LGBT representation is a touchy subject, and Amy is one of the few brave enough to explore the topic. However, she left more than a few holes in her argument, biting off more than she could chew.

Logos, ethos, and pathos are essential components used in advertising. By learning to recognize logos, ethos, and pathos in advertising, we are able to understand the message and what is being portrayed. (Albert et al, 2014), suggested that Aristotle postulated that a speaker’s ability to effectively convince an audience is constructed on how well the speaker appeals to that audience in three different areas: logos, ethos, and pathos. These appeals together form what Aristotle calls a rhetorical triangle.

When you see a solider in his or her uniform, you are proud that they are serving this country to protect our freedom, securing our country, and defending democracy worldwide.

The Star Wars franchise has been a beloved series from Lucas Films since the first movie aired in 1977. Since then, the directors have composed a saga of movies that are dramatic and awe inspiring to the audience. In order to perceive what makes these films so popular to the audience, we must analyze the techniques used in one of the saga’s latest installments, Star Wars: Rogue One.

In “Re-Composing Space: Composition’s Rhetorical Geography,” Binkley and Smith discuss the origin and limitations of rhetorical theory used within Anglo-American composition. The authors provide five detailed sections to inform the reader. The first section introduces the Greek origin of rhetorical theory used in western civilization, while conversing less dominant rhetorical approaches. The following section, further examines classical rhetoric and the limitations imposed by ancient Greek civilization. The third section provides detail as to how higher education in Anglo-American society emulates the exclusionary practices of the Greek agora. To illustrate this point, a quote from Don Mitchell explains that the Agora, or public, was a specifically

Dr. Neil dGrasse Tyson does not believe that UFOs exist because there is no evidence that supports the idea. Throughout his discussion, Dr. Tyson used a variety of rhetorical appeals to convey his message. Kairos is in effect when the timing is right to evoke a certain response from one's audience, usually the desired response is a call of action. This appeal also takes into account where the location is, when the speech is delivered, and why the topic needs to be addressed. The location of the event seemed to be in an auditorium, which is great because the message is being heard by a lot of people. The speech was delivered within the last ten years because the speaker has an Iphone. In the past ten years there seems to be a strong presence

An American singer-songwriter, Adam Levine, in his song, "Lost Stars"(2014), underscores the establishment of one's identity whenever they have lost their way, facing the numerous choices that confuse them. Levine guides the audience to the main idea by asking various rhetorical questions that allow the reflection on how their situation is; he then starts to reminiscent of the imagery within mind to audiences as components that are being used as a metaphor; he emphasizes his main idea that everyone has potential, but not yet noticed by ending up the song with the repetition of a particular sentence. Levine encourages the audience not to be depressed on the bad consequences instead, promote the use of their own identity each person possesses, as

In the article,” Don’t Mess With the Stars and Stripes”, Leepson uses Logos to make his argument more reliable. He says,” No. 1 A national symbol looms large in the social, political and emotional hearts and minds of millions of Americans. The logos technique he used when he stated this was definition because he is making a claim about the meaning of something. Saying this, he is making a statement saying that the flag and the national anthem are important and gives people a feeling of emotion. Also, another way Leepson uses logos is when he states,” The flag and “The Star-Spangled Banner” — which is nothing if not an ode to the flag — are de rigueur elements of every type of political event and nearly every sporting event from Little League

On November 2016, a representative speaker from Boeing, a famous aviation company, came to Texas A&M University to talk about basics of the company.

Imagine the sounds of a simple cello. Its delicate, light hearted tone blends with another cello’s deep and dark counter melody. The rough, throaty notes invade your eardrums, softly at first, then slowly building more sound to the main tune. The rise and fall of the notes begin to correspond together, soon adding a quaint violin to accompany the leading cello. The alluring instrumental of Sleeping at Last’s song “Saturn” rings confidently using the sounds of two cellos and a violin to sing their lullaby. A piano and subtle vocals are added in to finish off the phrase, only to lead into the smooth voice of Ryan O’Neal ready to tell his audience a story that will surely stick if listened to intently.

Just like Kenneth Burke identifies in Dramatism, which is an interpretive communication studies theory he developed for analyzing human relationships, these strategies assess how humans deal with experiences (Blakesley, 2002). Audiences are most fully persuaded when characters demonstrate a certain instance to them. There are three kinds of strategic appeals that appear in different scenes of the Big Bang Theory. Ethos leaves the audience thinking that the character is credible based on the mastery that they employ and the skills they demonstrate while they play their part. Pathos, on the other hand, stirs human emotions through metaphors, irony, similes, puns, hyperboles, and other rhetorical devices to sway the audience (Blakesley, 2002). Logos is the third appeal that relies on facts and figures to support an actor’s claims or
