Pathos In College Speech

Another way Clinton uses pathos is when he tries to comfort the people who have lost loved ones by saying, “You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything.” Clinton lets the audience know that they have people that will help them through this hard time and they have the nation behind them: “You have certainly not lost America, for we will stand with you for as many tomorrows as it takes.” Clinton ultimately reaches his goal of comforting his audience by using ethos and pathos strategies throughout his speech.

In the TED talk, How Great Leaders Inspire Action, The presenter, Simon Sinek, a “leadership expert,” claims that all great leaders and innovators have one thing in common, they all have a reason why they do what they do. He convinces the audience that his claim is correct through a relatively balanced use of the use of the three Aristotelian appeals pathos, logos, and ethos, he gives specific facts and examples to show his audience how his claim has worked for history’s greatest individuals and organizations, and he uses rhetorical devices such as amplification and parallelism to strengthen his argument. With the use of these different techniques, Sinek is able to successfully persuade his audience to adopt his claim.

One of my more vivid experiences of public speaking was when I was taking a class at a community college. While taking this class I would often have to give speeches and demonstrations in front of the class. As I was waiting for my turn to give my very first speech, I was very certain that I would have no problems at all, it would a piece of cake, or so I thought. All of a sudden, I hear my name being called as it was my turn to deliver a knockout performance, but as I stood in front of that small class of people I just blanked out. An overwhelming amount of anxiety came over of me. I could feel my heart beginning to race and my hands starting to sweat. I could not for the life of me remember what I was going supposed say. In addition, the

the beliefs that were implanted into him by society. He would mock Jim, but now- after all

Patrick uses pathos in his speech as a way of persuading. He says “ They tell us, sir that we are weak.” That is a example of pathos because because most americans are competitive and they will want to prove them wrong. Another example would be when he said “I consider it nothing less then a question of freedom or slavery.” When you actually think about it freedom or slavery, anyone in the right mind would pick freedom. He used pathos in his speech and he was very clever while doing so which really played a big part in persuading the audience.

Literature is an essential part of the center of a person’s life. It provides a certain assurance and “feeds the soul” of one. Whether it be a book, TV, or even an advertisement, literature exists everywhere. A person is able to develop many skills by studying literature, and expand the horizon of their learning. An immeasurable amount of insight and knowledge can be gained from the study of literature which contributes in providing readers with an understanding of the past, and a philosophical assimilation of the moral behind a writing piece.

Pathos Pathos is one of the three types of methods that can be used when trying to pursue someone. Pathos is a Greek word that means suffering or experience. Pathos is when emotions are used as a method to pursued your audience in a presentation or argument. There are different techniques to use if you wanted to pathos into your argument.

In his second part of his speech he used pathos to try to win the audience.You can tell he uses it because he tries to get the audience emotion tied to what he is talking about. “Indifference,after all is more dangerous than anger and hatred.” With this quote he tries to scare the audience to explain to them how indifference is very dangerous. Him using this type of approach is very effective when trying to convince them. He also uses example of hitler and World War Two and how we overcame nazism and communism in the same century to show how indifference made an impact on the world during that

Lastly, Kidd used pathos during his speech by using his sense of humor to explain his thesis to made his speech interesting and catch the audience's eyes, instead of having a long-wind speech. For instance, he started his speech with sentence that made up lots of with “ blah” and then he said to the audiences that they do not understand what it means because they do not know what do these “Blah” represent for. He also believe that audiences were surely want to find out the meaning of it. He did this because he want people to know the importance of mystery and clarity in the art of design and speech, so that he could let the audience to focus on his speech. For his closing, he said that “ And if there’s just one thing that I leave you with from this talk, I hope is this: Blih blih blih blah.... Blah blah.” He use the same “blah” to end the speech, but this time, the “blah” was given meanings.

This speech seems like an experiment to make our younger generation more motivated towards conquering the problems that may occur, and motivate them to give it a try, regardless of their

As this semester comes to an end it is time to look back on all the lessons learns and assignment that I have spent so many hours on. Throughout this class we have been taught how to properly pose an argument and also perform a rhetorical analysis. The main key terms we have studied and come to are the logical appeals; ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is a logical appeal to ethics. It is used to convince another of their character or credibility. Logos is used to appeal to logic, this is where through research is mandatory to persuade by reason. Finally Pathos is used to appeal to emotion, it is used to try and instill a connection with the reader and subtly persuade them to the side they are arguing for. We have completed quite a few assignments

So I asked Jordan, my respectable acquaintance in the crowd, to take my extra gloves and say, “Are you telling me you had two pairs of gloves this whole time?” And then I would respond, “Jordan… we’re in Iowa…” As a little demonstration of Jim Carrey’s humor from the movie Dumb and Dumber. First though, before all of that of course, I pondered about three main points of Jim. The most recognizable is his acting career, but I wouldn’t talk about that the whole time. Another was his early life because countless of people don’t know he’s from Canada or how he grew up very poor and even homeless. After those two, I knew that he’s been doing some different inspirational talks and speeches. One certain inspirational type of tour he’s performing is named the “The Meaning”. I’ve seen some of his talks and videos on YouTube and they’re pretty interesting so I added that to the end of my speech. To wrap it all up, I decided to have a visual of a video of Jim Carrey doing an uproarious scene from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in 1994, which was his breakthrough

He makes the claim that if humanity does not relearn and rebuild what was once there then the will be stuck in the same old routine. By listening to his advice the audience starts to gain a sense of hope. Faulkner also uses pathos when he says he refuses to believe that humanity is doomed; he gives them a message of rehabilitation to endure and prevail. Not only is he giving hope but also he is using pathos to get the audience to move forward. Throughout the speech

Value and emotion are key parts to any speech and how they are delivered is what sells the speaker’s topic. Both Gates and Carrey understand this and use different techniques to create different emotion and value within the audience. Carrey’s speech mostly caused laughter and connectedness toward the audience, while Gates’ speech affected thought-provoking and sorrow from the graduates, as previously stated. The emotion of both speakers, although different, help reflect value from the graduates to their respective points, as different emotions will perceive different ideals and thoughts from the graduates. The point being that Carrey will create a warming tone as opposed to

Like in DIE HARD, the hero has a fear of heights and being out of control. He has to conquer these fears to save his wife and the others. Also, Jim might have an emotional goal of reuniting with his family and make sure he struggles with this. Give Jim a strong voice and pepper in a cynical or sarcastic voice with witty one-liners.
