This political cartoon created by Signe Wilkinson was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2019. This cartoon depicts a female and male soccer team opposite each other, with the female team being treated indifferently, by the Soccer Federation in the centre, despite its substantial success. Through this political cartoon, Wilkinson aims to inform U.S rugby enthusiasts about the Soccer Federation’s indifference in U.S women’s soccer compared to U.S men’s soccer despite the U.S women’s soccer success. Wilkinson achieves this through: emphasising the size of the women’s soccer ball, employing statistics within both the U.S men and women’s soccer ball to demonstrate logos, and highlighting the text on the soccer shoes to encourage change to the treatment of U.S women’s soccer.…
The use of beautiful women is not a new idea in advertising. Women are subjects of advertisements in areas such as cosmetics, weight loss, and specifically cleaning products, such as The Electrolux. The Electrolux is a bagless and automatic cleaner that provides deep cleaning and makes cleaning easier and convenient compared to other machines. The advertiser of The Electrolux Cleaner knows how convenient the cleaner is and effectively uses women along with several different techniques as a marketing focus in order to capture the attention of household owners.…

Shelby Steele uses a select choice of ethos, logos, and pathos to convey feelings “On being Black and Middle Class.” He strongly uses ethos in his essay, because he gives a plethora of logical examples and ideas about his statements. For example, he states, “What became clear to me is that people like myself, my friend and middle-class blacks generally, are caught in a very specific double bind that keeps two equally powerful elements of our identity at odds with each other.”Steele uses innocence and guilt in his essay to make the reader to feel bad that the whites were considered more powerful than the blacks. He uses ethos, logos, and pathos throughout his whole essay in order to describe emotion, reasoning, and the character of the speaker.…
In Dinesh D' Souza’s essay, "Two Cheers for Colonialism,” he attempts to convince the audience about several concerns regarding colonialism and Western civilization. He employs various methods to make the audience see his point of view. He uses a lot of emotional appeals, humor, ethos, logos, and anecdotes to argue that the West did not become influential through colonial oppression. He says, "By suggesting that the West became dominant because it is oppressive, they provide an explanation for Western global dominance without encouraging white racial arrogance. They relieve the Third World of blame for its wretchedness,"(1) and "The West did not become rich and powerful through colonial oppression. It makes no sense to claim that the West grew rich and strong by conquering other countries and taking their stuff"(2). He uses rhetorical strategies such as evidence-based arguments like the one above, to make a strong logical appeal to the audience.…
Plato was one of Socrates’ greatest admirers, and our knowledge of Socrates stems mostly from Plato’s dialogues. Plato wrote his dialogues so that his students could read them out to each other and from a phrase discuss what it is about.…
Through the use of ethos, King describes the "status quo" of the city of Birmingham, their beliefs, and the characteristic spirit of Birmingham. The ethos encompasses all the little bits and pieces of segregation because the ethos describes the community as a whole. He says, "Since you have been influenced by the view which argues against ‘outsiders coming in.’" and "Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial ‘outside agitator’ idea." This tells how the community thought of black people as "outsiders." The use of ethos benefits King's stance and position by pointing out the flaws in the "status quo" of Birmingham.…

In South Central, Los Angeles, there is a food epidemic taking place among the population. For miles and miles, the only easily attainable food source is fast food; causing the overconsumption of un-nutritious, greasy, and fattening food. This is the problem brought to the public’s attention by speaker Ron Finley in his Ted Talks speech, “A Guerilla Gardener in South Central L.A.” Finley explains how everywhere he looks in his native South Central, all he sees are fast food chains and Dialysis clinics opened due to the lack of nutritious food. Finley views the lack of a healthy food source as a serious problem, and brings up his point; there are miles of vacant lots throughout Los Angeles, all of which could be used for the cultivation of healthy fruits and vegetables to better the urban community’s diet and health.…
I believe that the rhetorical strategy of narration is both seen differently in the article, “Unnatural Killers”, by John Grisham and the article, “The Case Against College Athletic Recruiting” by Ben Adler. Both appeal emotionally to the reader but one is a lot more logical in its approach then the other.…
Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…
He makes the audience sympathize with the African American teacher when she says “I have been called the N word too many times to count.” It was previously mentioned that the author spoke from many different perspectives so he can get an emotional response from more than one type of group. He brings up the “Black Lives Matter” controversy which tends to bring out some sort of emotion in the majority of Americans. Either people are completely supportive of the phrase or people believe that it should be “All Lives Matter.” There are few people truly do not care so this creates an emotion response. The final emotional appeal is when a student says “I don’t want to debate. I want to talk about my pain.” The two most frequent reactions to this is either complete sympathy and maybe even pity or it could be the complete opposite. Some people saw this quote and was off put by the immaturity it displayed. Even though these topics are controversial and there are a wide view of opinions, it still creates some type of emotion among those who keep up with today’s political…
