Emotional appeal is what draws an audience in, allowing the author to persuade them in agreeing with the argument. Pathos is the most powerful of the appeals, with an author being able to win their audience over completely through emotional effect. For example, Alexis Madrigal utilizes emotional appeal quite effectively in his article “Take the Data Out of Dating” where he explores the dangerous influence online dating sites have the privacy and matchmaking of the public. He first mentions the invasion of privacy by online dating companies as he states, “Date-mining software needs lots of tuning to create good matches, so the services track everything would-be lovebirds do”(424). This fact can provoke discomfort with an audience, giving them a reason to agree with the author. Then he explores the dangerous power of OkCupid’s matchmaking techniques as he states, “What if the dating sites had existed in the 1950s? How would they have dealt with interracial matches”(425). By using the what if technique to have the audience picture his perspective Mr.Madrigal excellently draws in the audience to create an awareness of the online dating site dangers to his

Society today is quick to judge and state what is wrong and what is acceptable by the public. While some differences between Spelling Matters and Use Your Own Words are obvious, the similarities are relevant. Anne Trubek says that perhaps it is time to change or alter grammar rules to match the current generation and culture. We should advance our guidelines about what is proper and improper along with what is happening right now with the language. While Mikita Brottman says, “bad spelling can be a godsend—a way of weeding out those who are thoughtless and inattentive to detail” (p. 219).

The effective rhetorician uses pathos to evoke emotions from the audience. The object then is telic. Through pathos, the rhetor compels the audience to react—or respond—in a particular fashion that is based on feeling and sentiment. Taking the election results as a referent, author Gail Collins becomes the agent who uses her article—Always Look on the Bright Side Finding Good News in the Election Results—as commentary to direct “the audience’s emotional engagement” toward a satirical sense of comfort and relief in spite of the election results (Hauser, 2002, p. 168).

The tone of a document determines how the reader interprets the information given. If a piece of writing has a serious tone, the reader is more likely to take the subject more seriously than he would with a lighthearted tone. The same goes for seminal documents and editorials. The court’s opinion for the “Texas v. Johnson” case by Justice William Brennan and the newspaper editorial “American Flag Stands for Tolerance” by Ronald Allen create two different tones to prove their opinions on flag burning.

It’s been a great three years of being mentored by you in speech, debate, and finally, AP English Language and Composition. Through those three years of rigorous public speaking and academically challenging work, I can say with sincerity that I am a different person. Now, I know tenfold of what I knew before of high fructose corn syrup, trigger locks, and IRCA. It’s been an unequivocal honor to have met someone with such an intellectual arsenal as you and I have to wonder if I’ll ever meet anyone as knowledgeable even in college. You fended off every single argument that either the Debate Team or the 14 member fifth period AP English coalition threw at you with such ease and class. Wherever you decide to go next, I have no doubt in my mind that you will have the same scintillating impact you had on Suffern High School. Be sure to hoist that Tampa Bay Rays banner proudly for all those poseur Yankee fans to see!

It is important to identify what type of emotion is evoked by a speaker’s pathos. Anger and love are vastly different emotions that would produce dissimilar reactions within the audience. I think it is important to detect the specific emotions evoked by Pathos, as properly labeling those emotions is an important aspect of identifying the speaker’s purpose (Lunsford et al. 96).

Images have moods, or what they evoke from the viewer, that are often necessary to how text is interpreted. When text is written, it loses the verbal aspect and can often be left with an ambiguous mood. Images and illustrations that accompany text are able to reflect the mood of the text for the reader. Nodelman states, “the specific meaning depends not on the words themselves but on the tone of voice in which they are spoken. The mood of a picture is like the tone of a text. It's an overall quality that affects the meaning and the attitude viewers take toward it (Nodelman ch. 12). Pictures can be sad, happy, humorous, or serious and it is often easy to determine based upon the colors used and the style of drawing. The mood can also be used to show contrast between to images or ideas.

After seeing the video Royals Fans Come to Rescue, the watcher is left with a much larger lasting emotional impact than Staff Rescues Puppy Left in Hot Car at Stadium because of the immense use of pathos. The level of emotional appeal were vastly different, one being much greater than the other. In Royals Fans Come to Rescue, the news reporter uses loaded words in many of their phrases to convey emotion. They use the phrase, “Eight-week old puppy trapped in a car, with the windows barely cracked.” In just this one sentence, we can analyze the choice of words that make this news report much more compelling than the other. It uses the young age of the puppy to make the watcher feel remorse, the word “trapped” to make the car seem like a prison,

In my second block Accelerated English class, I believe that I deserve at least a B based on my behavior, attendance, and participation. I would like to have faith in the idea that my behavior is pleasing and acceptable. For example, I have never gotten a referral both in English class and in school in general. Although I shout out sometimes, I try my best to not let this happen. I have to admit that my attendance isn't the finest, however I attempt to only miss school if I am sick, and if I am sick and/or absent, I make up my work as quick as I can. Finally, I conclude that my participation is superb. I always complete my work and I strive to do everything I can to secure an excellent grade in English. Therefore, based on my behavior, attendance, and participation in English class, I deserve at least a B.

{OSS: Discuss how to document symptoms in journals with good descriptions of time/date, duration, intensity, and quality. Give good positive and negative examples. Be careful to avoid having an overwhelming number of symptoms and confusing day-to-day issues like a minor headache of muscle pain after jogging 5 miles as a symptom. Discuss “pain on a scale of one to ten” line here. When one goes to the doctor, they often get asked “are you in any pain.” If the answer is “yes” then they are asked to rate it on a scale of 1 – 10 where 10 is the worst pain you have ever felt. Discuss how to rate the pain as objectively as possible, without underestimating it, or overestimating it. Do

Based on my observations of the assessments, K.M lacks proper fluency and comprehension skills. In addition, based upon her continuous pausing while reading, I can indicate there is a speech area of concern. K.M. battles with making the accurate connections needed to produce reading comprehension. She often appears lost and completely off topic. Although K.M. displays vocabulary understanding, there is a misinterpretation of linking the vocabulary meaning to the actually passage/text being read aloud. Furthermore, K.M. when uncertain about an answer tends to guess a whole heap. The fluency levels show a slight growth, however it is not a huge jump. K.M. assessment indicates she is reading below grade level (2nd grade) and needs intervention
