Rhetorical Analysis Of Emily Parsons-Lord's Speech

Have you ever thought of how much oxygen you breathe every minute or every year? Well Emily Parsons-Lord, is the speaker in the video that I have chosen from Ted Talk’s website, she states that all of the breathing being done by one person could fill up an olympic size swimming pool. That is very crazy to think that one person can do that, while the whole world would be filling up around 323 million olympic size swimming pools. Now that I have talked to you about some incredible statistics of how much carbon dioxide is put in the air per year, now I will go into detail with this and tell you about the many different statements, also their purposes for each, that she makes throughout this video. As well, I will talk about all of the rhetorical
She describes it as, you are the being the artist of this invisible world and you are creating the masterpiece(s) inside of this world, although most people do not realize that they are doing this according to Parsons-Lord.
Thirdly, she uses logos to talk about a historical event that happened when dinosaurs were around, which was about 65 million years ago, she then stated that “when dinosaurs went extinct, a lot of scientists believed that there was a massive spike in carbon dioxide released from the simultaneous eruptions of the volcanoes and there was a runaway greenhouse effect”. This caused the air to be much harder to breathe, she also said that when this happened that the oxygen levels fell below half of that it is now, so it was around 10% or a little
For example, she has created this minimalist installation that is located in the UK, in which the specific location has the worst air pollution. This room is called “The Great Dying” and it contains a device that monitors the levels of oxygen in the room. She states on her website that, “Though it’s invisible, into the space the air of The Great Dying is being released. It is being released because you are there”, that is pretty crazy to think that you are creating this air. Another minimalist installation that she created was a small button called “The Confounding Leaving”. This small button has two different ways of working: when you are to push the button, it releases “future air” over your hand and down your arm, the other way is that you can breathe it and feel the connection with the future of air. The future air is said to be six times heavier than the oxygen we breathe everyday and if you were to breathe in this air your words were to be heavy as
