In chapter 3, he talks about Colonel Lloyd and gives a very detailed description about him. Another example of the use of ethos is when he talks about Mr. Gore, the man who replaced Mr. Hopkins.

Within the video, the farm owner uses pathos by stating the fact the chickens never see chlorine on his farm and do not get plump as they do in large factories.

The picture I chose, shows an image that is in the public eye of today’s society, the image of smoking and how people can be affected by it. In this picture, viewers can see how smoking can really affect one’s life and how the addiction can be harmful to not only the outside of the body, but also the inside. This photo shows a controversial side of the appeal that people become addicted to cigarettes and, even after trying to go cold turkey, some people still cannot get over the addiction. The first thing that is noticed is the noose. The noose is being wrapped around the woman’s neck comparing the cigarette to the noose in attempt to show death.

It goes on to explain how the protein and the calcium help make the body better and help in creating a body like Panettiere’s.
