Pauley Perrette Rhetorical Analysis

The “Good Reason to go Vegetarian” ad that I chose from PETA US is the most recent in the popular line of ads featuring celebrities who are against animal abuse. PETA is the most recognized animal activist group and is known for their shocking campaigns that are used to protest against animal cruelty. This particular ad features Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins, who pursues interest in animal rights and the environment. Higgins is sharing the spotlight with a sweet little pig called Jake by proudly displaying him with a huge smile on her face.

Clinton uses ethos in her speech to persuade her audience by showing them your credibility. Ethos is an effective way to persuade an audience. This helps to show the audience that the speaker knows what they’re talking about. As First Lady and Senator, Clinton shows she has credibility on the topic by saying “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years. I’ve has the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my own country and around the world” (Clinton 2).

According to How Writing Works the definition of the term “ethos” is, “the credibility of the writer.” Ethos can work in two ways, you can possess it, or you can earn it. Nansook Park earned her PhD in psychology and is a psychology professor at the University of Michigan, so her work it’s a given that she has experience in the field. From reading the whole excerpt it seems as though the target audience is the everyday American citizen. Park’s tone is more relaxed and sympathetic, which makes her and her arguments more relatable.

Using sources like the one listed above helped increase her appeal to ethos. One detail that caught my attention was the fact that she didn’t have any personal examples to share with on the subject to appeal to ethos, only other people’s. This caught me off guard because the way she opened her piece sounded as if she were personally involved in the

Whether it is work, life experience, education, trusted sources, reputation, etc. One example of ethos in this documentary is the main man, Davis Guggenheim. Davis is the speaker of the film. He documented The First Year (1999) and studied the school systems. Although he went to a public school, his kids go to a private one. Another example of ethos that took place in this film is Geoffrey Canada, a 35 year educator from the Bronx. Geoffrey happened to study at Harvard, and started The Baby College. The Baby College allows following students from their birth to getting them through college. Bill Strickland is another education reformer, that resides in Pittsburgh. Bill went to a dropout factory (a high school with a very high number of dropouts). He claims that 68% of inmates in jail are high school

This article was published in Fortune Magazine, and seems to be aimed at a mostly general audience. It uses separate styles and tones to engage the reader. The article assumes a basic knowledge of some technology, but keeps its concepts at a level that most people can grasp.

Ethos when used appropriately in an argument, it allows the author to justify his actions. An example of this can be found when the author says “And I was overwhelmed/and frankly scared as hell/Because I really fell for you” and right as this line is sung, it shows the man together with the woman but then cuts away and shows that he left her and she wakes up alone. With the video and the lyrics, we know that he didn’t leave because he was not interested in her, but rather because he was overwhelmed with emotion and didn’t know what to do. This is an effective use of ethos because had we only seen the video we would think that he left her because she didn’t mean anything more to him than a one-time thing, but considering the lyrics that accompanied the scene we know that he in a way felt vulnerable at the thought of falling for someone so much so that he left because he didn’t know what else to

When I was in my training phase I recall you mentioning if anyone had any interest in a ride along with IMPD to contact you. If possible can I receive more information about this? If IMPD is unable to do a ride along at this time I would also be interested in doing a ride along with MCSO. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.

In another one of his essays he uses ethos to persuade his audience by his credibility. For example in his 10 paragraph he said, “A world food bank appeals powerfully to our humanitarian impulses. But before we rush ahead with such a plan, let us recognize where the greatest political push comes from, lest we be disillusioned later. Our experience with the "Food for Peace program," or Public Law 480, gives us the answer. This program moved billions of dollars worth of U.S. surplus grain to food-short, population-long countries during the past two decades. But when P.L. 480 first became law, a headline in the business magazine Forbes revealed the real power behind it: "Feeding the

An example of Ethos is when Antony says “He was my friend, faithful and just to me.( 2, 3, 212)” By saying this Antony was providing the crowd with the idea that Caesar was a good friend to him. He is showing his admiration of his friend Caesar in hopes that the crowd will adore him as well.

“Whether it’s an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago -- these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children.” The United States was in shock and sorrow. President Obama spoke about the tragic Sandy Hook school shooting. He called his speech, “Hearts Are Broken.” He used ethos, logos, pathos, and other rhetorical devices such as idiom, allusion, and diction in his speech.

Ethos is used by Leruste in the way he displays his education and work history. By not only telling the viewer that he has worked for AFA Press Group, but also providing proof through the pictures of the people he met, and newspaper clippings of articles he wrote, Leruste shows that what he is saying is true. It is appropriate to provide evidence this way as it creates a trust between the viewer and Leruste. Leruste also uses ethos just by having his CV in video form. The viewer can see him and can tell that he is enthusiastic about applying for the position, it would be harder for this to be seen on paper. Another example of how ethos is used is when Leruste transitions from talking about his interests to why he should be hired. One second he is goofing off having a good time and then the next he is dressed more professionally in a more professional environment. Everything about him changes yet it is still obvious that in both shots he is being himself. He is able to carry over his persona through the shots, and by extension in day to day life. By using ethos Leruste is able to prove that he can be trusted, both professionally and as a

There was one agent who didn’t play a big part helping the team and that was NCIS Special Agent Alexandra “Alex” Quinn. Focusing on her mother, Marie Quinn, viewers watched as the agent needed to address her mother’s forgetfulness. The personal look into Quinn’s life showcased how this agent dealt with a difficult situation. No doubt this situation will continue in future

Aubrey Howell is on the service desk. The only thing I can think of is he is a new member on the service desk in this situation if he verbally said he is not sure who the on call EAD coordinators. In service desk WF documentation after hours assign incident to Medstar-MSH-EAD. I will give Troy the opportunity to add.

Vox has an effective use of ethos by using someone who is both a credible source and a celebrity in Barack Obama. For example, Obama states that “Each time we see one of these mass shootings, our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It’s not enough.” This is an example of ethos because, as a credible source, people are inclined to listen to Obama and what he has to say. His words are persuasive because he is telling everyone that we can’t only keep sending positive thoughts and prayers but, that we need to strive to make a safer country by making stricter gun regulations.
