...a particular topic in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward, the presidential debate is focusing on one question what makes a good president? The two candidates use a mix of eye contact and physical movement to get the audience's attention and show what they meant and where feeling they also used things like pathos, ethos and logos that helped to support their debate. In the presidential debate both candidates use rhetorical analysis such as ethos in their responses to the questions that were being asked by the audience. When being used, the candidates were attacking each others ethos. For example, when Clinton said, “when I hear something like that, I am reminded of what my friend Michelle Obama advised us all. When they go low, you go high”(CBSNewsOnline) it showed that she is already connected to power and that she is associated with the First Lady and the whole presidential family.

... Fa(S) t Food & F(A)st Citizens Comparing two articles is not an easy job it is like having two plates on the table in front of you. One filled with Hot-Fudge and the other filled with Garden Salad. Well, it is obvious, that our taste buds would crave for the Hot-Fudge and not for the salad. “Smart Choices” eat healthy and stay healthy, sounds right, but not all the time. In the same way, an essay may sound just right until we analyze it rhetorically. An essay, constructed with equal and right amounts of Ethos. Pathos and Logos would be the one under the limelight, which in this case is “Remarks to the NACCP” by Michelle Obama, over “Unhappy...

If we starting of by introducing the pentagon model, we know that a speech usually is centred around an intention of the speaker and is depending on the interrelationship between the listeners, the topic, the writer, the language and the circumstances. The topic of this speech is the political campaign, the election, the American population and having high hopes in the future America. The listeners is mostly Obama's supporters as it was being held in Chicago in a building full of democrats, but also for the entire United States and the world in general, considering that America has so much influence on the world. President Obama starts off by being grateful and appreciating the audience. He says thanks three times, which is to calm down the audience but also to highlight his thanks. Afterwards he voices his opinion on how America has been moving forward” It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.” This sentence shows his patos. Obama develops the cohesion by speaking about the American citizens...

...of language and tone. And finally, I am going to argue my own view of the situation of African Americans today in text 2. Text 1 “Black is being seen in a whole new light” is a commentary by Yolanda Young from US Today 2009. Young is herself “a woman the color of black coffee” (Page 2 line 6-7) and she finds the struggle of being black not so tough anymore because Michelle Obama a black women who looks just like Young is living in the White House and is married to the most powerful man in the world Barack Obama. Psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark provided an experiment in 1954 where they conducted in which black children were presented with a black doll and a white one. The children were then asked which they thought was better. In the start the children chose the white doll but short after the Obamas moved to the White House the children were again asked to choose a doll. Nearly half the black kids chose the black doll now. She uses this experiment and her own situation to show after the Obamas moved into the White House then she found it acceptable to be black. She also makes use of ethos, logos, pathos and personal deixis which gives us a special relation to her. In text 2 “Black History Month” Eric Holder, an expert at the U.S. Justice Department, says in a speech from 2009: “we should use Black History month as a means to deal with this continuing problem.” (Page 4 line 7).

Michelle Obama has a campaign called Let’s Move; essentially this is to get the younger generation of children to start making healthier choices for their future.
