Logos, ethos, and pathos are essential components used in advertising. By learning to recognize logos, ethos, and pathos in advertising, we are able to understand the message and what is being portrayed. (Albert et al, 2014), suggested that Aristotle postulated that a speaker’s ability to effectively convince an audience is constructed on how well the speaker appeals to that audience in three different areas: logos, ethos, and pathos. These appeals together form what Aristotle calls a rhetorical triangle.
Logos appeals to reason. Logos can also be thought of as the text of the argument, as well as how well a writer has argued his or her point. Ethos appeals to the writer’s character and can also be thought of as the role of the writer in the

The reason for this is that from the advertisement one could sense an appeal to our sense of identity, self-interest and emotions. It added some amount of excitement and humor. A positive image was created from the video about the Papa John’s Pizza and it really made me feel persuaded to buy the pizza. The video Michelin Commercial 1993 also depicted pathos. Despite, the bad weather and icy roads the baby was still safe and going about his business. This video was done in such a way that it created a feeling of confidence and intrigue in the brand of Michelin tires. The video appealed to my emotion of safety and well-being. As a result of this it increased the power of what the message is saying.
The video entitled Army Strong depicted a combination of all three appeal. From the video logos was being portrayed as the video was typically marked by facts and data. The information was quite quantifiable and would enable one to make a rational decision about serving in the army. In portraying the pathos persuasion, the advertisement succeeded in lowering the often-perceived risk persons have of joining the army. As it relates to the ethos persuasion, the advertisement painted the United States Army as an entity that builds strong character, garners respect from the public and provides an avenue for career advancement. This essence was painted in my mind through the convincing data
For my Rhetorical Analysis I choose to use an advertisement that uses Ethos and Pathos to influence the intended audience. Ethos persuades audiences through celebrity endorsement. They find very intriguing celebrities that they think the particular audience would enjoy seeing. Pathos uses emotion to grab the viewers' attention. With this advertisement they use humor. In an advertisement like this, combining a funny sketch and beloved actors I'm sure Snickers received a great outcome.
Lastly, Pathos is more impartial to writers than Logos. Often times, Pathos that lacks facts. Also, Pathos is bias- ridden with the writers want the reader’s empathy and not all writers’ feelings are free from favoritism. Though the lucidity of words reaches the audiences fast, reader ought to watch for its scrupulosity since it is being written from the heart not the brain. For instance,In the article, “How Those Dove ‘Real Beauty Sketch’ Ads Went Viral” a writer, Eric Spitznagel explained that how the ads make people to feel emotionally. The Dove beauty advertising uses vivid words to convince women to buy the products by telling “you are more beautiful than you think.” This means, the dove ads target is to sell the product by motivating
Logos is how the writer uses facts, analogy or statistics. Pathos is how we attract the readers or audience emotions. Ethos is how the writers shows his character through authority, credibility to the audience. Is important to recognize the three of them because through facts we can give a better understanding or explanation of what we want to interpret. How we write, the wording we use which will be our Ethos is important to persuade people to get the Pathos which is how we can attract them through emotions.
What is it about an advertisement that makes people want to purchase that item? Could it be the idea of showing it off, personal attraction, or utilizing it in everyday life? The advertisement I chose to analyze does absolutely stunning in doing all three and more. The Mercedes ad of the red SL class car gives off a romantic look due to the color of the car and the caption on the left; and a rough and powerful look at the same time from the rigid mountainous background. The images looks extremely realistic, like every detail of it was picked up by a high tech camera. The main focus of the image is the front of the car closest to the foreground, with it going out towards the other parts making it one elegant picture. Ethos, Pathos, and logos play a major role in this ad to appeal to the audiences senses and attract the viewers the ad is aimed towards. This ad does marvelous in using rhetorical techniques to appeal to the viewer and persuade them to purchase this car.
Have you ever wondered what type of advertising is most effective? Well if you have, you are about to find out. In the following paragraphs there will be three examples of why using ethos is the best at persuading people to buy a product.
For my advertisement, I am selling highlighters with new colors. The two rhetorical appeals I used the most in my advertisement were logos and pathos. On the top of the advertisement, it says “Most pigmented highlighter since 2005” this shows logos because I used statistics to persuade the audience to buy my product. Also on the top, it says “Highlight your Future” this is pathos because I am trying to get the audience to buy my product by appealing to their emotions. I also used new pastel colors for my highlighters to get people to buy my product. Ethos was my company logo because it is a credible source the audience can trust. The target audience for my advertisement is students because they are the ones who are going to be using highlighters

Does the ad use ethos (character, credibility), logos (logic, information), or pathos (emotion) to appeal to the audience? Describe which one(s) and how they are used (e.g., pathos is used in commercials by the Humane Society; pictures of mistreated pets tug at your emotions and appeal to your desire to help, encouraging you to send money to the organization).
Every day across the country we are subjected to constant advertisement and sponsorships, all trying to win our approval and support. While all advertisements try to accomplish a similar goal, each advertisement encompasses slightly different tactics and ideas. The largest difference in almost all advertisements is not the product that they are trying to sell, or the organization they desire support for, but the different emotional and logical appeals they individually make with consumers. Both very different, emotional claims, often known as claims of pathos, attempt to connect to human emotions and fulfill some fundamental human need and desire. Similarly, logical, claims attempt to woo the interests of consumers with the use of fact and

When combined with each other they can make for a powerful argument. Logos is an appeal to a person’s logic using common sense or examples. Ethos is used to make an appeal using either the author’s or an expert’s credibility. Lastly, pathos is used by capturing a reader using their emotions
Media messages are structured and constructed intentionally to be particularly focused towards a target audience. These media messages for structure are then packaged for persuasion for a specific demographic to purchase what’s being advertised, to inform a consumer about the product, entertain and educate a specific group. Rhetoric is a way of communication through art to have others influenced and involved with other composition techniques. In addition, there are five canons of visual rhetoric. There are, however, five rhetorics created by Aristotle. The five canons include invention, arrangement, style, delivery and memory. Even though all media messages have a specific structure regarding the five canons, it can be, in fact, explained by
These ads have different meanings and they make connections to many things in our life. Pathos, Logos, and Ethos are helpful to writing an excellent paper and each one makes connections back to the ads, although each has its own meanings of what it takes to be categorized as one of them. These three appeals show the established credibility, emotional appeal, and how the ad was logical in reasoning.
