Explain the difference between ethos, pathos and logos and why they are each effective rhetorical strategies. Provide a real-world example of each and how those examples are successful at persuading their intended audience.

The application of logos, ethos, and pathos are commonly utilized in rhetorical concepts that are used in any print advertisement to win the attention of the customer. They primarily is to convince the customer of the credibility of the persuader as well as creating an emotional response as well as trying to persuade an audience by reason. Print advertisement should be smart, containing a clever message, and with a curious image that will fascinate the thought of the expected readers at first-hand. For any advertising print to be credible and captivating there must be examples of evidence that whatever is displayed on the print is legitimate.

Logos, ethos, and pathos are essential components used in advertising. By learning to recognize logos, ethos, and pathos in advertising, we are able to understand the message and what is being portrayed. (Albert et al, 2014), suggested that Aristotle postulated that a speaker’s ability to effectively convince an audience is constructed on how well the speaker appeals to that audience in three different areas: logos, ethos, and pathos. These appeals together form what Aristotle calls a rhetorical triangle.

In the four texts of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission in which it discusses the landing of the first humans on the moon, the texts were from Times of London, William Safire, novelist Ayn Rand, and Herblock. The head of the mission Apollo 11, was Neil Armstrong. Neil took a colleague named Edwin Colleague. The whole world was watching this tremendous event that shocked the world. President Nixon was seen as a powerful leader to have held and arrange such a suspense, horrific event. In the first text, “Man Takes First Step on the Moon”, by the Times, gives the perspective of Neil Armstrong and how all the leader around the world have given respect to the US for being the first to make it to the moon. The second text, “In the Event of Moon Disaster”, by William Safire, it gives the view of the people seeing the astronauts as heroes. In the third text, “ The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man's Greatness”, by Ayn Rand, is based on the perspective of a NASA guide. In the illustration of the cartoon, ”Transported”, by Herblock, shows the reality of society in the time of chaos. The rhetorical appeals, pathos, ethos, and logos are used in these texts to attempt to achieve its purpose.

On July 16, 1969, NASA launched a shuttle into space containing Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. They were going to be the first people to step foot on the Moon. This mission into the unknown caused a commotion on Earth. Many reputable news sources across the world created various sources about this event. These are weighted with the high emotions that ran through the world as well as the facts gathered as the brave men first put their footprints on the barren surface of the Moon. The creators of each peice used logos, pathos, and ethos to get the desired response from their audiences.

The cartoon Transported by Herb Lock uses Aristotle's modes of persuasion to change how the viewer's look on the moon missions. Everyone is astonished by the moon missions, but herb is trying to give the people a reality check. Persuasion is conveyed by the speaker's character through Pathos, Logo, and Ethos when he speaks or writes. In this instance it is not words but a political cartoon. In the image there is a clear contrast between the earth and the moon. Here we see a dark earth surrounded by dark clouds with the words War, Poverty, and Prejudice, while a man is sitting on the moon watching TV. Firstly, he appeals to Ethos because his credibility comes from being and invested earthling. Basically this cartoon is saying, hey great job

Along with the NY times ethos appeal, the board uses strong appeals to logos, with logical progressions of ideas and many facts and statistics. “Logos or the appeal to logic, means to convince an audience by use of logic or reason.” (User, Super) The board points out facts about how many students actually are struggling with being able to pay for lunch and how children are humiliated and criticized

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” are words that astronaut, Neil Armstrong declared as people around the world attentively watched him take the first steps on the moon. That moment would be documented in history and talked about for years to come. The Apollo 11 mission had left many doubts to those watching the spectacle. Would Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin successfully set foot on the moon? Or was this launch a disaster waiting to happen? The following texts, In Event of Moon Disaster by President Nixon’s speechwriter, William Safire, and The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man’s Greatness by novelist, Ayn Rand, both express the possibility of a disaster as well as the relief and contentment for the men on

Not only did Apollo 11, the first successful mission in landing man on the moon, affect future space discovery, it impacted the world, by helping people understand how much they can be capable.

In many papers you will notice different types of persuasion that help the writer to give a reader a better of understanding of the paper. These types of persuasion are called rhetorical appeals. Each appeal has its own ability to give to the writer's paper, ethos is the credibility of the work the writer is using, pathos is appealing to the audience’s emotions, and lastly logos is the logical appeal. When writing a paper a person generally uses at least one rhetorical appeal to persuade their audience.

Assuming Names, by Tanya Thompson, was a mere sneak peek into the past of a young girl who fooled the FBI, Interpol, DEA, and numerous other federal offices. She has an innate hunger for adventure and will do anything to free herself of the curse of boredom. Tanya was also born with ability to charm people into believing her deep twisted lies. Throughout her account, Thompson is able to lure the reader into her life full of lies by using an ample amount of intricate diction, syntax, and other rhetorical strategies. The purpose of her book was to inform her audience, young adults, of what occurred during those many years, how she handled situations, and what emotions she felt.

The speaker used different types of appeals towards his topic. He first used Pathos, by explaining how he was a firefighter and how he wanted to save lives by “slaying dragons”, which means to put out the fire. In his topic he showed how there is a new dragon that he wanted to slay, a dragon that consisted of five different dragons, each head had a disease or illness that is now killing many people. By using this fiction picture and showing his audience how much people are dying because of not living a healthy lifestyle shows the appeal to emotions that the speaker used in his introduction. Then after that I found that he merged both the appeal to reason which is logos, and the appeal to authority which is ethos. By talking about how he found

In the article, “Princess Diana Dies in Paris Crash,” it consists of ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos means expert. Pathos means emotion. Logos means logic. The ethos in the article is BBC, a news broadcasting station. BBC received information on the car crash and received quotes from close family quickly because they remain located in London. In the article it says, “In a statement Buckingham Palace said the Queen and the Prince of Wales were “deeply shocked and distressed”.” In the article it states, “Hundreds of mourners have gathered at the princess’ London home, Kensington Palace, and many have laid flowers at the gates.” This statement from the article shows emotion because people, that express sadness, come together to pay their respects to Diana by laying flowers at the gates of her home. Logos expresses facts and specific details like, “Al Fayed and the chauffeur died at the scene but the princess and her bodyguard were cut

Logos: It is an appeal to the mind with the use of logic, rationality and critical reasoning to persuade the audience. The author uses logos in his article to make a logical connection with the topic. For example, the author uses the explanation of ideas in the article and employs lots of diagrams in each parts of the topic to show the visualization to support his evidence which is very informative because the visuals give lots of information about what the article is about and that to get attention of the audience.

The first article is a new article written by BBC. The article they wrote is not rhetorically effective because of all the missing components. The BBC article is written in the organizational method of narration. The method of organization is extremely obvious since the author is not making any connection with the audience just stating facts. BBC states in their article, "Diana, Princess of Wales, has died after a car crash in Paris" (BBC np). The author is too formal and does not give any emotion throughout the paper. Since the connection with the audience is lacking, part of the rhetorical triangle is missing making the article ineffective. The audience part of the triangle relates to pathos, and since the thought of audience is missing from the article pathos is not present. Despite the fact many things are missing in the article, logos and ethos are present. BBC establishes ethos because they are a new station, and people trust the news and what they say. Logos is established through the article because the wording is very straightforward in delivering facts about the
