Rhetorical Devices In Don T Blame The Eater

The personal experience Zinczenko's includes in his text many people can relate who have been or are going through a similar situation. At this stage we can view imagery in the text as the reader I can picture a young boy being lazy,laying in bed which is perhaps gaining weight constantly and many dangerous diseases on the long run. The author is a very smart intiligual writer that acquires the reader to have trust in him by sharing his experience and how he overcame his struggles and why he believes fast food restaurants are the main reason the nation youth suffers from over weight and diabetes.

The average American citizen has a higher risk of dying from heart disease than from a gunshot, all because of one thing. Fast food swept the nation after its first known creation in 1921, bringing a whole new era of food that would make The United States one of the most unhealthy nations in the world. “Killer Fries” by Greg Slater was created for the American Heart Association to show the effects that fast food has on the heart of an individual. Slater creates a sense of unease by portraying the familiar object to the fast food eaters of America and exaggerates the effects of what it can do to a person with vibrant shining colors and a startling image that appeals to its viewers.

Joey Franklin makes masterful use of rhetoric in his essay “Working at Wendy’s” to construct an entertaining and compelling argument in favor of recognizing that the workers of the service industry are more than just undistinguished drones, but rather complicated people, each with their own desires and stories. To this end, the author utilizes the effective rhetoric device of pathos, logos, and ethos. Franklin demonstrates an excellent use of imagery that serves as a conduit for empathy, which is vital for the use of pathos, the emotional appeal. In reference to logos, the appeal to logic, he paints the picture of a hard-working father that needs to provide for his family. This is a clear representation of common logic and ties into ethos, which is the rhetorical appeal to authority and ethics, in the sense that many people can relate to caring about and working to support family. For ethos, he establishes himself as your everyday working man — part of the working class. This shows that he’s clearly apt for speaking of the position he’s in, and allows the audience to relate to him through pathos.

There are many ways to convey a message to readers. Often times authors, speech writers, etc., refer to Aristotle’s three main concepts of rhetoric, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.

Finally, Logos is the translated as the, “logic,” involved when making a point. All forms of rhetoric have at least one of these concepts, while good arguments incorporate a well balanced mixture of the three.

Assuming Names, by Tanya Thompson, was a mere sneak peek into the past of a young girl who fooled the FBI, Interpol, DEA, and numerous other federal offices. She has an innate hunger for adventure and will do anything to free herself of the curse of boredom. Tanya was also born with ability to charm people into believing her deep twisted lies. Throughout her account, Thompson is able to lure the reader into her life full of lies by using an ample amount of intricate diction, syntax, and other rhetorical strategies. The purpose of her book was to inform her audience, young adults, of what occurred during those many years, how she handled situations, and what emotions she felt.

Zinczenko’s rhetorical comments on the fast food industry are spaced throughout his piece. Zinczenko also states that alternative options are hard to find when fast food is readily available. “Drive down any thoroughfare in America, and I guarantee you’ll see one of our country’s more than 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants. Now, drive back up the block and try to find someplace to buy a grapefruit” (Zinczenko 463). This strong statement proves Zinczenko’s irritated tone throughout his piece. Zinczenko’s stand that the fast food industry is responsible for obesity.

Throughout the factual novel, Food Inc. by Karl B. Wiber, the author uses many different ways to show rhetorical strategies.

Due to a successful implementation of the rhetorical appeals logos and ethos and the usage of appropriate language, Molly Worthen’s article is more effective than Lisa Wade’s article. The usage of logos greatly supports Worthen’s claim because it clarifies the significance of her argument by providing credible statistics while Wade provides an uncited source to which she proceeds to harshly charge the audience.

Utilizing appropriate language worthy of academic standards positively impacts the effectiveness of Worthen’s article as it accurately depicts the author’s

There are three parts of rhetorical appeal persuasion: Ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos or an ethical appeal. This is the audience’s perspective on what the author is writing and to decide how credible it is. Who the author is and if they are credible.

In this chapter, Heinrichs talks about three major tools of rhetoric that could help with persuasion. Many tough arguments can be easily won with one or all of these tools. Logos is used when a person is using his intelligence to win an argument. This can be useful when persuading a child that too much television is bad. Pathos is used when someone is using his/her emotions to persuade someone. It can be helpful when trying to make someone happy by sympathizing with their sadness.

The video “How to Identify Ethos, Logos and Pathos” by Shmoop was a short, but concise video which explained the meaning of Ethos, Pathos and Logos. I believe, to know and understand what Ethos, Logos and Pathos is important to be a persuading writer. I have never heard that Ethos, Logos and Pathos are rhetorical devices so with this information I was sort of confused and I had to look up if those are really rhetorical devices. Furthermore, when they start talking and explaining about Ethos (1:20min), pathos and Logos, I think the simply, funny explanation, including the examples used in the video were good and easy to understand. Overall and in conclusion, the short video review covers in my opinion in a funny way the main information’s, which simplified the given information’s.

The rhetorical strategies of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are used in the media every day to persuade society. Whether it be for sales, politics, or everyday news, these three styles of persuasion influence how people are affected by the media. Pathos targets an emotional response. This causes viewers to accept or reject a claim or idea based on how it makes them feel. This is a very effective form of persuasion, however it can be incredibly manipulative.

The language of rhetoric is the art to persuade an audience. Writers and speakers often use rhetoric appeals. Rhetoric uses four different approaches to capture its audience’s attention: pathos, logos, ethos and kairos. Pathos based its appeal on provoking strong emotion from an audience. Ethos builds its appeal based on good moral character of the writer or speaker and relies on good sense and good will to influence its audience. Logos persuades its audience through the use of deductive and inductive reasoning. The kairos approach requires a combination of creating and recognizing the right time and right place for making the argument in the first place. All of these appeals are important tools, and can be used together or apart to persuade an audience.

On my way to study for a class assignment I came across a speech being conducted in front of the FAU Theater. The speech was a debate between two students and the topic of discussion question the use of the federal pell grants on incarcerated inmates. When I was listening to the debate, I thought about Aristotle’s Rhetorical Proofs. The two debaters of the speeches were Brandon and Jared. When I heard Brandon and Jared speaking on their topics, their use of Aristotle’s Rhetorical Proofs was obvious when stating their opposing arguments.
