How many times have you dropped those swimming classes? When was last time you put off in getting that enrollment for the gym? “Unlimited” ads campaign by Nike, appeals to its audience by showing people who even having certain difficulties, go after what they want and push their limits as much as they can, which is not a little. The ads feature a grown Sister competing in a triathlon, a transgender who runs with the National men’s team and a climber with no extremities. Nike didn’t choose these actors for its ads by accident, they are source of inspiration for all those athletes that always put the best of themselves in whichever the activity that passionate them is. People who would be the main target for this campaign.

During the time Florence Kelley was advocating for changes, child labor was a popular unrestricted practice. The kids were working making textiles and other items in horrible working conditions. Many states had children working more than 12 hours a day and night shifts while they were not allowed to go to school. Florence Kelley was a United States social worker and a reformer. She fought ferociously for improvements in child labor and conditions for working women. At this convention for the National American Woman Suffrage Association she wants to reach out the women focused on suffrage towards other issues. Kelley used rhetorical strategies to help convince her audience to help her fight against child labor. The use of repetition, imagery, and rhetorical question help get her point of eradicating child labor across to the audience.

In the middle of the speech, Florence Kelley states the situation regarding the legality of child labor in many states, using firm facts, doleful repetition, and ironic diction to arouse within the audience a sympathetic response to want the children removed from their harmful situations along with the logical response of wanting to repeal the laws associated with allowing children in damaging manufacturing industries. Kelley employs several examples of different laws in different states allowing children to work long hours at young ages. One example given describes even the lack of restrictions on child labor whatsoever. “In Georgia there is no restriction whatever! A girl of six or seven years…may work eleven hours by day or by night.” Utilizing

Stewart begins his top news segment by acknowledging the violence occurring in Baltimore, Maryland and how defectively it was handled. He appeals to logos, pathos and ethos throughout the entire episode, attempting to persuade the audience of Baltimore’s mayor’s bad timing and inconsiderate decisions. He pulls all rhetorical elements together conveying a

“We can leave the mountain anytime we want but those with ALS are prisoners in their own body”-Alex Williams.

In Florence Kelley’s speech delivered to the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1905, the author employs empathetic repetition, strong facts, and piteous diction to inspire as many people as possible to work against child labor.

Liberal leaning New York Times (NYT) columnist Charles M. Blow, in his op-ed, "No, Trump, We Can’t Just Get Along", recounts Trumps tirade of controversial, racist and bigoted proclamations which dominated the 2016 presidential campaign season. His column ranked 21 out of 100 of NYT’s most-read articles in 2016 (New York Times). Blow's purpose is to give his mostly liberal audience permission to reject President-elect Trump’s dismissive attitude about his record and additionally, to convey that message of rejection to his colleagues in the media who appear complacent about holding Trump accountable. He adopts an angry chastising tone to establish himself as an authority and to appeal to similar feelings of his readers.

Additionally, King builds his credibility with the utilization of ethos in his text in order to convince them of his argument. By appealing to the readers’ ethics, they can see how trustworthy King’s words are and then can let themselves be persuaded by his matter-of fact tone and professionalism in writing. King is a realist, which means that he almost always represents things as they really are, which profoundly helps establish his honest persona. Most of Stephen King’s writing represents more than one tenet, as his stories that he tells about his childhood and road to recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism can be seen as not only pathos, but and etho as well, as these stories help the readers to understand what kind of person he is, and how he accomplished all of his success despite a couple of major roadblocks. This is why it can be seen that King uses pathos most heavily in his writing, by telling vivid stories, etc. in order to touch upon human emotion towards human experiences/traits, while also creating a strong voice in his writing as well. The overlapping of these appeals help support the ethics and sensibility of King’s work. There are scores of times where it can be clearly identified where ethos have been used in his writing. For example, King says “I’m a slow reader, but i usually get through seventy or eighty books a year, mostly fiction. I don't read in order to study the craft; i read because i like to read.- Similarly, I don't read to study the art of fiction, but simply because I like stories-Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones” (King, pg 145) This helps to support the idea that writing is learned through reading, and also is learned through the mistakes of other writers. There is no better way to learn than to look at a piece of writing that has some minor or even major flaws and to analyze the piece to see what the issue is, and learn from their mistake to better your own writing in the future. Another one of King’s main arguments is that no writer is perfect. There are always things that you can do to make your writing even better, no matter how small the adjustment may be. It’s a learning process

