Letter Explication

My dad's native language is not English, it is his fourth language . In order to make it easier for him, every section of this letter is simplified and shorter in order for my dad to understand most of it.

In the first paragraph, I wanted to establish my ethos to show my dad that I did not blindly pick a popular and expensive car. To do this I start off by stating that I have been doing research what particular car that I wanted my dad to get me. I specifically stated that I did research on this topic due to the fact that my dad is all about doing research. I proceeded by stating that I have gone through a plethora of car related website. Just before I reveal the car I wanted, I stated, " I have spent hours …show more content…

Being a part of an Asian family I knew that logos would be my strongest appeal. Originally, my paragraph regarding logos was just one huge paragraph. For my dad's sake, I split up the paragraph into two different topics in order to lessen the confusion in my …show more content…

I started off with the same method as the other paragraph. I concluded that my dad at this point would just be wondering, "why would I even buy this car for him". From that point on I started to write context that would appeal to pathos. I started off by stating how I have been behaving for the past year. In the sentence, I included both good deeds and mistakes. There is a reason why I included my mistakes, my dad is keen on me acknowledging my mistakes. I thought if I did not include that my letter would just crumble from there. So by adding that detail I aimed to furthermore appeal to his emotions. The next sentence I wrote about my academic performances. Like most Asian households, grades are basically what every Asian parent cared for. For my dad, he has always been very rewarding when I do well academically. There would always be some sort of reward if I am doing well at school. That is the sole reason I added the sentence about awarding me the Tesla as a gift for all I have planned for my future academic wise. The sentence stating how I would continue my efforts in school was included to back up my previous statement regarding my academic performance. The rest of the paragraph appeal heavily to pathos, it includes a personal anecdote as an effort to create Energia. The anecdote covers an experience that my dad and I had regarding driving. I included this due to how memorable this event was to both my

  • Langston's Ethos Pathos Logos

    221 Words  | 1 Pages

    “When the Negro Was in Vogue from The Big Sea” by Langston Hughes was mainly about an ironic situation in which white, despite repressing the black community, “set up shop” in the majority black Harlem neighborhood. Also because the wealthy and influential were embracing the black culture, while outside of the Harlem neighborhood they oppressed them. One could conclude that the audience of this would be anyone unaware of the 1920’s and how some of the African Americans were treated. One could also conclude from the passage that the purpose of this was to give Langston’s perspective of how hypocritical America was at the time about racism. Whites felt that blacks were beneath them but wanted to go their clubs.

  • Charlotte's Web

    980 Words  | 2 Pages

    Charlotte’s Web is a perfect example of Logos. The text of this story is laid out in the best way possible. It has the proper structure that brings the whole movie together. It has a starting point and the main objective of the movie, which is to save Wilbur from becoming the Christmas ham. There’s a middle, or the body of the story, where we see how the characters go about trying to save Wilbur. Then we have a conclusion, or and ending, which is that Wilbur is saved, gets to see the winter, and doesn’t become the Christmas ham. Therefore this movie is laid out like this essay is as it has all the same characteristics. The logical way this movie is laid out is great. It shows that after each word the Charlotte writes in the web the farmer is getting closer and closer to not killing Wilbur.

  • Ethos Pathos Logos In Declaration Of Independence

    561 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the greatest conflicts in the history of the United State of America, the Revolutionary War, was started when the colonies of North America declared themselves independent from British rule. A group of men known as the Founding Fathers, which included George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John and Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and others, formed the Continental Congress to rule their new nation. They chose Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence, which they would send to King George III to make their independence official. Jefferson knew that he needed to use strong language to make a solid agrument against British rule in the colonies and to convince the colonists that independence was the only choice to maintain their freedom as human beings. The powerful use of parallelism, ethos, pathos, and logos helpd Thomas Jefferson to convey his idea that all men are created equal with unalienable rights and that it is the duty of the government to protect those rights.

  • Frederick Douglass Ethos Pathos Logos

    785 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a former slave, bereft of any free will, written words were all but unavailable to Frederick Douglass. Slaves were unable to tell their stories, to expose the dehumanization that their enslavement caused on both sides of the racial rift; so it was necessary for Douglass to fight tooth and nail to obtain the right to learn, and ultimately to narrate his own life story. Amongst the narration, multiple rhetorical strategies are integrated into the text in order to uncover the dehumanizing effect their mistreatment had on slaves during this time. His primary purpose is to educate those who are ignorant of the horrible conditions that slaves lived in and the cruelty that they suffer. He does this through the use of rhetorical devices such as anecdotes, irony and by further connecting to his audience with pathos and ethos. By using his own personal experiences as the subject of his argument, Douglass is able to make a strong and compelling case against slavery; at a time when it was socially unacceptable to do so.

