Queen Elizabeth, Diana’s mother-in-law and the grandmother to William and Harry, appears to be the ethos in this article. In the article she says, “So what I say to you now, as your queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart.” She expresses emotion, pathos, by using the words “sadness,” “initial shock,” “anger,” and “disbelief.” In the article she says, “We have all felt these emotions in these last few days.” She says “we” because the entire world has paid tribute and expressed sadness from the news of Diana’s death. This article expresses logos because she uses dates and times. “This week at Balmoral, we have all been trying to help William and Harry come to terms with the devastating loss that they and the rest of us have suffered.” This article hits the mark because Queen Elizabeth talks about how her and her family feel and how they appreciate all the tributes the world has given them, she stays on the

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 “Whoever We Are, Loss Finds us and Defines Us”, by Anna Quindlen, she brings forth the discussion grief's grip on the lives of the living. Wounds of death can heal with the passing of time, but in this instance, the hurt lives on.

Quindlen-a columnist for the New York Times and Newsweek, Pulitzer Prize winner and author-has written six bestselling novels (Every Last One, Rise and Shine, Object Lessons, One True Thing, and Black and Blue) and has
Some might have specific opposite opinions to the argument. Examples of objections could be in three different kinds of forms: ethos, pathos, and logos. Starting with ethos, some might use an example of their own country. For example, in North America, killing a family member for an honor related reason is not accepted by the judicial system, therefore, an honor killing in anywhere is wrong in human conditions. This statement confirms the credibility of the judicial system of North America, but is a fallacy of division. Since some countries with certain cultures actually allow an honor killing if the person is considered to brought dishonor on the family. For those societies, bringing disgrace on the family is more immoral than taking another’s
Alone, the use of only ethos, pathos, or logos would make for a semi-interesting story, but together, they tell a believable account of real events. Beatty makes use of all three techniques to connect with her audience and share her own story as well as hard facts that verify the events. The powerful combination of ethos, pathos, and logos conveys Beatty’s story convincingly.
Doctor Martin Luther King Junior was an expert in persuading his audience. He was a massive advocate for the civil rights movement, and when he saw the injustice being served to the African American community during the Vietnam war, he had to take a stand. In his passage, "Beyond Vietnam- A time to break silence", he uses the rhetorical devices of logos, pathos and ethos to to strengthen his argument for why American involvement in the Vietnam war was unjust. The technique of logos, using logic to persuade an audience, is seen many times throughout this passage.
Pathos/ethos/logos A lot of pathos were used a lot by Donald trump in the debate. For example, trump was trying to persuade to the people that the stop and frisk law would work. He was coming off in the debate, like that would be the only thing that stops the crime in the inner cities. Hillary was also trying to convince to the crowd how trump was a racist (which is true) and how he disrespects women. Donald trump also began interrupting Hillary while she was talking in her debate, when he felt she was saying something that got to him.

In the debate presented by Intelligence Squared, Don’t eat anything with a face, professor Naal Bernard and lectern Gene Bauer argue for this movement.

The documentary “Blackfish” uses Ethos, Pathos, and Logos several times throughout the documentary.

I will use, pathos to appeal to my reader’s emotion. After reading and watching some of the horror stories that have been effecting our country recently worldwide. I believe my readers will be able to feel my plea when I write about the loss of lives and blatant poor training and behavior to achieve this. Logos is an appeal to logic and I hope I am able to convey my argument in a way where it wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to understand where I am coming from. I will use logos by using proper terminology and not a casual tone so my readers will only have to read and use common sense to see what I am trying to convey.
How can one convince someone to completely change their beliefs on something? Ray Comfort an evangelist uses rhetorical appeal to witness to people on streets for The Lord in the “180” video.

This speech does have a purpose, which is to tell the whole world that Britain is united in grief and respect for Princess Diana. Unlike the previous text this one does a good job because it does not bore reader because the speech has a unique style of not telling its real purpose until the near end which forces people to listen to the whole thing. Also it knows the subject and the occasion and in which the two things interact nicely. Also the Queen knows her audience who are the people shocked by the devastating news. As a speaker the Queen uses soothing tone that make her look like she is just regular person in grief for her grand daughter and does not mention any negative details like, if she were to have one, which would be her rage against the photographers or the press. In conclusion there is not that much criticism for this text because the purpose can be identified really easily by the stylistic phrases and knowing all the key elements of rhetoric. Also one of the most important factors that make this text more effective is the shift from “I” to “Our”, this pronoun is significance because it demonstrate the speaker to connect with others which is a key element in persuasion or speech.
