Rhetorical Triangle Ethos Pathos And Logos

Rhetorical appeal is intended to persuade individuals to think a certain way, conduct themselves in a certain manner, or the purchase particular products. Unlike speech in which an individual relies on their persona and content of speech to get their point across to an audience or consumer, advertisements use images to enhance the impact and appeal of logos, ethos, and pathos.

For my Rhetorical Analysis I choose to use an advertisement that uses Ethos and Pathos to influence the intended audience. Ethos persuades audiences through celebrity endorsement. They find very intriguing celebrities that they think the particular audience would enjoy seeing. Pathos uses emotion to grab the viewers' attention. With this advertisement they use humor. In an advertisement like this, combining a funny sketch and beloved actors I'm sure Snickers received a great outcome.

On May 12, 1962, General Douglas MacArthur addressed the cadets at the West Point Military Academy in his speech Duty, Honor, Country, during the reception for the Sylvanus Thayer Award. This award is given to an “…outstanding citizen of the United States whose service and accomplishments in the national interest exemplify personal devotion to the ideals expressed in the West Point motto, duty, honor, country.” As the one receiving this prestigious award, General MacArthur truly exemplified these values as he had acquired the rank of General of the Armed Forces while serving in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. Within the speech Duty, Honor, Country, MacArthur utilizes logos, pathos, and ethos in order to appeal to the cadets

In class, we have discussed rhetoric, discourse communities, and the importance of properly conveying a point. While my professor, Mr. Larry D. Huff, does not seem to believe in the “rhetorical triangle,” we have had successful discussions on the ways we can prove a point using ethos, pathos, and logos. I successfully joined a discourse community and learned its respective ethos, pathos and logos. My sophomore year of high school, I auditioned and was accepted to the theatre department of The High School for Performing and Visual Arts and joined a discourse community which changed my life. The bumper sticker stretches across the entire back window of my car. Regardless, I am proud to have it for what it represents. This essay will explain the importance behind my sticker.

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. Ethos is considered to be the, “credibility,” of the author. Pathos is the idea of, “emotional appeal,” to the audience. 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.

The three approach types are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is when you have chosen your approach which is the tone of the paper. Pathos is when you have your emotional appeal for your paper. This to me is the most important part of the paper. Logo is your source or logic providing evidence of your rebuttal.

Ethos, pathos, and logos are all devices that Barbara Ehrenreich effectively uses throughout her novel Nickel and Dimed to prove that America needs to address the commonly overlooked issue of poverty within every community. It is important that she uses all three devices because they help support her argument by increasing her credibility, connecting to the readers’ emotions, and appealing to their sense of logic. The combination of these devices puts a sense of urgency on the problem Ehrenreich is addressing and therefore creates an effective argument.

The persuasive technique of logos relates to logic and reasoning. Logical appeal is to convince an audience by using facts and statistics to reinforce your credibility: facts and statistics can often also be used to support the assumptions you make. In law, logos are developed with evidence and facts to support a claim, and to underpin your reasoning and your conclusions. Logos refers to the author’s appeal to persuade by reason. A great example of a logos, is the famous speech “Ain’t I A Woman? – Sojourner Truth”. This speech was given in1851 to the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio. Sojourner Truth believed in women equality. She wanted women and men to have equal rights and treatment. She used logos, as she stated that "[she] could work

Today I am here to take about Ethos, pathos, and Logos and how my discourse community influenced my use of these devices to join other communities. If you do not know what a discourse community is, then it is a group of people who share knowledge of a particular topic, similar backgrounds and experiences etc. my discourse community was High school broadcasting which for most students they would never join because it is a very tech-savvy class. At our school the announcements were not done by an administrator, we had video feed to every classroom in which the broadcasting class would do the news and create humorous shorts to inform and entertain anyone who was watching .Our job as a class was to inform students on a day to day basis,

In this essay, I will closely examine the role of ethos, pathos, and logos as they were utilized in the 1992 Presidential Debate video clip. Throughout Clinton and Bush’s debates, they used the three options of persuasion effectively and discretely; however, it is evident that out of the three ways of persuasion, the candidates used ‘pathos’ because of the content they were providing. It was apparent that Bill Clinton was more prepared to display forms of persuasion than George H.W. Bush was because Clinton had prior experience dealing with lower income people. In the upcoming paragraphs, I will explain and analyze how each candidate made use of the three forms of persuasion: logos, pathos, and ethos.

Marlon Brando was a large Hollywood star during the 1950’s, but during 1965 Brando was seen as challenging and uncooperative while shooting Morituri, which negatively impacted his stardom. The 1966 documentary, “Meet Marlon Brando,” is comprised of multiple interviews taking place in a New York hotel, with Brando about his new movie coming out, Morituri. In this short film, the Maysles Brothers want to shift the public’s view from Marlon Brando being a man who is challenging and uncooperative, to someone who is intelligent, charming, and light-hearted. In this film, the Maysles Brothers use the rhetorical appeals of pathos, logos, and ethos, as well as including fallacies such as exclusion, appealing to the crowd, and red herring.

Many writers use several diverse ways to persuade readers into believing them. Some writers may tell a story, provide facts and information, or other ideas to encourage his or her reader to agree with the argument. Aristotle’s rhetorical triangle describes three diverse appeals: logos, pathos, and ethos. Logos is based on facts and reasons explaining logical arguments that rely on information and evidence. Logos is built with enough evidence, data, statistics, and reliable information. Another type of appeal is pathos, which attracts the reader’s emotions and feelings into the work. Many writers who use pathos tend to write about their personal experience and by diction and tone. In addition to logos and pathos, ethos corresponds with

Bernard Roth is a knowledgeable and widely respected academic who wrote The Achievement Habit: Stop Wishing, Start Doing, and Take Command of Your Life. It is a self-help book written to motivate people to become the designer of their own lives. Ethos, pathos, and logos were all utilized as a part of Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle by Bernard Roth in his book; specifically, in chapter one when he tells how nothing is as people consider it is.

The Rhetorical Triangle or also called Rhetorical Appeal originated from a ancient Greek philosopher and a rhetorician Aristotle. The Rhetorical Triangle is a triangle with three points that can help you understand a writing better and persuade the audience as well as help break down a writing to better understand. The three points of the Rhetorical triangle are Text, Rhetor and Audience.

According to him (The Art of Rhetoric) Rhetoric deals with situations and circumstances with concrete background. Winetrowd says that Rhetoric impinges on all areas of human concern and it plays a large part in every method of learning and teaching as well. In his book Rhetoric, Aristotle expressed that Rhetoric is a tool of knowledge which can be applicable to any subject, from any universality of its basics to organized concepts. He recommended three important appeals of persuasion in the application of Rhetoric. In this present paper, I would like to throw some light on these three appeals of persuasion i.e. Logos (Logical appeal), Pathos (Emotions of the audience) & Ethos (Character of the speaker). Though each of these three appeals are separate , but can be combined judiciously to elicit maximum response from the
