    We have long been fascinated by the often contentious relationship that exists between Mankind and nature. Since that time, nature has often been mythologized on screen to such a degree that it is ascribed its own personality and motivations, and is alternately portrayed as a benevolent savior, as well as an antagonist of sorts. Nature is at once our protector and our tormentor, providing the sustenance we require to live, while at the same time assaulting us with powerful storms and virulent diseases that serve as a reminder that our position as the dominant species on this planet is an illusion at best. This basic yet combative relationship is the central theme that lies at the heart of both Into the Wild and Grizzly Man, both films are…

    This image is very credible because it comes from a Major corporation called “The Nature Conservancy“ which is dedicated to protecting the rainforest. This image uses logos very strongly. In this advertisement the right decision is to help put an end to the destruction of the rainforests, although it may not not have that many words the image definitely speaks for itself there is defiantly chaos towards the back of that picture and it's pretty obvious that something needs to be done before it's too late. I Think this image does a great job making people realize that there is definitely something they can do to help and that doing something about this problem is the clear and obvious choice. Logos Pathos and ethos aren't the only rhetorical pieces this image uses.…
