The famous playwright William Shakespeare, in his version of a speech, St. Crispans Day Speech, he gives King Henry a motivational tone when speaking with his army. ShakeSpeare’s purpose is to make Henry get his point across by saying he will not fight with anyone who doesn’t fight for the English. Henry and Shakespeare adapt an enthusiastic, ambitious, and patriotic tone while speaking to his army about defeating the French in the battle. In this situation pathos makes a great impact in the compliance of of the soldiers and it paid off majorly.…
King Richard’s ability as an actor within a play explores how this type of villainy was entertaining in the era of Shakespeare. Richard’s evil is immediately established as his moral deformities are clearly embodied in his physical deformities. In justifying his premeditated meddling, he personifies war in his first soliloquy. ‘Grim visag’d war hath supported his wrinkled front’ and moved to caper ‘ nimbly in a lady’s chamber!’ Richard’s nature: ‘Deform’d, unfinished’ thus justifies his evil as he cannot participate in the war -lovemaking atmosphere. This was obviously a form of entertainment to the Shakespearean audience who had known of the war of the Roses and Richard’s deformities.…

In the film RIP! A Remix Manifesto by Brett Gaylor is about how copy right laws are affecting people. Gaylor think music should be free and should let everyone have the right to be creative with it. In the film Gaylor employs pathos in order to get to the audience and demonstrate how companies only protect their interest and prevent Americans to be creative with other people’s work. I think pathos is an effective for getting the audience attention since he provides stories such as when Brazil illegally made HIV medicine, when they sued Jaime, and the fun everyone was having while partying.…
Richard has a confidence and arrogance to him, which he uses to his advantage especially with the knowledge of how fragile Lady Anne is; when Richard firsts enters, Shakespeare writes in the stage direction that she "spits at him". This is impactful on the audience, as they know straight away that this scene will be emotionally rough and aggressive between the interaction of Lady Anne and Richard III. The fact she "spits" at him, as soon as she sees him, without first talking to Richard III shows her to be furious and disgusted with him - she would rather show her disdain towards him through action rather than having to acknowledge him with speech that to him would be less impactful. Arguably, this seems…

Chicago, at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, is a port city.(2) It is also an important commercial (3) and industrial center of the Midwest. It is well known for its educational, cultural, and recreational centers. Chicago draws thousands to its concert halls, art museums, and sports arenas.(4) Cleveland, on the south shore of Lake Erie, is also a port city and a commercial and industrial center important to its area (5). Like Chicago, it has several important educational, cultural, and recreational centers. It has colleges and universities, and a distinguished (6) symphony orchestra. It has one of the finest art museums of the world, and many recreational centers. The location of the two cities contributed to their growth, but this similarity is not enough to explain the wide social diversity(7) (8).…
Reflecting Elizabethan moral absolutes, Shakespeare acknowledges that a capacity for deception, manipulation and the quest for power is central to the human condition and clearly delineates the complex nature of evil in the character of Richard. Shakespeare dramatically portrays Richard’s villainous intentions and motivations to the Elizabethan audience in the opening soliloquy announcing- “he is made villain” to “usurp” the throne like a symbolic “usurping boar” being physically and morally “deformed” by his craving for power. Subsequently, Richard uses his guises as a tool for deception; he is a passionate lover desperately “wooing Lady Anne” yet a conniving murderer killing her husband, also ironically appearing to be a “loyal loving brother” by eradicating “George” himself. Shakespeare then reaffirms the results of human’s corruption and insatiability for power to the Elizabethan audience as he “proves a villain” must “fall prey to his” own “subtle and treacherous”…

¬ Pathos is an appeal to the audience’s emotions. It can be in the form of figurative langauge, a passionate delivery, or even a simple claim that a matter is unjust. Pathos is most effective when the author connects with an underlying value of the audience.…
I think that there are a lot of things together that make a good speech. I think that the base of a good speech starts with using all ethos pathos and logos, i think that a good speech leads with one of these but still uses the others almost as much. I think out of ethos pathos and logos is logos because i think that people would rather believe something they can know to be true instead of someone with authority or something that emotionally speaks to them. Also it's almost always most rational to go with the facts for example if someone says “ i am a doctor and i think that glass is toxic to human skin” and someone else says “ actually i did various studies on glass by having multiple people touch it and it had no effect” you would most likely believe the second person.…

Reaction: In Dorothy E. Smith article, I understand her message of sociology is treated as a male dominated discipline. From my college experience, I learn about the founding fathers of sociology and barely learning about women who influence sociology. On the top of my head, when I think of sociology I think of Weber and Marx. I like how Smith points out the idea that sociology was created by men and made for men, therefore women are left out. This becomes a problem, because how can sociologist explain a social phenomenon if what a women experience may be different for a male.…
