Emma Gonzalez builds an argument to persuade the audience to insist a change in gun laws by standing up to the government. Emma strengths her speech by utilizing appeals such as ethos and pathos. Emma includes ethos by providing statics in her speech to allow and trust the audience into what she’s discussing about. She also uses pathos to elicit an emotional response so that her audience can connect and feel touched by the speech. This allows the audience to feel challenged and take action on this problem.
Initially, Emma Gonzalez starts off to frame her credibility by using Ethos so it’s easier for the audience to acknowledge that what she’ll be talking about is all evidence.For example, she states, “Since he was in middle school, it was
In the year 1990, a war between Iraq and Kuwait created numerous problems and hardships for many individuals including those who were not even affiliated with the region. An example of one of these problems is between an American mother, Mary Ewald, and her son Hart Ewald, who had been taken hostage by military forces under the leadership of the Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. Mrs. Ewald uses several rhetorical strategies and devices scattered throughout her letter in order to achieve a convincing and thought provoking plead. These strategies include effective and elaborate usage of logos pathos and ethos, and a very professional and intelligent tone.

While reading La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz, I thought it was interesting and funny since the political cartoons would show the stereotypes of Mexican-Americans. Lalo Alcaraz made this political cartoon in order to get his point across while also making it humorous. One cartoon that stood out to me was the one called “English Only”. In this cartoon this guy wants to make the country a English only language without having any diversity as well. What makes it funny is the guy is trying to get people to sign his petition of making English the official language, he himself is talking in Spanish. He uses words such as “Wait amigos and That guy is loco en la cabeza!” which is ironic because he is speaking in Spanish. I thought it was also funny because
Willa Cather has a great understanding of diction and thoroughly displays it in My Antonia. Anton Jelinek, a newly arrived immigrant from Bohemia, still calls Italians, “Eytalian … kawn-tree … we was showed in” (69) and mispronounces country and does not yet understand English grammar. He comments that, “I make my first communion very young,” (71). Jelinek’s informal dialogue fits his character because he is an immigrant and has just barely started to learn English. Therefore, his bad grammar, his accent, and mispronunciations make sense for who he is and where he came from, especially when taken into account where he is in his life. In contrast, Jim, who grew up in America and is native to the land, has a highly developed vocabulary and comments on how things are, “taciturn … [or] queer,” (72) and notes that Krajiek, “shrunk along behind them,” (75). He describes the, “bluish air, full of fine eddying snow, like long veils flying,” (76) and uses the words, “propitiatory intent” (77). Jim has a more formal language and is more educated that the immigrants of the towns. It is logical because it is written from the view of Jim as an adult looking back. As he looks back, he finds more complete words to describe situations that when he was actually in them. Jim’s vocabulary enlarged over time, so changes in how he describes his memories or reasonable.
Emma Gonzales, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School read a very inspiring speech towards lawmakers and gun advocates. Emma wrote this speech and gave it at a rally to try and get to President Trump and tell everyone it's basically his fault and to make a stop to selling guns to mentally ill people and people that dont need them. Emma created this speech to persuade the audience at the rally of how a school shooter costed her school to lose 17 students and some of them were even teachers. Using the rhetorical appeals to show emotion and showing that these students experienced this tragic event, Emma even shaved her head to show she was grieving. She uses emotion and logic to show emotion and sadness towards the
The article I decided to analyze was written by PhD candidate Jo Morgan, titled “US hate crime legislation: a legal model to avoid in Australia.” It is plainly stated in the abstract section of this paper, that the Author, examines the the barriers to achieving hate crime victim status. This is a much more complex issue than the typical white on black hate crime. The intent of Jo is to showcase that there are groups of people who are the direct victims of hate crime, but that the American judicial system (that he feels Australia is likely to emulate) doesn't adequately protect people. Throughout his paper, especially in the first half,
Since humans are innately emotional beings, appealing to feelings can have an immense influence on the audience as well. This is why pathos is such an effective tool for persuasion. Most notably, the use of logic and reasoning forces the reader to confront facts. Logos are essential in a good argument because they utilize irrefutable evidence to inform the audience and reduce opposition. The rhetorical devices that Stanton included in the document were extremely effective in gaining support for the women’s rights

Cynthia, I agree with what you say about knowing who your audience is important. I think when you're writng a paper and you know your audience it will helpp you write your essay alot faster. Knowing your audeince in writing helps because you can understand what type of style you should be using, because if you are writing in a childrens magazaine you are not going to use large words that they wouldnt understand. And if you are writing in a newspaper for adults you are going to try and impress your readers with large and vivid vocabulary to keep them interested in what you're trying to explain.
In Anthony’s fourth paragraph, she discusses the idea that if women really are not citizens then they are subjected to living in an oligarchy. This raises an emotional response in the audience because women do not want to and should not have to be forced into being the lesser. Anthony’s second paragraph, in which she discussed the perception of mockery women were subjected to, also raises an emotional response in the audience. For example, “And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government- the ballot.” this statement evokes emotion because it allows the audience to see the humiliation women faced on a day to day basis (Anthony paragraph 2). The fact that women were not allowed to vote and were spoken to as if they enjoyed their liberty of law invokes embarrassment in the audience. This was effective because it allows the male members of the audience to feel the way the women did, in certain instances.

Cesar Chavez, a civil rights leader fighting for improving pay and working conditions of farmers, employs the use of nonviolence resistance in his role as a leader of the United Farm Workers. As a child, Chavez and his family worked as farmers on a field as migrant workers who were most likely treated in an unjust manner and thus, he dedicated his life to improving the conditions for all farmers. To honor Martin Luther King Jr. on the 10th anniversary of his death, Chavez wrote to a religious magazine that helps people in need about the benefits of nonviolent resistance. Throughout his letter, Chavez applies rhetorical devices such as pathos, diction, and juxtaposition to persuade and inform people about how powerful and effective nonviolence techniques can be for civil rights.
What is it about some people that make others just stop whatever they are doing and listen to their words? Well, it is more than just magnetism, it is strategy. There are many tools and techniques to employ when writing or speaking to connect with one’s audience. Ethos, pathos, and logos are a simple but effective representation of these techniques. In her passionate TED talk, “The Power of Introverts”, Susan Cain employs many rhetorical strategies that allow her to connect with her audience and make her talk more powerful.
