The article Man Takes First Steps on the Moon seeks to inform the audience of the United States’ moon landing. However, it also attempts to aggrandize the event using various occurrences of pathos. For instance, the text uses terms such as “spectacular moment,” “good shape,” “ultra careful,” “dramatic descent,” “spectacular shot,” etc. in order to create a dramatic effect. The article would then explore what other countries thought about the landing, using the despondent Russia to demonstrate feelings of defeat. Little ethos was used, since the article wasn’t meant to persuade, but inform, and since the Times newspaper is considered to be quite trusted. Most of the logos was in the form of quotations, such as “Tranquility base. The Eagle has …show more content…
It however also strives to promote objectivism -- a philosophy that bases its values around individualism, freedom, and reason. The July 16,1969 Launch: A Symbol of Man’s Greatness primarily describes the awe-inspiring lift-off using pathos to create a dramatic atmosphere. This can be seen in phrases such as “shock of anxiety, as if this were a building on fire,” “two gigantic wings,” and “a pale cylinder with a blinding oval of white light at the bottom.” However, this commentary also strives to connect the blast-off to the idea of objectivism; “What we had seen...was the concretized abstraction of man’s greatness,” Rand claims. He also says that the “fundamental significance of Apollo 11’s triumph is not political; it is philosophical; specifically, moral-epistemological.” However, this statement is largely unsupported, as Rand uses pathos rather than logos to justify his belief. While this may be effective to audiences that are susceptible to pathos, logos should be bolstered logos. And since this commentary was to be put in a philosophy book, logos should be the primary concern. In general, this text is rather mediocre in achieving its
With all the newspapers talking about this, one that caught people’s eyes was the Man Takes First Steps on The Moon. The audience was the people who were concerned about the first man landing on outer space. This was something abnormal at the time and nobody really had a clue how a human body can manage this. Also, this event was used to see the improvement of human success and what they have been capable of doing. Regarding space, it wasn’t something that was really used, it was more like an illusion and seemed so close but far away at the same time. This text used ethos, and logos to support information about the moon’s successful landing and provide it for the audience. For logos, the fact that a well-known newspaper publisher such as the Times wrote about it shows that it is a reliable source. Also that fact that the story was well-written and full of facts to make the audience believe it more. With pathos, the kind of emotion, it was giving the audience was more about happiness and being proud of the US for their
The idea of pathos, logos, and ethos is used throughout all three of the passages it is used in how the first passage uses pathos when astronaut Armstrong expresses a meaningful quote hence using pathos. Then in the second passage, uses logos and pathos to describe if a disaster would have occurred but it did not break out. Finally, the political cartoon shows signs of all three of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos and now let's explain and see how each is used and how it improves, helps the text, and political cartoon.
Not only is Ethos and Pathos used effectively in the speech, Logos is as well. Though the use of Logos is used much more indirectly than either of the latter, it is still an important component of the speech. Adm. Mcraven uses Logos by providing support for his statements and lessons taught throughout the speech. For example, Adm. Mcraven explained how one individual could ultimately change the lives of eight-hundred million people by only changing the lives of ten in their lifetime. He supports this claim with mathematical reasoning and evidence, “Ask.Com says that the average American will meet 10,000 people in their lifetime. That's a lot of folks. But, if every one of you changed the lives of just 10 people — and each one of those folks changed the lives of another 10 people — just 10 — then in five generations — 125 years — the class of 2014 will have changed the lives of 800 million people.”
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” are words that astronaut, Neil Armstrong declared as people around the world attentively watched him take the first steps on the moon. That moment would be documented in history and talked about for years to come. The Apollo 11 mission had left many doubts to those watching the spectacle. Would Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin successfully set foot on the moon? Or was this launch a disaster waiting to happen? The following texts, In Event of Moon Disaster by President Nixon’s speechwriter, William Safire, and The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man’s Greatness by novelist, Ayn Rand, both express the possibility of a disaster as well as the relief and contentment for the men on
The first trip to the moon where mankind got to step foot in was a huge deal to the entire world. A total of four texts related to the 1996 Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the moon will be analyzed. The purpose, the interaction with SOAPS and ethos, logos and pathos will be defined. Between the four texts two are effective and the other two will be ineffective.
Logos, pathos, and ethos have been utilized in writing from history to current day writing and literature. The three elements are called modes of persuasion that are used to convince the audience. We will be evaluating how Jackson used logos, pathos, and ethos to make his writing more convincing and appealing to his audience. To begin with, we will be examining logos used in writing.
The Apollo 11 was the first mission to send men to the moon and have them take a step on another planetary body. The objective of this mission was to complete a national goal of a lunar landing set by President John F. Kennedy. People all around the world were anxiously waiting to see the mission fail or succeed; everyone had heard about it from newspapers to the television, and even going to see Apollo 11 launch in person. Two articles had been made to show the dangerous circumstances Armstrong and Aldrin would have faced outside of Earth in the unknown outer space. Another article shows the success of the two men sacrificing their lives to achieve something no man has ever done. “In Event of Moon Disaster” and “The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man’s Greatness” are two articles that have different purposes and how effective they have been, are affected by speaker, audience, and subject, and each article appeals to its own senses of logos, ethos, and pathos. The biggest benefit of Apollo was the inspiration it gave to a growing generation to get into science and aerospace-Buzz Aldrin.
Reagan’s use of ethos, logos, and pathos proves to those that were in some way affected by the Challenger Disaster that the United States cares and is there to support them. Ronald Reagan establishes his credibility and trustworthiness by proving that he is also going through the same struggles. He states, “I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen” (Reagan 5). He also assured that, “I’ve always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it” (Reagan 6). By doing this, he assures the audience that he, the president, is right there alongside with them. This lets the audience know that they are not alone in their mourning. President Reagan also uses pathos to evoke emotions of sorrow and reassurance.

Commissioner Davis made a motion to purchase a used Ingersoll Rand DD-35 Roller from Wall Excavation for $4,000.00. Commissioner Baily seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote of the Board.
In 1961, the United States of America was embroiled in the Cold War with the Soviet Union. This confrontation was taking place not only on land, sea and air, but in space as well. On May 25th, 1961 recently elected US President John F. Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress, during which he outlined his now famous Man on the Moon challenge. It was through this ambitious dream that the creation of the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) came about, which President Kennedy challenged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Although he didn't live to see the achievement of his dreams, the United States successfully landed Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the moon on July 20, 1969 and

Also, the azimuth was less than 180 degrees which gave an estimate at where it would be in the sky.

July 16th, 1969. It’s a peaceful morning at Cape Canaveral with pleasant temperatures and little wind. All is calm. Suddenly, a tremendous roar shatters the morning as the crew of Apollo 11 blast off toward the moon, riding the biggest rocket ever created. Burning 20 tons of explosive fuel a second, it propels Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins into history. The spacecraft lands four days later on the moon. Millions watched as men took the first steps on a strange place 238,900 miles away, or 9 and ½ times around the earth. After placing America’s flag among the lunar rocks, the Apollo 11 crew lit their engines and headed for the small blue sphere we call home, splashing down safely in the ocean and completing Kennedy’s
