In the project “Mr. Spock’s Logic” we learned about Ethos, Pathos, Logos, and rhetoric. This is, different types of persuasive techniques that commercials or ads will use to draw their customers in and make them want to buy their product. We learned how to do these things by creating our own invention and making an add to persuade people to buy it. I never knew that these were the things that sellers were using to persuade me into buying or wanting to buy a product.…
In conclusion, Deborah Tannen balanced all three rhetorical appeals effectively to convince her audience. The author mostly used logos in her essay to back up her points. It was effective because she showed information and facts and demonstrated the audience could trust her. Tannen establishes credibility of her sources in her article by referencing facts, quotes, and people.…
Ethos, logos, and pathos are the three rhetorical appeals. In this commercial, ethos is used to establish credibility, logos is used to establish logic, and pathos is used to establish emotion. The commercial for Charmin toilet paper with the Charmin bears is an effective use of rhetoric because it makes you laugh, it gives examples of the toilet paper, and it creates trust.…
The point of any speech is to connect with an audience (and persuade them) on a far deeper level than any written form can provide. That connection may be through empathy, or through enthusiasm. An audience can relate to a strong speaker and a well written speech, and can be persuaded into seeing and understanding different points of view. Unfortunately not all speech writers have the insight or skill to do this, and it is obvious not only in the language and tone (formal, indifferent) but in the construction of the text.An example of this would be (former governor general of Australia) Sir William Deane’s speech “On the Occasion of an Ecumenical Service for the Victims of the…
Different authors use different techniques to persuade. The three main ways of persuading are through: pathos, which uses emotions, ethos, which proves their credibility, and logos, which implies the general message. Shakespeare, Lance Armstrong, and Amanda Ripley have all written articles arguing their opinion on the value of life. Of the three articles Lance Armstrong best persuades the audience with his argument that life is very valuable and that you could better your life from something negative, through his exceptional use of both logos and pathos.…

It makes perfect sense that to win over the crowd during a delivery; one has to make sure that the crowd likes one as a speaker. However, this is not to say that the words of persuasion and rhetorical invention are not important, in contrary, as Gorgias put it, “…if you have the power of uttering this word, you will have the physician your slave, and the money-maker of whom you talk will be found to gather treasures…, for you who are able to speak and to persuade the multitude (798).” Nevertheless, the manipulation of words is not my emphasis here, it is the appeal of the writer, in another words the ethos, as coined by Aristotle. As audience, we look upon to the speaker; his personality, wisdom, knowledge, and all other characters play a part in helping us forming a perception about him, and this will inevitability affect our responsiveness towards the issues he is addressing. As a result, we will develop into the five different kinds of audiences which mentioned earlier. And the speaker in turn, will have to employ his delivery methods accordingly so as to create resonance with the people. Form this observation, it is easy to see that the speaker’s personality and style and the type of audience are all inter-connected and have to be considered as a…

You must clearly identify the key point of your subject for the audience and then lead them logically toward that point. Merely talking around the subject in a haphazard manner will leave your listeners confused. As a persuader, you must always speak from your audience’s point of view. They will be motivated only what they want, not by what you want. Remember this as you organize your talk.…
