In Neil Postman’s novel, Amusing Ourselves to Death, he argues that rationality in America has become dictated by television. Through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos, Postman demonstrates that his claim is valid and reliable. These are three forms of persuasion that are used to influence others to agree with a particular point of view. Ethos, or ethical appeal, is used to build an author’s image. Ethos establishes a sense of credibility and good character for the author (Henning). Pathos, or emotional appeal, involves engaging “an audience's sense of identity, their self-interest, their emotions” (Henning). If done correctly, the power of emotions can allow the reader to be swayed to agree with the author. Logos, or logical appeal,

As Meredith Grey, my fictional idol from Grey’s anatomy would say, “Progress looks like a bunch of failures”. A main focus of this semester was learning our audience, and convincing people of things through writing and or visuals using ethos pathos and or logos. I did not see the connections of any of my papers from the first to second semester at first. But my memoir from the first semester and my campaign project from this semester both use pathos, emotion. For me it was easiest to write about the pathos, but the ethos and logos part was out of my reach. I left some of my comfort writing the campaign paper using all 3 and it gave me a better understanding as a writer to keep in mind who am I talking to, what message am I trying to get across

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.

Beatty makes use of all three techniques to connect with her audience and share her own story as well as hard facts that verify the events.

Normally an author uses pathos to gain sympathy from readers by using emotions. The first example of pathos is when she made the statement “ If you are black and male and you do not play sports — well, good luck gaining admission to schools like UNC (Jackson).” In my opinion, this is a strong statement that is hard to read and makes me feel discouraged. The reason she said this was to show her point that they are extremely picky about who plays on these high revenue teams. These schools are only looking for the students who will bring in money for the school and that is why the author is trying to show that they get treated with priority. Another example of pathos is when she said “ Unlike college athletes who bring in revenue, non-revenue

The thesis of this narrative is that the narrator had been explaining how fortunate she had been to be able to work full time despite being partially disabled, and is trying to bring false hopes for herself so she wouldn’t be discouraged for who she really is.

Speaker, Occasion, Audience, Purpose, and Subject are 5 different interactions that is shown throughout literature. SOAPS is the acronym for these 5 interactions. Rhetoric is when you or someone were to be persuading a person with writing or speaking to them. Rhetoric is broken down into 3 different types of appeals which are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos means appeals to ethics-convincing someone with previous experience (Ex. Doctor), logos means appeals logic, and pathos is appeals to emotions. Both the rhetoric appeals and the 5 different interactions can be mixed into a form of writing. These 5 different interactions and the 3 different types of appeals can be found in variety of texts like the texts that had interactions with the moon landing in the late 1970s. Those of which are the printing press writing about the moon landing, a speech that was prepared by President Nixon if needed to be stated, a person stating his opinion of the rocket ship taking flight, and a drawing created to be a political cartoon.

The strengths I feel in my editorial essay is using logos as a strategy to persuade my audience why we should give food to those who need it. In the first two paragraphs, I started out with statistics. In the first paragraph, “165 billion pounds of food is wasted every year” in the United States is what the first sentence was. That was my hook.

In this image (figure 2) pathos is the main element that have been used in order to make the image more effective and successful. The emphasis of pathos in this image is in the color and the situation that every side has. The image shows a representation of unhealthy and healthy, contaminated and purity, ultimately life and death. When the audiences see the right side with all this healthy, purity and bright environment they will feel good and exultant because the colors make the psychological comfort. While when they see the other side with the unhealthy, contaminated trees with out leaves it makes them feel bad and scared from losing the environment.

Ethos, Logos, Pathos “Just like grownups, kids need different kinds of incentives to get through the day, some highbrow and some low, some short-term, some longer-term”-Roland Fryer, economics teacher at Harvard. A teacher at one of the best education institutions in the world believes that an incentive is necessary to motivate them. Young adults should be rewarded for good grades by money because they prefer it to other incentives, money can be used to purchase educational necessities, and it provides another positive to the stressful life of a teenager. Money should be given to good students because they prefer it when compared to other rewards. “If I was paid for good grades, I would work harder at school”- A survey participant who agreed

The very first word we read are “for a fact.” This is a clear illustration of logos. The writers are attempting to use logic and reason to substantiate a feeling of security. However, there is no data or clear facts present. They state “We’re proud to list [the ingredients] for your inspection…” yet

In Ralph Waldo Emerson’s’ twenty one page writing he incorporates ethos, pathos and logos in a unique way. In the essay there seemed to be no straight forward, tragic, emotional content. However, throughout the whole essay he does incorporate religious and vivid imagery, ultimately connecting to self-reliance. An example would be when Emerson wrote: “But the man in the street, finding no worth in himself which corresponds to the force which built a tower or sculptured a marble god, feels poor when he looks on these”. This writing is unique yet relatable to a young boy or individual feeling down on society. One very strong line of writing has to be when Emerson said “As our Religion, our Education, our Art look

Writers and speakers must be able to get the audience to listen to them and what they want to get across. The speaker uses three key types of reasoning: ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is the ethics or reputation a person has. This can be shown when the speaker uses their reputation to show the audience knows that there is something to back up their words and that they aren’t just talking to talk. Speakers also use it as a way to show that they live what they say and not just saying do as I say not as I do and this gives more credibility and makes people want to listen to the speaker more. The next key type of reasoning is pathos which is the emotional side of a story that a speaker will use. They will appeal to a person’s emotional side
