When my family was leaving for America, everyone was really sad. I understood that they were saddened because we were leaving, but I wasn’t. I was excited that we were about to go to the airport and actually go on an airplane. I knew that it was going to be a long time before I see my aunts, uncles, and cousins again, but I didn’t want my memory of my first flight to be filled me wiping tears from my eyes and worrying that I can’t find tissues for my running nose. I was instead very excited that we were about to go halfway around the world inside a big hunk of metal shaped like a bird. I was ready to be surrounded by blonde haired Americans speaking another the language the school system has taught me and the language my favorite tv show, Cartoon Network speaks. I was about to experience all these new things and I didn’t want sadness to play any part in it. …show more content…
Microwaves were rare in the Philippines because there’s no use for them since the whole country feels like it’s inside a microwave. Every new gadget was something to explore and tinker with. I still remember being shocked at how there was such a thing as a garage door remote since I thought it had to be attached to wires for it to work. We didn’t use the remote as much as I predicted we would because we didn’t have to drive to school; we got picked up and dropped off by bus. The school was really different and strange because the students have to change classrooms for different classes. It was unlike the Philippines where the students get to stay in one classroom and the teachers move around. I liked the American school way because there was a bigger pool of people to meet rather than just one

    Pathos is a powerful tool used to invoke any emotions from joy, anger, jealousy to love that helps the writer connect with the reader. The slogans that I choose were the “Reach out and touch someone” ad for AT&T and the “Think different” ad for Apple. The “Reach out and touch someone” ad for AT&T was the perfect slogan because just about everyone had access to a phone and had someone they wanted to talk to no matter the distance. In the ad a young man moves away from home and calls his mom trying to hide the fact that he was home sick. AT&T successfully connects with anyone who has ever moved, had someone move away or just wanted to be in contact with a loved one.…

    The goal of argumentative writing is to persuade your audience that one’s ideas are valid, or more valid than someone else's; therefore, the use of appeals of logos, ethos, and pathos are critical to making the argument more compelling to the audience. The best way to appeal to the audience through the usage of ethos would be to share my personal experience being abused by my ex-boyfriend who is also my older son’s father. I can also conduct interviews of battered women and use their testimonies and the experiences to support my argument, because we would all qualify as sources’ of credibility. Using logos would support the claim presented through the facts and statistics gathered during research to help strengthen the argument. For example,…
