...the speaker, audience, and subject. Which is called the rhetorical triangle. When someone uses the rhetorical triangle or ethos, pathos, and logos, it makes the passages much more interesting and you’ll get a better understanding on what they are trying to inform.

...On December 8th, 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt stood and gave the speech about the attack on Pearl Harbor in Washington D.C. A day after the United States of America were suddenly deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. Franklin D. Roosevelt made a rhetorical speech that is still heard today. Roosevelt’s speech made rhetorical statements on ethos, pathos. Also some importance on the attack and what has happened on that day. Roosevelt knew that some of his speech had credibility among it. This is ethos one of the three parts of the rhetorical triangle. He uses ethos by talking about “the distance between Hawaii to Japan makes it obvious that the attack was planned many days or even weeks ago.” I think that it is creditable by the founded out information after the attack. Another sign of him using ethos is when he said “As a commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.” Roosevelt knew that some of his speech also has pathos which is another part of the rhetorical triangle. Roosevelt said “The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American...

...One the other hand, Wayne C. Booth stresses in “The Rhetorical Stance” that one of the most important things for students to learn in college writing classes is to balance the triangle of subject, reader, and writer. Booth believes that students could write excellent essays if they balance the subject, reader, and writer in their essays well. Moreover, he elaborates three stances, the pedant’s stance, the advertiser’s stance, and the entertainer’s stance, which would destroy the equilibrium of the triangle. “Students should avoid these three corruptions in order to make their writing more efficient and arousing to write and read.” Booth says. Just like Booth’s triangle, the rhetorical triangle also guides students to think of the writer, the...

...In English 111 I have learned different things to perfect my writing skills. We specifically spent more time focusing on rhetorical knowledge and its different categories. These categories include what rhetoric is its self, what a rhetorical situation is, what the rhetorical triangle is, and what are the rhetorical appeals are. It all can be tricky to understand but I think I have a pretty clear understanding of what rhetorical knowledge is. Let me first explain what rhetoric is. Rhetoric is the ability in each particular case to see the available means of persuasion. We use this all the time is our everyday life; when we speak, write, or any type of communication to convince other we are using rhetoric. For example say you’re watching TV and Dove soap commercial comes on, there’s a woman in the commercial that uses a different brand of soap and she states that she is having problems...

Through the use of this advertisement, Nike effectively utilizes the rhetorical triangle in order to persuade their audience into buying their product. The most prevelant aspect of the rhetorical triangle in this advertisement is the use of logos. This advertisement is organized strategically so that it illustrates a story of perserverance. Log. The story starts off with a woman staring up at a mountain of stairs. At first, she is intimidated by the intense workout ahead of her. However, once she starts running with her Nike sneakers on, she easily ascends the stairs...

...When I was looking for public service ad to analysis, I saw a poster that is magical and very interestingly propagandist. This poster seemed similar to World War II Soviet Union and Nazis propaganda posters. It has very distinct style and very mind boggling title that you never going to understand, unless you make some research on it. After seeing the poster, I felt that I had to know the meaning behind this puzzling design, and most importantly the message of the poster and the reasons why the author including the things that are hard to analysis and explain. To do the analyzing, I will use Rhetorical triangle and Toulmin analysis. Rhetorical triangle analysis consists of the text (Logos), author (Ethos), and audience (Pathos). The Toulmin analysis consists six parts: claim, data, warrant, qualifier, backing, and rebuttal....

As described by the Cambridge Dictionary, graffiti are "writings or drawings made on surfaces in public places", this kind of artwork first began to display some sort of self-expression or story. Banksy, a British street artist, conveys his messages through the same manner of powerful artwork like graffiti.

...in the immoral and impractical practices of the meatpacking industry. Additionally, Sinclair elaborates on the audience's deduction further into the text when he states,"The Meat would be shoveled into carts, and the man who did the shoveling would not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one--there were things that when into the sausage in comparison in which a poisoned rat was a tidbit." In essence, Sinclair further exposes the unsanitary methods of the meatpacking industry and also indicates that there are much worse hazards that enter average meat than dead poisoned rats. Later on in contemporary-society, Barack Obama presents alternatives and possible solutions to America's massive incarceration through secondarily-effective ethos by establishing intelligence and expertise on the matter at hand. For instance, Obama clarifies his thesis to his audience when he states, "Now I want to spend the rest of my time just laying out some basic principles, some simple ideas for what reform should...

