Pepe's Ethos Pathos Logos

Leonard Pitts take a stand against President Trump in “Mr. President: ‘Just who the hell do you think you are?’” Pitts portrays the point with not only the use of pathos but also logos as he asks the President to examine who he is, and reminding him of where and who he is serving.

As I began to read this article I noticed that logos was definitely used as one of the rhetorical appeals. The author attempts to persuade his audience by making a claim and providing some type of proof after each claim. For example, “Papa John’s says it has been pulling advertising associated with the NFL. The league, it says, has given some feature spots in return.” This quote was provided after the author mentions how, “Papa John’s is no longer going to advertise with the NFL.” The first example of how he makes a logical appeal. At the end of the article he also mentioned race, stating that “Most whites are not racist,” and how “To accuse so many of it is to see those fans simply walk away from the game.” That is a pathos appeal or in other

In the comic people and speech balloons are not present, and thus no tone or voice is ever established other than the humor in naming a hurricane DACA with immigration politics swirling in the midst of it, while it is headed straight to the Whitehouse. Because of this, we know that the author believes debates and protests are going to occur within the Whitehouse over the immigration policies, but we never clearly see his view or side on whether he was for or against DACA and immigration. What’s left is an unbiased cartoon, where little controversy is to be found.

The cartoon on the right was posted by cartoon artist Piraro on August 10, 2010. The cartoonist's opinion is ironic because

Political cartoons are an illustrative technique that political cartoonist use to display a message to the viewers about government, world affairs, and politics. In 1754, publishers of the Pennsylvania Gazette published the first political cartoon illustrated by Benjamin Franklin (West, par. 1). Benjamin Franklin used his first political cartoon, titled Join or Die, to gain support from the colonies for the Crown’s war against the French (West, par. 1). Since the 1700s, illustrators use political cartoons as a medium to display political messages to its viewers (West, par. 1). On March 10, 2015, publishers of the Columbia Daily Tribune published a political cartoon, illustrated by John Darkow, titled Hillary Has A Primary Opponent (Darkow,

During the 1920’s a series of events were set into motion that plunged America into one of the worst time of its existence come 1929 and later the Great Depression. Through the challenges America faced, it arose to become the world’s strongest leading economical and political superpower. As the country began to emerge stronger than ever, leaders arose to the occasion and aided its progression as a world power. One such leader was be Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Due to his actions, the memory of him was preserved in the form of political cartoons for individuals to view and come to the conclusion that despite some ill feelings toward the man, he was a man of noble character who aided America in achieving greatness.

Partisan animosity has escalated to the point where, the simple two-word comment, “a pen” (Brandon), by a 14-year-old, sparked an attack filled with vicious name-calling and animosity. Such is the case with Gabe Fleisher from Missouri, who posted the two-word comment as a response to the following tweet posted by Donald Trump, a billionaire businessman, and Republican presidential candidate: “Why is this reporter touching me as I leave news conference? What is in her hand??” (Brandon).

When quoting Kjellberg on jokes that he has made in his videos, the article chose to call them “posts” instead of pointing out that they were jokes. When applied to jokes that lie on the more offensive side, made Kjellberg seem as if he was serious when he was merely entertaining his pool of audience. Kjellberg has spoken and called out news articles for using his name as clickbait and taking what he said out of context before. In a video named “Stop Doing This…” Kjellberg specifically asked his fans who created Swastikas, a symbol adopted by the Nazi Party, in a customizable game that he had launched to stop (Kjellberg). However, The Wall Street Journal article incorporated the fan-made Swastikas as evidence that Kjellberg was an advocate for anti-semantic ideas and actions, completing neglecting the requests Kjellberg made in that video. To further illustrate the absurdity of the issue, the article used a screenshot of Kjellberg raising his arm, merely to point towards the camera while addressing it, as a comparison to the action of hailing Hitler. Cherry-picking in the media only benefits one party — the

They use their artistic skills as an aid to convey messages to people of all ages. Political cartoons appear all over the internet and social media. The cartoonists usually distort several of the characters’ physical features in order to emphasize a belief or criticize an idea in the society. A recent political cartoon depicts Donald Trump with a long nose. The cartoonist tried to influence the viewers into believing that Donald Trump is a liar, and he does not fit to be president. It might seem that the cartoonist drew the cartoon just to make the viewers laugh, but his goal was actually to present the reasons why US citizens should not vote for Trump. This drawing might not immediately cause the viewers to alter their attitude towards Trump, but the drawing will appear in the viewer's’ mind whenever the presidential election is mentioned. Sometimes, the cartoon might even influence the viewer to vote for Clinton instead of Donald Trump. The more entertaining a cartoon appear, the faster the picture will spread throughout social media and the internet. This will allow the cartoonist to spread his ideas to a greater amount of

Now Donald Trump on the other hand isn’t afraid to make an ass of himself. He constantly puts inappropriate things on

Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I looked up to my brother when I was younger. I thought about this – for about 2 seconds – before stating that I thought Donald had been more a source of perspiration than inspiration. But I'd hate for you all to think he didn't make an impression upon me. Those at the front should just about be able to make out the two-inch scar on my head, caused by Donald practicing his fast-bowling against his seven year-old brother.

“President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a longtime supporter … of the movie industry allowed Hollywood to continue commercial operations so longs as it cooperated with Washington in actively supporting the war effort” (Schatz 2). The films provided reasons beyond entertainment for the production of animation, government and military officials, needed a way to reach a wide audience during the war. They were intended to help build morale for the public, and allowed Americans to release their anger and frustration through crude humor to simply reflect the war culture. Disney in particular made many wartime cartoons that showed what was happening inside the United States during the war, and reflect the cultural moment in which they were made. For instance, Daffy Duck was one of the popular characters from Walt Disney that was used for the war effort. In a short film, called Scrap Happy Daffy describes Daffy as he defends his scrap yard against a metal-eating Nazi goat sent by an enraged Adolf Hitler. The cartoon asks citizens to donate to the war effort by listing items which can be given to scrap yards around

Pepe the Frog, the popular internet meme adopted by the ultra-conservative alt-right movement, has officially been deemed a hate symbol. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) added Pepe to its database of hate symbols on Tuesday, calling it the alt-right's "favorite meme." Teens dont know why pepe is on a hate website and are asking why pepe the frog was put on a list where the kkk blood cross, that is a true symbol of hate towards blacks, and let's not forget hitler's swastika is also on this

Among the latest: Time magazine has asked The Trump Organization to take down fake magazine covers featuring a pre-presidential Donald Trump.

The audience is portraying Trump as a fool. For instance, El Universal a Mexican news channel, a video was created in Mexico specifically for Trump. The game was called “trumpealo” which displays “Trump it” in English. The game is played with a player-attacking trump with shoes, ball, or cactus while trump stands on the stage. This portrays that Mexican are seeing him as a joke and no one to be taken serious. El universal also published Walter Mercado a Puerto Rican who said “Trump has very little political future, his offensive and irreverent comments against Latinos have earned him the antipathy and hatred of most of the U.S. population," (Mercado) this was said told to Universal, many Mexicans disliked him for the way Trump imaged all the
