The three authors Melissa Click, Hyunji Lee and Holly Holladay use of credibility or ethos in the text is well known. They conducted research within Lady Gaga’s fanbase or her Little Monsters and asked them questions regarding the movement they are a part of. Their interviews and discussions show ethos as they discuss how the little monsters believe that Lady Gaga respects them as human beings and wants them to send a message to other people regarding acceptance. We get a viewpoint of how they love her persona because she does not try to fit in with others, but makes a name for herself. The authors also use a sense of pathos as information or what is referred to as emotional text. The emotional text comes from discussing how successful Lady
Gaga is as a person and how many can sympathize with her being different than others. The idea is to send emotional waves because Lady Gaga does a lot for communities who do not have a large speaking base for them. For example, the LGBT community while small is a demographic in the United States that a lot of people frown upon. However, Lady Gaga sends them a message to be open about who they are and with her song “Born this way” many of them find the reason to come out. Lastly, the author’s use of logical statements in the text to persuade us about how Lady Gaga is an inspiration to her fans. We hear throughout the text about how she helps her fans with self-identification which means to accept yourself and the characteristics of who you are as a person. The use of logos continues by using Lady Gaga’s social media status as evidence to show how popular she is with fans. The article discusses having over 50 million fans worldwide as credibility as to how her movement is succeeding.
There are three methods of persuasion when speaking or writing to an audience: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Ethos uses a type of socially recognized authority as its voice. Logos uses logic and reasoning as its tool. Lastly, Pathos uses emotional attachment. For instance, the advertising industry primarily utilizes Ethos and Pathos reasoning and qualities, particularly a Matthew Mcconaughey Lincoln Motor Company commercial, and a Safe driving bonus check Ally Insurance commercial.
Pathos is the appeal to an audience’s emotion. Aside from the other two appeals that I have outlined in this essay, pathos is by far the most recognizable appeal in Lamott’s article. The humorous tone of the article is very easily recognized and frankly, it is hard not to laugh at some of Lamott’s uncalled-for sarcastic remarks (whether it be in your head or out loud). For example, when writing about how every writer she knows never writes an elegant first draft, she continues, “All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her” (1). By making such presumptuous claims about this person, some audiences might find this type of language comical or entertaining, which in turn makes them want to believe Lamott and continue reading. In a way this helps Lamott seem credible to some readers, in which case she has created a successful argument. On the other hand, some readers might find this kind of language unprofessional and inappropriate. Because much of the article deals with language that is full of humor and sarcasm, it would make sense to say that Lamott has directed this article towards an audience who is looking for something more entertaining than a typical statistic-filled essay that one might consider mainstream in this field. Whether it be entertaining or absurd, Lamott most definitely uses the appeal of pathos in her

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.
Strength of Argument: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Bell Hooks’s essay, "Keeping Close to Home", uses three important components of argument (ethos, pathos, and logos) to support her claim. Hooks develops her essay by establishing credibility with her audience, appealing to the reader’s logic, and stirring their emotions. She questions the role a university should play in the life of a nation, claiming that higher education should not tear a student away from his roots, but help him to build an education upon his background. Bell Hooks gains the trust and credibility of readers through knowledge of the topic at hand, establishing common ground with the audience, and demonstrating fairness.
The song Where is the Love by Black Eyed Peas has several examples of logos, ethos and pathos along. It is also a critique of the downhill spiral our society is taking whether it is war, racism, exaggerated media, or selfish adults. The title of the song itself fits into the theme of individuals versus society.
...echniques employed are persuasive and subtle, and this allows Carr to take advantage of all emotional arguments at his disposal. In conjunction with sources pertinent to the topic, Carr’s emotional appeals seem to get his audience thinking, and from the article it is easy to agree with the points he has made. Carr’s use of logos and pathos does bring into question his ethos, however. Fortunately, Carr’s ethos should not be questioned, as he has written several books and articles on the topic. This does not excuse his bias, but it does permit him to speak on the topic at hand. Carr definitely presents himself as a strong literary figure, and his views on the internet are reasonable as well as relatable. This combination of ethos, pathos, and logos successfully allows Carr to write as an expert in this field, and his article and thoughts are not to be taken lightly.

Remixing original material from different artists has become an important controversy in today’s modern world. The matter of stealing copyright material is taken very seriously and offends a lot of artists. Lawrence Lessig, author of “Remixed: Media” and a professor at Harvard Law School, writes about how he doesn’t agree. He uses several examples and personal stories to back his position and try to get his readers to understand that what new contemporary artists have started doing. Is nothing illegal and attempts to make it socially acceptable. Writing something like this, the author should include three rhetoric appeals such as ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is, by definition, “an appeal to authority or character” (31). Pathos is a way to connect through emotion. Logos is incorporating formal examples such as definitions, facts, and proven statistics. Another part of the article would be the kairos or otherwise known as the appropriate placement of each argument during the course of an article. While reading, it’s easy to see how ethos, pathos, and kairos is used in Lessig’s article as he places an emotional state that could be perceptive to his audience and modern day statistics to connect with his audience in order to convey his opinions on remixed material throughout his article, while leaving out personal credentials.
Stefani had a good up bringing with a family that cared for that and really helped push her to musical goals. One thing I think she was really missing in her family that she had to look outside for was a role model. No one was like her and that meant she had to find someone outside of the family to look up to and this ended up being rockstars. A reason I say it was rock stars is because she states her love for people like Queen and John Lennon for giving her the motivation to live on when times were hard. This had a major effect on the rest of her life because it gave into her taste in music and gave a foundation on what to build Lady Gaga on.
