I viewed a TEDx Talked called 'Everything you've ever wanted to know about coffee', which is about the broad impact that coffee has and what the major points of making coffee are. Chandler Graf, a biochemistry major and barista, created the video to educate the young adults in the public about all things coffee. This is why in this video they use quick clips to ensure the audience doesn't get bored easily. They cut from clip to clip every ten seconds or so, which is what they do in music videos to keep the audience’s attention. The creator also uses pathos at the beginning of the video by bringing up common and most likely nostalgic examples of people enjoying coffee. This is proven when the speaker says "...seeing my grandpa with his same old mug, drinking black coffee and reading the newspaper." This is a story that a lot can relate to; reminiscing about a loved one, passed or not, that enjoyed their morning cup every day. This message does leave out the …show more content…
The creator gives information that doesn't necessarily aid me in my search, but it is information that I am glad was given to me. I am fascinated by how brewing methods (there is more than one), and the altitude at which the coffee is grown impacts the taste of the coffee. Who knew that "...in Indonesia most coffees are grown at very low altitudes...at low altitudes we have lots of oxygen, we have lots of carbon dioxide...it makes a very traditional cup." This information clues us into the fact that coffee must have a lot of oxygen to **render** a traditional/**neutral** cup of coffee. This means that the higher altitude the coffee is grown the further one would get from a traditional cup of coffee. I have an **appreciation** for the information provided, but I would have to find a way to squeeze it into my paper. I don't know that I want to add 'fun facts' to my paper, if the information proves itself to be useful I will add
Jonathan Kozol revealed the early period’s situation of education in American schools in his article Savage Inequalities. It seems like during that period, the inequality existed everywhere and no one had the ability to change it; however, Kozol tried his best to turn around this situation and keep track of all he saw. In the article, he used rhetorical strategies effectively to describe what he saw in that situation, such as pathos, logos and ethos.
In the book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer wrote about Christopher McCandless, a nature lover in search for independence, in a mysterious and hopeful experience. Even though Krakauer tells us McCandless was going to die from the beginning, he still gave him a chance for survival. As a reader I wanted McCandless to survive. In Into the Wild, Krakauer gave McCandless a unique perspective. He was a smart and unique person that wanted to be completely free from society. Krakauer included comments from people that said McCandless was crazy, and his death was his own mistake. However, Krakauer is able to make him seem like a brave person. The connections between other hikers and himself helped in the explanation of McCandless’s rational actions. Krakauer is able to make McCandless look like a normal person, but unique from this generation. In order for Krakauer to make Christopher McCandless not look like a crazy person, but a special person, I will analyze the persuading style that Krakauer used in Into the Wild that made us believe McCandless was a regular young adult.
Coffee is a truly a mythological treasure. It serves the dual functions of waking one up and providing one with relaxation. It is both acid and base, bitter and sweet, caustic and comforting. It is used for an array of purposes: to soothe, to give energy, to lend fortitude, to bring people together. Sometimes it is ascribed almost supernatural healing properties. In Mario Puzo’s The Fortunate Pilgrim, coffee takes these roles and more: the drinking of coffee is an immensely important ritual that serves a myriad of social functions and responds to a wide range of human emotions.
Whether you get you a venti, grande or a tall at Starbucks they hand you just a cup right? In the article “Starbucks Cups Much Abrew About Nothing” the author explains how the uproar has grown about the latest Christmas cup that has hit the stores nationwide. In the Hartford Courant, published on November 17th, the article is gearing towards people who drink Starbucks regularly or people who wait all year for the special holiday drinks and explain to them the trap made by the liberal media to make the “Christians look stupid.” The author delivers the article in a conversational and organized piece paired with vivid sarcasm to express their amazement with all the hype over a
Advertisements are a way to get people to see their product or hear what they have to say about it or just what they have to say in general. This commercial was made by Budweiser. Budweiser is a company that makes and sells beer to adults. Their commercial shows that just because they sell alcohol does not mean they are okay with drunk driving. The commercial uses both pathos and ethos to show us what they want us to take away from it. They use this commercial that plays with our emotions to show us a piece of how we would feel if we lost someone, and its goal is to make us want to make sure no one that cares for us will ever feel that way. It was shown at a time that makes it most effective, during the super bowl while people are drinking
Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but
In the real world there will always be someone that loves a product for many reasons. But there will also be someone that hates that same product for all the same reasons. When creating Leafy Latte, there was only one audience in mind: a class of freshman with varying likes and dislikes. The task at hand could not be described as effortless by any of my classmates. I gathered some group members and we got to work, deciding to focus our beverage on the current change of seasons from summer to fall. Most of our media revolved around the attractive scenery of fall, yellows, reds, and oranges falling from the trees. We brought in an idea that everyone could relate to: the basic white girl of fall. Using strategies of pathos, juxtaposition, and puns we attempted to become the new it drink of the new season. Although there was an overall appeal to the look and design of Leafy Latte, the remainder of the rhetorical strategy did not connect with the intended consumers.
