Although Jane E. Brody did create an interesting tone within her piece and cited examples from a chiropractor, a San Diego State University study, and a report in The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, Amy Cuddy's use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos aided in her editorial's ability to not only inform, but compel the reader, thus creating the more credible argument.

Cuddy states, "When we’re sad, we slouch. We also slouch when we feel scared or powerless", which provokes the reader to contemplate on a more emotional level how posture has affected their emotions in this way, thus further connecting herself to her audience. She also states, "Ironically, while many of us spend hours every day using small mobile devices to increase our productivity and efficiency, interacting with these objects, even for short periods of time, might do just the opposite, reducing our assertiveness and undermining our productivity". This statement produces a sense of concern in the reader, provoking the emotional response she's looking for to fuel a possible change in their own posture. By being able to use pathos to shape her argument, she better connects with her audience and makes an impact on their thoughts. This establishes her piece as more superior over Brody’s, whose editorial does not make enough use of this necessary key in provoking the

All authors, at varying levels, write with purpose. Ever written work has a purpose, varying from artistic creativity to academic and professional curiosity. Although the purpose is evident to the author, the reader may find difficulty determining what that purpose is. In the case of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) public release on Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the document’s purpose, as well as its intended audience, can be determined through an introspective analysis. One can use the three rhetorical appeals of logos, pathos, and ethos to determine the purpose of the CDC’s document, and give one’s self insight into the audience for which it is intended.
Ford uses the persuasive appeal of pathos in Paragraph 16 to appeal to the audience's sense of fear. By saying "These are the people who are falling victims to the propaganda of Fear today.". He said that because people fear change and are feeling victimized by it. Words like "fear" and "falling victims" show that people are afraid of change.

Kennedy, who had only been inaugurated a couple months before, gave a speech in Houston Texas, at the Rice University, in front of a big audience, about the “Race to Space”. In this speech the president whether intentionally or not included all three forms of persuasion. The president wanted to convince the people that being the first country in space, would mean a great deal for them, that if they were the first ones out in space, the peace would be kept, and that space would not be used as a weapon, but for scientific knowledge only.

The University of Texas at Austin holds the following two sculptures which remind us of the power of artistry: Martin Luther King, Jr (1999) and Blue Woman in Black Chair (1981). The former monument, by Ana Koh-Varilla and Jeffrey Varilla, stands in the East Mall and the latter, by George Segal, sits on the 2nd floor of the Blanton Museum. Both sculptures represent a distinct human figure yet, differ in their components in relation to their size/scale, subject matter and figure/drapery. Regarding size/ scale the Varillas create a larger than life sized bronze, figure placed on a sturdy pedestal, demonstrating the concept of authority and influence.

“Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction” (Frank). Companies attempt to take advantage of individuals by presenting convincing images and text, so consumers do not have to do their research.

Earlier this year when I made a video about how to plan your week, several viewers commented on the terrible Quasimodo-like hunched back I displayed. As a guy who spends much of his time sitting slumped over a laptop, I was aware I had developed a terrible slouch. And I wasn’t proud of it.
