Cars play a major role in almost every action movie, rivaling the star power of the actors themselves. Whether it be a high speed chase or an intense race, the actor’s choice of car is usually an Audi, BMW, or Ferrari. These scenes showcase the car’s speed, sleek design and fancy features, allowing the viewer to imagine themselves in the vehicle.

Suzuki did not demonstrate very well the use of the mode logos, logical argument, throughout her speech. Aristotle describes logos as the techniques that have the power to persuade. The speaker used a diagram of the brain to show where specific areas on the brain are located so that the audience could understand the terms better.