Today’s economy and the environment are hurting due to the lack of nurture we have been providing. Conventional farming rules the world of agriculture, but not without a fight from organic farming. Organic farming is seen as the way of farming that might potentially nurture our nature back to health along with the added benefit of improving our own health. With her piece “Organic farming healthier, more efficient than Status Quo,” published in the Kansas State Collegian on September 3, 2013, writer Anurag Muthyam brings forth the importance behind organic farming methods. Muthyam is a senior at Kansas State University working towards a degree in Management. This piece paints the picture of how organic farming methods
Jack Shakley’s “Indian Mascots- You’re Out” published on the op-ed page of the LA times, he impacted readers about the argument over professional and college sport teams whose mascots are using Native American names. Shakley is the former chair of the Los Angeles city/county Native American Commission. The author describes the history of using Indian mascots and how it hurt a group of people. He wants readers to know that it is necessary to remove Native American names and mascots from college and professional teams. Jack Shakley uses three strategies to present his argument to show his attitude to remove Indian mascots in teams.
In a quote by John Mill, “Does fining a criminal show want of respect for property, or imprisoning him, for personal freedom? Just as unreasonable is it to think that to take the life of a man who has taken that of another is to show want of regard for human life. We show, on the contrary, most emphatically our regard for it, by the adoption of a rule that he who violates that right in another forfeits it for himself, and that while no other crime that he can commit deprives him of his right to live, this shall.” Everyone’s life is precious, but at what price? Is it okay to let a murderer to do as they please? Reader, please take a moment and reflect on this issue. The issue will always be a conflict of beliefs and moral standards. The topic
The movie trailer “Rio 2”, shows a great deal of pathos, ethos, and logos. These rhetorical appeals are hidden throughout the movie trailer; however, they can be recognized if paying attention to the details and montage of the video. I am attracted to this type of movies due to the positive life messages and the innocent, but funny personifications from the characters; therefore, the following rhetorical analysis will give a brief explanation of the scenes, point out the characteristics of persuasive appeals and how people can be easily persuaded by using this technique, and my own interpretation of the message presented in the trailer.
The Letter from Birmingham Jail was written by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April of 1963. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of several civil rights activists who were arrested in Birmingham Alabama, after protesting against racial injustices in Alabama. Dr. King wrote this letter in response to a statement titled A Call for Unity, which was published on Good Friday by eight of his fellow clergymen from Alabama. Dr. King uses his letter to eloquently refute the article. In the letter dr. king uses many vivid logos, ethos, and pathos to get his point across. Dr. King writes things in his letter that if any other person even dared to write the people would consider them crazy.
In a persuasive essay, rhetorical appeals are a very important tool to influence the audience toward the author’s perspective. The three rhetorical appeals, which were first developed by Aristotle, are pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos appeals to the emotions of the audience, logos appeals to the facts or evidence and ethos exhibits the credibility of the writer.
Pepsi is a well known carbonated soft drink that is sold all around the world. With a net worth of millions, Pepsi has featured many famous artists in our society, including the late singer and songwriter Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson, who was already at the peak of his stardom, had partnered with Pepsi for a commercial specifically aimed towards the younger audience who they referred to the ‘new generation.’
In countless homes and numerous cultures, drinking morning coffee is a staple routine. One can drink it alone at home, in a car en route to work or school, or stop at a coffee shop or café and enjoy it among other people. In developing my routine this year, I chose the latter practice. Every morning I arrive at a local coffee shop, smell the same aromas, order the same drink, sit in the same chair, and observe the same people who continue their morning customs as well. For several months now, my mornings have consisted of this, and every morning, I would mainly observe one person; an old man who has become somewhat of a fixture at this coffee shop and who has not changed his routine as far as I have witnessed. He is already there when I arrive every morning, sitting alone at the small table for two in the corner by the window, drinking his small cup of black coffee, and reading the newspaper. He is on a first-name basis with the workers and owner, and often chats with some of the other regulars. After months of polite smiles, quiet “good mornings”, and creating a background of this old man in my own mind, I finally get the courage to approach him. I start the conversation with him about our similar morning routine, and it gradually develops into a soft and informal interview.
