Felicia Persaud, Chief Marketing Director of Hard Beat Communications Inc. wrote her take on the issue, and according to her, El Chapo a sound example of why Trump’s “Great Wall” is destined to fail
In this essay, I will cover some common errors in reasoning that can cause your argument to be undermined, also known as fallacies, in different types of media, such as commercials, videos, articles, and political speeches. I will also go over the different modes of persuasion that can be used to elicit a specific response out of an audience. These are known as ethos, pathos, and logos. One article about gun control uses pathos when it states "A month after the slaughter of 20 children and seven
States, Donald Trump spoke to the UN in a short speech. Donald Trump used many different tactics to try to seem genuine in hopes that members of the UN trust his decisions. Many other nations were there and heard his formal speech and tried to understand how he handles issues like Iran and North Korea. During this very important speech, President Trump attempts to show how dominant he is and how great of a person he believes he is. He fills the first few paragraphs with a mixture of pathos (“Mr. Secretary

years ago and this year Donald Trump presented his speech. Each speech is expressed in their own style showing how the president is. For instance, Barack Obama uses numerous rhetorical devices, logic with emotions to perform a reassuring positive speech. In contrast to Donald Trump who lacked rhetorical devices but uses emotions to create a powerful straightforward speech. Both speeches revealed similar ideas yet were illustrated in very different ways. One way the essay differed is by the use of the
As I scroll through various column pages, I was exhausted from seeing the grinning tanned face of a man, namely Donald Trump. Opinions of this man and the U.S. elections blasted throughout the media. I was tired of it. Luckily, I found Arthur C. Brooks - who did write a few articles about the elections, but I forgave him since he didn't write so many compared to other writers. The three articles that I have read are, "Narcissism is Increasing. So You're Not So Special," "Nice People Really Do Have
Appeal to pathos: appeal to emotion, an appeal to feelings rather than to strict reason. Ex. 1 “You need to listen to your doctor.

less bigoted, and more understanding to other people’s problems. He mainly states this through a pathos filled journey of “you think you aren't a bigot”, leading on through meritocratic fallacy, and who could forget the classic, “so you don't think that was racist”. He offers little logos examples but a good placeholder to that would be his arguments through common sense. Some main arguments of this essay are flawed, but the overarching message is seemingly positive, and agreeable. The author kicks
