The four texts here all introductions to rhetoric. I found most of the text to be very effective in contributing to rhetorical learning. It uses all the right ways to appeal to ethos, logos, and pathos. The examples show how the speech is written and what kind of reaction it wants. It is building and appealing to those rhetorical devices. These will have examples and thoughts of how it all is set. The first Article given was “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon” by the times. The article shows on how much pride they took on this mission. It was a major step for humanity because it's simply a major accomplishment.

This also is based on pathos because it's all about emotion and the tragic event. For example “Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery.” this appeals to Logos because there wasn't a way to get them back. It shows reasoning on why he said this because if anything went wrong the crowd wouldn't have hope, but would know they knew from the start. This also appeals to pathos due to the fact it controls the audience's emotion. There isn’t any hope left and there isn’t anything they can do about it. They would be mourned by the entire nation, family and …show more content…
This is towards the novelist first-hand experience watching a rocket launch happen. It can relate to logos because she was watching nearby and with a group. This shows how she had access to this and would have you thinking she meant a lot to be able to watch it. It also compares to pathos because the way she expresses her feelings on the experience. For example, when the NASA guide tour said “No matter what discomforts and expenses you had to bear to come here,” said a NASA guide to a group of guests, at the conclusion of a tour of the Space Center on Cape Kennedy, on July 15, 1969, “there will be seven minutes tomorrow morning that will make you feel it was worth it.” after that she said it was. This is showing how much this actually meant for her and how it was all worth

You must be prepared to change everything about yourself - shape, size, color, species affiliation, everything - and to do so repeatedly. That’s much easier said than done, because the process of change is random”.

Anyone can follow allow the reasoning, therefore showing that the logos is effective. Bryson also appeals to pathos, or a reader’s sense of emotion, Generally, appealing to pathos involves something sad or disturbing to get a reaction.
Audiences are able to change their perspective through them. Logos which use through facts, case, studies, and statistics express rational or appeal. Pathos expresses emotion such as fear, envy, patriotism, empathy, or inspiration etc. Ethos expresses ethical
Discourse Analysis and Rhetoric The two articles, The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle and The Truth about Bermuda Triangle, present a strong analysis of viewpoints by strongly using rhetorical appeals as well as rhetoric devices. The articles are meant for general readership and as such a simple and non-technical language is utilized which make the articles easily understood by the general public. The stand point of the two articles is similar and is almost presented in the same manner with the authors debunking the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle by digging holes in the evidence fronted in support of the mystery. The strong use of rhetorical appeals makes the stand point of the articles convincing to the readers.
George Watsky, or better known by his stage name Watsky, is a man who is never afraid to voice his opinion. Whether it’s through rap, slam poetry, or one of his songs, he is never afraid to speak his mind. “Tiny Glowing Screens Part 2” by Watsky is just one of his many songs in which he does just that. He uses a darker tone in this song than most of his other songs because he is trying to convey a darker message. Watsky wrote this song in response to seeing how self-absorbed people have become from using technology.
Logos, or logical appeal, uses a clear line of reasoning supported by evidence, such as facts or data. Pathos, or emotional appeal, uses loaded or charged language and other devices to arouse emotions. Using these, he influenced people to follow him.

Logos, Pathos and Ethos Public speaking through speeches has three general purposes, including informing, persuading, and entertaining (O'Hair, Stewart, & Rubenstein, 2015). When speaking to persuade, the speaker can leverage a variety of methods, including the three artistic proofs represented by Greek words (PathosEthosLogos.com, n.d.). The three modes of persuasion include logos, pathos, and ethos, each of which can be used to convince audiences of the speech and speaker’s credibility (PathosEthosLogos.com, n.d.).

What is Doublespeak? Doublespeak is an old language that grew in the past and show the positive aspects of negativity. William Lutz wrote a book called, “Doublespeak: From Revenue Enhancement to Terminal Living” (The World of Doublespeak 347).

Well, this country is a hypocrite! They try and make you think they set you free by calling you a second-class citizen. No, you're nothing but a 20th century slave.” This quote ties pathos and logos together. However, the main reason that pathos is evident is because he is clearly trying to make his audience angry in agreement with him by saying that in their current situation they are
Aristotle claims that rhetoric is a strong vital part in a speech that is used to attract an audience. He defines it as “the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.” Rhetoric has the power to be presented in almost any given subject; it has no given or definite idea. In different settings there are certain ways to use rhetoric through the three modes of persuasion: ethos, logos, and pathos. The appeals of using these modes occur differently given the type of situation.
The use of ethos, pathos, and logos in any type of writing or speaking can create a commanding and arresting effect on the reader/listener.

The passage Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv was written because of his stand on the separation between people and nature. Through crafty thoughts and examples he mainly directed it towards parents of our generation. No doubt that he thinks that all this new technology is changing our childhoods in a bad way. For example children of these days are plugged in most of the time to a screen of some sort. This is decreasing our children's knowledge of creativity and taking in the beauty of nature.