Florence Kelley, an active social worker and reformer of the 20th century, rants over the horrendous working conditions kids must endure. She presents this in her speech before National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia, which provides context and credibility for her argument. Kelley argues clearly of the terrible conditions and work hours kids suffer to bring about her message of, “enlisting the workingmen voters.” This is essentially to free the kids from the disastrous issue through her usage of credibility, empathetic tone to strike the audience, and her usage of examples of their conditions and state rules to support her message and purpose.

Chapman uses pathos to appeal to the readers’ fear of uncertainty in the future in order to make them aware that not enough is being done to benefit the next generation. By drawing attention to the readers’ feelings, Chapman is able to make the readers more aware of their views and enables them to create opinions on his writings and as a result, causes them to

Sterling Brown’s poem, “Southern Cop” is a multi-dimensional poem. On the surface, the reader will take away that the cop should be forgiven for shooting the “Negro”. Additionally, there is an ironic undertone that asks the reader to think, should we really forgive Ty Kendricks for the needless murder? The poem then empathizes with Ty Kendricks through comments on his need to prove himself a true cop. Sterling Brown’s “Southern Cop” raises to question the implication of police violence through sympathizing with the cop, questioning police brutality through irony, and empathizing with the youth of the cop to ultimately proclaim that police violence is a heinous crime committed against blacks. It is important to note that at no point in the poem is Ty Kendricks identified as white, but his identity is assumed and shaped throughout the poem.

On July 22, 1905, Florence Kelley, a United States social worker and reformer, delivered a speech before the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Disgusted by the sweatshop conditions children had to endure, Kelley worked diligently to pull for child labor laws. Her brilliant rhetorical approach is to stop the unjust treatment of children through the enfranchisement of women. To convince the members of the convention, Kelley implements repetition and vivid imagery to persuade the mothers and the teachers in the crowd to urge the working men to help aid their cause.

One community that stands out the most for the conflict between law enforcement and their community is Ferguson, Missouri. On August 9, 2014 Darren Wilson, 28, a white Ferguson police officer fatally shot Michael Brown, an 18-year-old African-American male (McLaughlin). This case started one of the biggest uproar the nation has ever seen between community and law enforcement. When the incident first occurred there were many pieces of information missing to paint a scenario of how and what occurred between Brown and officer Wilson. Apparently Michael Brown was walking home late at night when officer Darren Wilson and Michael Brown got into a confrontation that lead to Wilson shooting Brown, the case goes

In February of 2013, Christopher Dorner, an ex-Los Angeles police officer, committed a series of shootings, whose victims were members of law enforcement and their friends and family. Dorner felt that he had been unfairly fired by the LAPD after falsely reporting that his partner had kicked a mentally ill man while he was being handcuffed and vowed to “bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty” in his manifesto he wrote, which detailed who he planned to kill and why. In the wake of these horrific attacks on police officers and their families, many articles came out, discussing Dorner’s background and interviewing people he knew. Through the depictions of Dorner displayed in the news articles and the content of his manifesto, the reader comes to understand different aspects of Dorner’s personality and his obsession with his reputation.

I will be providing information from three articles. The three articles I have chosen are about the shooter of the Las Vegas shooting on the country music festival that happened on the night of  October 1, 2017. From what we have been told by the media, the shooting that happened during the concert was from the Mandalay Bay Hotel window just across the street from the concert. The aftereffects of the concert left about 500 people injured and almost 60 people killed, which includes himself. The shooting has affected everyone in the United States because almost everyone is scared that it was a terrorist attack and that there will be more closer to their homes. Some people think the shooter was working alone and some people, such as the people that were attending, say that there was more than just the shooter from the hotel. I will examine and analyze how the three authors have written about the Las Vegas shooting. I will examine each author’s credibility, the evidence that the author uses, and logical and/or emotional points of the story. My essay will also include assessments on the potential biases from the the Media Bias Fact Check site for the three article I have found.