  • Character Analysis Of Glenn's Family Stages Of Development

    1708 Words  | 4 Pages

    “No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness” – Aristotle. I generally like to start off an essay with a quote that seems to encapsulate the whole feeling or energy of the novel or in this case a biography that seemed to resonate with myself the most. This was quite a different book to read in that I had never read a book about someone written completely by someone else. I found some bits of this book to be quite engaging, but yet other parts seem to fall short, because I am not musically inclined whatsoever and found it to be quite difficult to follow, but the parts that discussed the peculiar parts and bits of Glenn’s life were quite riveting to read. Glenn’s upbringing seemed to be different from the “typical” Canadian kid’s life. His parent’s did not seem to work as a team that is needed in raising a child. In this essay I will be discussing about how both Glenn’s mother and father played a very large part, but in very different ways. Both parents had polar opposite parenting styles and Glenn responded very differently to them and he also formed unique attachment styles to each of his parents. “Family Stages of Development” also is something that I think can be discussed in this essay and seems to go hand and hand with attachment styles and parenting styles. Glenn’s upbringing is something I think is very unique and very unlike any other kids his own age. A lot of parents especially in that day and age expected their sons to play sports especially hockey and their daughters would maybe be the musically inclined ones. This is a bit like nature vs. nurture and in Glenn’s situation it seemed to be very much dominated by the nurture side of things. I think that a person’s upbringing is very much dominated...

  • Personal Narrative: My Father's Absence

    408 Words  | 1 Pages

    Growing up, my father’s absence played a major factor in my stride for success. His absence was the scapegoat for why I always felt like I may not be good enough – or why I’d be looked at as an outcast. I’ve always made it my first priority to overcome his negligence by attempting to do my best in school – earning good grades, joining school clubs, giving back to the community. However, never did I receive the recognition I’ve always dreamed of and never was I satisfied with my outcome, but never did I think that I would find through the one who seized it all.

  • Critical Analysis Of This I A In Only Daughter By Sandra Cisneros

    1231 Words  | 3 Pages

    I chose to write about Only Daughter by Sandra Cisneros because I am the only daughter of three children. Therefore, I can relate to this essay because I constantly strive to make my father proud in everything that I do, along with feeling as though I am alone and not understood by my family. My father is constantly in the back of my mind so whatever I do revolves around how I know he would feel about it. Due to this I am more studious when it comes to my education because I know that he will be more supportive the better that I do. Without my dad I would not have come this far in what I have accomplished because I would not have had to prove myself to anyone. Being the first born and the only girl, my parents and family many times do not know how to handle how I feel or what I enjoy because I am more studious out of my entire family. Because of this I

    Dr. Munter's comments: The purpose of this assignment was to relate an event that changed the direction of your life. Not only does this student successfully accomplish this task, he does it with a certain amount of understatement. The instruction “to show, not tell” is beautifully and subtly completed. There is also a nice balance of long and short sentences, unusual similes, and the sense that the author allows the reader to view this event through the eyes of an eight-year-old. Overall, the writing is clean, simple in technique, yet powerful in its message.

    There are times when you don’t know what to do or times when you might feel like you have no help in this world, but there is always that one person who never fails to give you the best advice in life, and that is your father. I have so much respect for any father out there that works hard, and always supports his family no matter what his imperfections might be. My father has got to be the best one in my opinion. He has been the biggest inspiration in my life because he taught me so much stuff in this life that I can’t find a way to pay him. He has been a very humble person and has never seen himself better than anyone else because he believes he is equal to any other father. In my opinion he is the best even though he says he isn’t. My father had imperfections just like any other human being in this world, yet he still taught me how to be a great person in this world by teaching me good morals. “Never Give Up, and believe in God and you will accomplish what you want in life” are words my father always tells me to remember.

  • The Story Of My Life Essay

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    It was on a Friday morning at 4:30 A.M. that happiness and joy filled the hearts of both my parents. I was born on November 29, 1996 at Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale Florida. My parents had five children, and among the five children that they had, I was the third (or middle) child from them. It started off as two boys, then I came along as the first girl, after it was another boy, then finally, another baby girl; so total was three boys and two girls. The way that my parents lived and treated each other was the same as if any other married couple that loved each other so much. They’ve gone through a lot to get to where they are now today, but they made it and along the way had us five children. They have been really strong with each other which made them only have the five of us and no other step children. My mom is a great cook and enjoy cooking for us; this is probably where my passion for culinary comes from. My dad is an amazing tailor, he is very good at making our clothes, and my passion for fashion probably came from him. My dad is also a teacher, one of the best math teacher I know, he is passionate about his job and his family is the center of his universe. I cannot finish this chapter without mentioning my grandmother, I was lucky enough to have ever met. I had spent part of my life time with her, like the rest of the family she is sweet, my grandmother Abelus,