...several videos about Lupus. My goal was to critique them all using what I have learned about the Rhetorical Triangle. This subject is dear to my heart because I have Lupus as well and I was also looking for what video best presented information about Lupus. The first video that I watched was titled “A bad day with Lupus” (Lupus, 2005).One of The first things that I noticed right away was that the creator of this short video had included music as well as graphics with her presentation. I thought that this was a way to keep the viewers’ attention as well as the information on the screen. The first video starts out with a song and a page simply titled “Lupus”. The colors were vibrant and appealing. This too, I felt was a plus. But I also realize that not all subjects such as dealing with diseases, will have pretty colorful scenery. I also realize that this individual might have chosen to use this attempt at first in order to draw in the viewer. In the first video, the author uses pictures of butterfly’s, which happen to be one of the symbols of Lupus. One of the most noticeable bodily changes due to Lupus is a butterfly shaped rash across the bridge of a person’s nose. The author colorfully shows this again by pictures, and notes. I felt the strong emotional appeal that the creator wanted to make with this video. I definitely felt that the “logos” “ethos” and “pathos” were all met, therefore making this Presentation not only easy to watch, but emotionally appealing...

...Dominican Magic Assumptions are always being made on a day to day basis. With that being said, if I were to have a brief knowledge on the rhetorical triangles of writing, the Dominican Republic history, and the cultural dimensions of Hofstede, then I would make an informed assumption that the Dominican culture is in tune to their appearance as well as their status class, Dominicans are very open people, and they relate to several cultural dimensions. In respect to the audience of the rhetorical writing triangle, the hair product advertisement targets the Dominican people, and specifically the Dominican women. This is done so by demonstrating the phenomenal effects of their hair product, Dominican Magic. The message of this advertisement is...

...The Rhetorical Triangle Unit 1 IP Romeo McIver AIU Online University Abstract This paper will discuss the effectiveness and the differences of the two videos I viewed; “The Heart Truth for Women” and “Create the Life You Love” by BeautiControl. I will explain whether or not they were successful or not successful in their presentation, provide examples why one video presentation was more effective. The term rhetoric is used to describe the effectiveness of language and how incorporating certain aspects into writing and speech can lead to improved clarity and persuasion. If used correctly, rhetoric should include ethos, pathos, and logos, also known as the rhetorical triangle, in order to have a well rounded argument. Although opinions on the 'real' definition of rhetoric differ, overall it means correct usage of structure, argument, and support to create an overall understanding of the point the writer or speaker is trying to convey. Both videos were very informative; Create the Life You Love speaker was very clear on the subject of flexibility and financial freedom of women creating their own destiny with opportunities that are truly limitless. The video was very successful because the speaker...

...Essay #2 In the article Child Prostitutes: Criminals or Victims? By Susan L. Pollet she talks about child prostitution in the state of New York and how they need to change their laws and the way they handle child prostitutes. Pollet talks about how there isn’t a federal law for prostitution and how the minors involved in prostitution aren’t criminals, but victims in some cases. Pollet did a great job in this article by hitting all the main points that she would need to discuss to make this article a good piece to analyze. Pollet does a great job of giving background information on this subject, since most people who probably read this article aren’t living in the state of New York. In the part of her article titled background Pollet gives statistics on prostitution in the state of New York and its largest city NYC. Pollet uses the statistic that “The New York Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) estimates that there are 2,500 youth engaged in commercialized sex in New York City.” Pollet is then able to give us some laws that are in place now that help in stopping prostitution, but are the reasons that children are continuing to work in prostitution. I like how Pollet tells you all the laws that are in place against prostitution because it gives you knowledge about the subject and gives Pollet credibility. The next part of her article Pollet talks about the Services and Protection that are there now and need to be put in place to help these youth that are being...

...their drink seem to be the best of the best. This ad shows an older man in his seventies wearing luxurious clothes and smoking a cigar while being surrounded by two women who can’t seem to get their eyes off him. In front of him are two bottles of dos equis beer that are opened. The creator uses not only words but also colors and detail to mold their ad as being the best. Before even creating the ad, the creator had to still take into consideration the rhetorical triangle. In this case, the subject is a great-tasting beer, the audience are the buyers who are looking to purchase an alcohol and finally the speaker in this ad is the elderly man in the center or who the world knows him by, the most interesting man in the world. The ad appeals to ethos by using the “most interesting man in the world in it”. The man’s ethos is strong mainly due to his title that the world has given him. As being the most interesting in the world, he must keep that title even when choosing his alcohol choice. For pathos, it is not as strong as ethos, but his conviction his face truly shows it. The man’s face has a serious look in the commercial, but he is only trying to pick his beer of choice. Finally, for logos, this beer tastes good and looks satisfying. While looking at this ad you must observe and realize that this is no ordinary beer, it is a distinctive beer for costumers that can only “rock” the logo with two attractive chicks behind them. While all this may be true, the visual aspect of the...
