proving a point logically, accompanied with reason. Various authors use persuasion in order to inflict their opinions upon readers. In the memoir Brown: The Last Discovery of America, by Richard Rodriguez, the author employs persuasion with the rhetorical features of ethos, pathos and logos in order to

Storytelling is used in persuasive contexts in a way similar to personal testimony, in that uses memorable descriptions to persuade. However, unlike testimony, storytelling contains a plot, characters, and conflict. The advertisement is considered effective if the persuasive goal is the moral of the story (Mullin, 2017, February 21). The Sandy Hook Promise’s persuasive goal can be assumed for viewers to learn the signs by going to a website. However, the moral of the story is that gun violence is preventable if individuals are aware of the behaviors that are signs of gun violence. This is because in the advertisement, the attacker’s behavior indicates an interest in guns and inflicting harm. However, viewers are not looking for those signs, which is why they are most likely to be surprised to see him open the gymnasium door holding a gun. The advertisement’s use of storytelling is fairly effective, because despite the fact that the persuasive goal is not perfectly synchronous with the moral of the story, the two are similar enough that the viewer can understand the issue and feel compelled to take action. The effectiveness of the advertisement’s use of storytelling is also seen in the fact that the story is not related to the message. This can be a drawback in regards to effectiveness, because people could get too drawn into the story to see the message. This can cause the audience to only remember the

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,

Though Adm. Mcraven did use much more Ethos and Pathos than Logos, the way in which he used them was near textbook. By using a combination of all three components he was able to express emotion, logic, and give credibility to himself and his stories. Perhaps the most evident usage of persuasion was the stories he told and the lessons given after them. Doing this, Adm. Mcraven was able to give valuable life advice to his audience in a simple, well composed statement that the audience was able to relate

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely recognized as one of America’s most profound Theologians. Some might even consider him the master of Puritan revival, since he was the leader of the Great Awakening. During his time he was a devout Calvinist who had the power of single-handedly keeping the Puritan faith strong for over twenty-five years, by using vivid imagery to provoke his audience. Edward's dialect was exquisitely influential and yet wielded with class and ease. This essay argues that Edwards was a prestigious theologian in his time that helped shape modern religious culture.

There is no question as to whether or not an author can influence their reader’s emotions. It is something that most people experience at some point or another through fictional novels or a biography, or a speech. The question is how do they do it and why. Through their use of stories and word choice authors are able to heighten emotional intensity in order to manipulate the reader into feeling certain emotions. In a paper or speech where authors are trying to persuade, authors create these emotions because their audience is more likely to accept their argument and want to bring change if they are emotionally invested in something. One particular author that is very good at this is Elie Wiesel. In his speech, “Perlis of Indifference,” he describes his experience during the holocaust. He is able to evoke emotions of remorse, and guilt from the audience by telling his story with vivid details, and sharing his definition of indifference with the audience. He does this so we understand that indifference is a bad thing, and it is something that we should try to end.

The famous photographer Walter Evans depiction of life and the people during the Great Depression of the 1930’s is isolated, vulnerable, and depressing. The image of Bud and his family portrays them to be isolated by squishing all six of them into one room. The small squared picture frame shows that even though they are alone, they still value family. An example of vulnerable would be one of the child’s shirt doesn’t even fit correctly. All of them are not wearing any shoes. The grandmother is the only one who is wearing shoes, which could mean she is he only one that could get a pair. Their house gives off a filthy vibe, which shows that money is very scarce, and they do not have the necessary home supplies to clean the house. None of the

Jonathan Edwards states, “nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you ever have done, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you one moment..”(Edward 48). This quote examines that all human are originally sinned. In the early years of Americans, human nature is established upon religious beliefs which were puritanism and deism. Puritans believed in predestination which meant that god planned eternal damnation for some and eternal salvation for others. In the other hand, Deist believed in perfectibility of every individual through the use of reason and they always seeked to improve themselves therefore; they were not dependent on God. The major

After the immediate conversion sentiments, one knew that they were God’s elect if they perceived God’s workings in their lives in Great Awakening ideals. As Jonathan Huggins explains in “Jonathan Edwards and Justification,” “Edwards regarded the gift of the Spirit as an ‘infusion’ of a new principle of holiness” in which others could perceive that Spirit through the actions of the person and also the benevolent signs from God to the holy person (148). For example in Jonathan Edward’s “Religious Affections,” Edwards lists specific people from the Bible where others could discern the presence of God through the presence of events in their lives (13). To further explain, Edwards mentions John as the most desired by Christ, evident through his presence at the transfiguration and his honor of writing the last book in the Bible, living the longest of any disciple (14). Generally, Great Awakening music took Edwards’s concept and assumed it with the average believer, dictating that believers could understand the word of God, offer interpretations, or even tangible manifestations such as longevity or even financial blessings. For example, the hymn “Am I a Soldier of the Cross” by Watts delineates that believers will be enable by God to fulfill a Christian’s duty and that God will provide them with an understanding of scripture:
