At 31: 01 Rhetorical Analysis

An example of Logos in the documentary was at 31:01 when one of the women workers goes into the office of the Labor Board. With Logos the producer is trying to convince an audience by using logic or reason. The scene at 31:01 does just that because the scene is being held inside the office of the Labor Board. This worker that the documentary has been following goes in to talk about her severance pay that Sonya wont pay. Eventually the Labor Board tells her that Sonya said they were only willing to pay $860. This is not enough though because this worker deserves the grand total of what her severance pay is. Her total is $2,400, but she is only asking for $1,800. The argument is why are these companies not paying their full amounts of severance
pay if any at all. This scene reinforces the fight for all the workers seeking severance pay and explaining how these companies are shorting them hundreds of dollars through this process. In addition, the Ethos helps with the reinforcing of this argument because once again this scene is recorded and narrated by the subject at hand in this documentary.
