Using Pathos, Ethos and Logos

As a child, I wasn’t really allowed to do some things I loved to do, like going to play at a friend’s house or watch television for hours or to be on the computer for very long. I was very reserved and quiet. My parents are strict disciplinarians and all about book work.
When I was 8 years old, I noticed that they never complained when I wanted to visit a friend of mine who had a piano. He was quite older than me and I really enjoyed going to their house because they lived in a really fancy estate. I didn’t know much about playing the piano or anything but I always sat there for hours trying to learn the solfa notations for any song that popped into my head.

    I haven't read something with many pictures for so long. It is hard to concentrate on the readings. I feel that by showing pictures in the reading help me understand what it is trying to say a lot better. Combining both pictures and words can let the people reading it more of a feel of what is actually going on. In this they have many pictures and good explanations of each.

    The author’s is that the internet has a negative effect on cognition that is chipping away the capacity for concentration and contemplation. I couldn’t find Carrs thesis anywhere in the first paragraph, I found it in the fourth paragraph. I personally found his argument to be weak, his evidence was relatively outdated. He created a small list of years that didn’t happen anywhere near the creation of the internet. (1882, 1976, 1936)…

    They rarely talked to me or spent time with me. As a result, I spent most of my early childhood alone. Over time, I began to like being alone, spending most of my time either in my room or outside in the nearby boroughs of Queens. I was happy with the way that my life was now. This made it much more of a shock to me when my mother came to me one day with terrible news.…

    Frederick Douglass is trying to persuade his audience by using number of charismatic traits, such as ethos, pathos, and logos. Douglass starts out his essay by expressing what the Fourth of July is to slaves in comparison to the rest of America: "What have I , or those I represent, to do with your national independence"(Douglass 480)? Douglass has credibility because he was a slave(486). He states: "Fellow-citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are, to-day, rendered more intolerable by the jubilee shouts that reach them"(480). If Douglass was never a slave, the quote wouldn't had been as powerful in its deliverance.…

    In “Becoming members of society: Learning the social meaning of gender” essay, Aaron H. Devor makes an argument that genders are a production of society structure and we learn to adapt to its demand as we set ourselves in the position to be successful. Also in the selection from her Can’t Buy My Love: How Advertisings Changes the Way We Think and Feel book, ”Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt”: Advertising and Violence, Jean Kilbourne states that advertisings that depicts sex and violence are contributing to the crime against women in our society.

    In the article “Distorted Images: Western Cultures are Exporting Their Dangerous Obsession with Thinness,” author Susan McClelland’s mainly focuses on how many young women idolize the women they see on T.V. The media is making many women feel as if they need to look a certain way to fit in with the world. Also the fact the western culture is spreading to other countries is a big issue because sicknesses, like bulimia, were not an issue before. Many women in other countries are starting to look at the women in the United States and want to be just like them. In this article, the author says that television, magazines, and media show young women that they need to be tall, skinny, and white to be successful in finding a job or even a love life. Throughout the essay, the author showed professional knowledge on the topic she was writing about, evidence from other sources, and the use of emotion; this article was strong and persuasive toward McClelland’s argument.…

    Every writer wants to make an amazing piece of work to show off to the world though writing. The author has to determine who the audience will be and what the purpose of his or her text will be behind their thoughts.

    Sanders’ primary appeal is pathos, and he uses it in various ways to illustrate his purpose. Firstly, his diction demonstrates use of pathos, because the author incorporates words with emotional contexts and meanings such as “seductive”, “unglamorous”, “tolerance”, and “respect”. Second of all, Sanders connects with the reader and their feelings through the use and repetition of personal pronouns, especially “we”, “our”, and “you”. On the same note, the author employs words such as “people”, “human”, and “Americans” to appeal and relate to a particular yet diverse group, pulling them into what the writer is truly trying to say and attempting to make their emotions grow stronger for what Sanders is speaking about. Finally, Sanders utilizes pathos…

    A long time ago, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, we were in the car when my dad saw a piano on the side of the road with a “free” sign on it. Dad thought my sister and I should have one, so he brought a bunch of his friends together and they brought it home. I became excited. The piano sounded way out of tune and the white paint was chipped, but it remained a beautiful instrument in my eyes. We cleaned it up and then moved it to the very end of the living room, where it remained for many years.…

    I come from a family with a rich background in music. I don’t know a single family member that can’t play at least one instrument or doesn’t know how to read a piece of sheet music. When I was very young my mother would play music for me and sing to me. My father would also play the drums very loudly so the entire neighborhood could hear.

    Firstly, social problem within my father’s and my own childhood in terms of freedom. As a child, my dad will be playing out the whole day; running, laughing and not worrying. My dad lived in a village where the children from the whole village were a big company. They would all play together without fighting and arguing all the time. Heck, my grandparents didn’t have to worry about my dad that much. They are used to let their children play a lot of hours with freedom without being nervous or stressed about it. They knew their children were safe. I, on the other hand, had a must lesser freedom compared to my father. Back then, I don’t get to go out and play with the other children due to safety reasons. My parents were very afraid of this worlds’ dangers. In fact, there weren’t many children to play with in streets compared to the “good old days”. I get to go the playground to play once awhile but there were so few to play with.…
