‘Various way Elizabeth and Fredrick use pathos. Discuss’ In Aristotle’s book of collected lectures titled ‘Rhetoric’, Aristotle declares that there are three different ways to persuade a reader. The first way is to appeal to an audience by logical facts or logos. The second way is to appeal to a reader by using mortality or ethos into the writing. Lastly, Aristotle claims that you need emotion or ethos to persuade an audience. In Elizabeth I’s Speech to the troops at Tillbury and Frederick Douglass the Church and Prejudice: Both apply pathos in their speeches in order to gather their supporters behind them.

Even though multiple individuals believed that she was ‘illegitimate by many Europeans’ (Colvin). Although the Europeans did not feel she was illegitimate: Elizabeth uses pathos to gain her followers trust and trail behind her into war. Elizabeth also uses pathos in her speech to encourage her troops to gather as one as she will be the one to reward, judge and be their general as someone invades their borders. Frederick Douglass also used pathos in his speech to persuade the audience in his favor, similarly to Elizabeth, though Frederick touched upon his prejudice and inequality between blacks and
Aristotle came up with three appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos, all of which are found in all forms of writing, speeches, movies, television shows, and life within itself. Frederick Douglass used all three of these rhetoric devices in writing his narrative to tell about both his life as an American slave and his cause over ten decades ago. He uses these devices to identify himself to the readers, to bring emotion out of the readers, and to persuade the readers.
The use of LEGOs is an extraordinary thing, but it is shocking to see exactly how controversial a small toy can become. People of all ages have been found to enjoy this toy. Companies and organizations such as MIT and NASA have even found a use for them. The toy has become known as a child’s imagination tool and has not been exclusively used for adults.

Passion is a necessary trait all excellent speakers use to persuade their audiences. A passionate speaker uses pathos to sway his or her audience to the speaker’s side by playing with the audience’s emotions. Before pathos is used to move the audience emotionally, it is smart for the speaker to use ethos to build good credibility. With credibility, the speaker has the ability to make the audience trust him or her. That trust is beneficial to help the audience believe what the speaker is saying. Logos is another trait that a strong speaker must make use of to show intellect. It is the appeal to logic. Logic is needed to show the audience that the speaker knows his or her facts and can effectively back them up. Ethos, pathos, and logos are three vital aspects of a good speech. Elizabeth I uses all three appeals subtly throughout her speech, using pathos the most. The queen also uses rhetorical devices to emphasize her points. Through the use of amplification, asyndeton, and climax, Elizabeth I reassures and inspires her troops with her compelling speech.
After she established the bond, Elizabeth strengthens it with a promise and displays her own self-courage. Women in power were not always great leaders, and were seen as weak in war. To oppose the view of women being weak in war, Elizabeth uses pathos in her speech to present herself as not only a queen but a fighter as
As first stated by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, the art of rhetoric in persuasive speaking is based upon the usage of the three key components, logos, ethos and pathos. Logos representing the usage of logic and reasoning within the speech or text, ethos representing the writer or speaker’s credibility and pathos representing how the speaker or author establishes an emotional connection with the audience. In former president Bill Clinton’s 2012 democratic national convention he relies heavily upon Aristotle’s persuasive speaking techniques to help convince the participants of the convention and those watching at home to reelect the nominee of the Democratic Party, current
Rhetoric is the art of using language to persuade an audience. Writers and speakers often use rhetoric appeals. Aristotelian Rhetoric appeals are used in arguments to support claims and counter opposing arguments. Rhetoric used four different approaches to capture its audience’s attention: pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos bases its appeal on provoking strong emotion from an audience. Ethos builds its appeal based on good moral character of the writer or speaker and relies on good sense and good will to influence its audience. Logos persuades its audience through the use of deductive and inductive reasoning. The kiaros approach requires a combination of creating and recognizing the right time and right place for making the argument in the
In the book Julius Caesar there are two people, Brutus and Antony, who express there emotions using ethos, pathos, and logos. After explaining their thoughts on the idea of Caesar getting killed to the Romans, the crowd turned their thoughts on who they believe is correct. Brutus uses facts about Caesar and what he did or was going to do to turn the crowds opinion against him. Antony uses facts, personal opinion, and verbal irony to show the Romans what he believes is right. After examining the ethos, pathos, and logos in each speech, it is clear that Antony's speech was the most persuasive.
