    Rhetorically Analyzing a Controversial Matter Parents are often telling their children to “turn off the TV and go outside” due to the belief that TV does nothing to stimulate growth and development. Society agrees with the views of the common parent; television sedates the mind rather than engages it. Steven Johnson, a credited author, challenges this controversial topic, arguing that more complex TV shows actually require intellectual labour. However, the successfulness of Johnson’s argument can be rhetorically analyzed through his target audience and his use of mode, style, tone, and the three rhetorical appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos.…

    Martin Luther King’s “Letter to Birmingham Jail” is incredibly persuasive. It forces the reader to truly think upon Dr. King’s arguments regarding the clergymen 's pleas to discontinue fighting for equality in the area of that time period. He reinforces how these men have underestimated his reasons for being put in jail and explains how seldom he replies to those who can’t see eye to eye to his vision and goals. He explains how these men may be generally good citizens; their criticism is just a fundamental aspect of how scared they are for him.…

    In “Both parties can win if we cut healthcare costs,” by Arthur Garson, the author attempts to persuade intended bipartisan readers to find common ground in the health care debate. In “How healthcare controls us” by Robert Samuelson the author attempts to persuade intended republican readers to take a stand on how to reform current health care overspending. While Samuelson and Garson appropriately appeal to their respective audiences’ emotions, Samuelson is more likely than Garson to succeed in accomplishing the goal of getting the American voters to take a stand on healthcare reform because the writer presents himself as someone the intended readers will more readily identify with and offers evidence that readers will find more compelling. First, Samuelson’s strong ethos is due to his superior education on specific topics compared to his target audience’s education; he easily earns ethos through a teaching role simplifying explanations to complex ideas that thus allowed the target audience to better perform their duty as citizens (making educated stances on political issues).…

    People always ask ‘If there was a fire, what three items would you save?’ but the truth is, all your experiences and memories will never amount to those three things. In the article “Buy Experiences, Not Things,” James Hamblin uses ethos, logos, and pathos to explore the idea that those who buy experiential things rather than material things are generally happier people. His intended audience is meant to be the younger generation of millenniums. Through his use of these rhetorical devices, he is able to make the argument that buying an experience, such as a vacation or concert, generates more happiness than buying a possession, such as a computer or clothes.…

Rick Reilly writes his article, “Nothing But Nets,” on the back page of popular sports magazine, Sports Illustrated, to request money from his audience, so that mosquito nets may be purchased for African countries.…

    This shows us a good use of ethos; another use of ethos is when Obama sites the text by saying “Clem once said.” Obama uses pathos when he says that Clem is a good man and then he says that a good man is the best thing to hope for when you are eulogized. This gives emotions because it would not be a very nice thought to be eulogized and what is said about you not so good. He used the next sentence to show us credibility and emotions. When Obama talks about the accomplishments that Clem accomplished throughout his life time he shows logic because he said that not everybody has to be as accomplished as Clem at the time when he got out of school.…

    Men who indulge in philanthropy and maintain the poor as well as they maintain themselves because it’s a moral calling to do good are not necessarily good men. Henry Thoreau, author of “Walden”; argues that philanthropy is “overrated” and that it is selfish to “Stand between any man and his genius”. Thoreau emphasizes the gift of living and cherishing accomplishments stating them as “Blessings to mankind”, he uses figurative language,ethos, and pathos appeals, to demonstrate how he views society. One method Thoreau uses to expose the fallacies of philanthropy is his use of figurative language to develop a fervent but disparaging tone. Thoreau uses personification to give the act of benevolence an odor, when he states “There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted”.…
