Cheerleading Ethos Pathos Logos

This year in ENGL 1301, we’ve been discussing what specific elements make up a good argument. By using logos, ethos and pathos appeals, it is possible to reason with a large variety of people instead of one specific audience. In this essay, I will establish the fact that I participated in varsity cheerleading by talking about the skills I learned, my accumulated knowledge and sharing some of my personal experiences.
In order to demonstrate that I belonged in this community, I had to prove that I had the skills to become a cheerleader. I used logos to prove to my cheer coach and fellow squad members that I had earned my spot.
For example, I was expected to do well whenever we learned a new routine. There was added pressure on me due to my dance

It is true that any fan can sit in the bleachers and root for their team. But knowing the chants by heart does not make them a cheerleader. Yelling along does not necessarily mean that they know all of the correct counts and motions that correspond to each cheer or that they are flexible enough to do the splits. Or that they can be in synch with the all the other members of the cheer squad at all times. In addition, another important skill required for cheerleading is stunting. Specific training is required to learn how to stunt correctly and safely. If something goes wrong in a stunt, there is a very high risk of someone injuring themselves. Communication is also crucial in a stunt group in order to fix any stability issues that occur when in a stunt. In order to be a cheerleader, it is necessary to have a loud voice, a strong memory, good timing, flexibility, and excellent communication skills. Since I had a traditional dance background prior to starting cheerleading, I was very flexible, could remembers long routines and was able to stay in synch with the rest of the squad. Although I had never stunted before, I was placed in a stunt group with three of my best friends, which made communication with them effortless. My prior relevant experience and my bond with my stunt group allowed me to quickly pick up on the skills I needed to become a part of that

My best friend was captain of the cheer squad and asked for my opinion on a routine she came up with. It was a really cool looking dance, but there were a few problems. To start, some of the moves were not something everyone on the squad could do. While my friend was a great dancer, others were not as talented as she was. On top of that, the music was not entirely ‘clean’. Normally, this would not be an issue, except for the fact that we went to a small private school. School administration would throw a temper tantrum if any cuss words made their way into pep rally music. I told her that I liked it, but I voiced my concerns about those things. She was becoming really frustrated because the routine did not look as interesting without some of the moves in it. I reminded her that it would be better to have a simple routine that everyone was good at than a harder routine that most people would struggle with. It make not have look as impressive as she had initially wanted, but it would ultimately best for the