Pathos is often employed in an attempt to win over the audience with emotion of some kind. While logos utilizes facts to convince an audience of an argument, pathos is utilized by speakers to entice an audience with their argument. By understanding the use of pathos, I can better understand how emotional appeals affect an intended audience (Lunsford et al. 95).
The least effective text is “Handwriting Matters; Cursive Doesn’t” by Kate Gladstone. In the text the method of appeal that is used most effectively in the text is logos. Kate Gladstone used logos the most throughout the passage and she didn’t use ethos and pathos as much. The three methods of appeal weren’t balanced throughout the passage which made her text less effective. A piece of evidence that demonstrates this is found towards the middle of the passage, “Adults increasingly abandon cursive. In 2012, handwriting teachers were surveyed at a conference hosted by Zaner-Bloser, a publisher of cursive textbooks. Only 37 percent wrote in cursive; another 8 percent printed. The majority, 55 percent, wrote a hybrid; some elements resembling print-writing,
Queen Elizabeth uses the woman like senses in her to make her speech to be emotional yet uplifting. In regards she uses the phrase, “I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman”. She ultimately uses this parlance to employ her bodyful actions, to use this as a defense yet comfort to these valiant,assiduous soldiers. Elizabeth uses her gender to scheme her words to her spectators; women are known for their poignant side therefore she displays this to the audience with her declamations. Many women use their women instincts in their times of endearment, Jk Rowling gave a speech in 2008 and used the phrase,” We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already”. Jk
I find logos from the text, it is in the beginning of the text. The author talks about how many books that her writes and it also has specific years and name on the text. In my opinion, the most obvious example of the ethos is the sentences that the author’s writing, because the author is the professional person in the writing area, so that I think she has the power to let reader believes what she said and what she think. There also have some instances to firm the main idea. In the third paragraph, the author uses the feeling of people to represent sometimes people wants to be the person like them, for example “people tend to look at …… they have to tell” some of people desire to be the writer because they think they can get lots of money.
“Character may almost be called the effective means of persuasion.” This was a quote written by Aristotle who also came up with the rhetorical principles. The rhetorical principles, also known as ethos, pathos, logos, is used as the key in effective persuasion. In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Cassius persuades Brutus original view on Caesar by using ethos, pathos, logos.
Fresh Voices: Composition at Cal Poly stresses the importance of utilizing rhetorical strategies to effectively persuade readers through the process of writing. Of the numerous persuasive techniques mentioned in the reading, I was most intrigued by the prevalence of pathos in many forms of argumentative approaches, such as the Aristotelian approach. In contrast to Rogerian’s style of argumentation, the focal point of this method heavily relies on attacking the opposition to win the support of the audience. To gain a better understanding of pathos’ role in the technique, it is necessary to turn to an example to dissect, such as Adolf Hitler’s infamous speech. In it, Hitler incorporates Aristotle’s style of argument, where he attacks and places
The first step to successful writing is to understand the key components of ethos, pathos, and logos which contribute to the rhetorical aspect of one’s writing. Entering the course with a basic knowledge of these three rhetorical concepts, I learned how to further effectively analyze them and use them properly within my own writing. I learned how important it is to master the use of ethos, pathos, and logos because it is the key to connecting my writing with my audience in order to better persuade them and create a more effective argument. Without the use of rhetorical elements, an argument can lack that connection with its audience, therefore creating a less effective argument and defeating its own purpose. Alongside learning how to use rhetorical
Queen Elizabeth I’s speech was called “Speech to the Troops at Tilbury”, written in 1588. She gave her speech in order to make her people fight against Spain, and to prevent them from invading the border of Britain. In her speech, she used pathos, words with strong connotation, and plain folk.
