If so, what were they? How did they affect the speaker’s ethos? Once in awhile, she would overuse her hand signals and movement or repeatedly start with so.

In her article “No Need to Call” Sherry Turkle says even though she uses technology to text her daughter and to communicate with other people she still thinks it's getting out of control. She opens the article by telling a story on Elaine, a 17 year old, who attends Roosevelt high school, who says that people hate talking on the phone. Sherry Turkle teaches in the program in science, technology, and society at MIT. She believes that Society will have reached a point to where phone calls are fearful. She explains that people are fearsome for calls because calls take all their attention and that no one has that much time. Turkle gives us an example by telling us a story of Tara, a 55 year old lawyer, who doesn't has time to call her friends so

I found in the play “Leaving Home” that I could find the use of pathos in various spots. I noticed the definition “an expression or utterance that evokes sadness or sympathy, esp. in a work of literature; a description, passage, or scene of this nature” more than the others. In this text, I could really see the use of pathos being used by the emotionally-loaded language, the emotional examples, the figurative language, and the emotional tone. The actors had a lot going on in just the short time of the play.
With the analysis of rhetorical strategies underway, I would like to discuss the presence of pathos in the speech. Sanger was a very passionate writer, and this allowed her to be absorbed into the paper. I noticed that, in Sanger’s speech, there were many emotionally loaded words. For example:

The speaker Emma Gonzalez is persuasive about her speech ‘We call BS’ a student at the Parkland, Florida high school, calls out President Trump and the NRA by name at an anti-gun rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Gonzalez always showed her logos and ethos by stating that she carried notes from her AP class with her which shows she prepared and she knows what she’s doing.

Surrounding the first portion of, “Our Cell Phone, Our Selves”, the author wrote about the early 1980s and the cell phone beginning, but I believe 1990s to the most important time frame.

The reader can conclude that technology was in full throttle, changing the cell phone from this large ugly brick, to something
Knowing this, she takes her experience and uses it to write this piece and uses it to spread her message and her feelings toward the topic.
She states many of her opinions on how the press should stop telling and spreading false events and ideas in the newspaper. When given the chance she tells her audience journalist about how the American press about her feels and how she feels challenged by them.

They can appear as testimonials, personal anecdotes/connections, and appeals from the heart, powerful words or phrases, and figurative language/imagery. Spriggs uses many personal anecdotes and quotes from various people. The biggest and main one, in my opinion is the story pertaining to her own experience with a local farmer- Mr. Lermio. She goes on and explains in great detail about how she would “See him sitting on her porch every morning at dusk wearing his blue striped overalls and dirty white t-shirt, telling my parent about how everything has changed since he was a kid.” (Spriggs 93-94) This is a great example of pathos because it evokes a personal type of emotion, in that many people could relate to since it appears so early in the essay, it sets a precedent for the rest of the

Pathos: Adichie’s also displays strongly her emotions as she shares multiple stories with her audience like the story of the helper who was a little boy with a very poor family and had nothing. She also utilizes humor to make her point on the essence of stereotyping by telling the story of her room-mate who felt pity for her before even seeing her, just because she was African. Since the speech is mostly a narration from her life, Adichie includes emotions as she talks so that the audience gets to feel what she feels.
