J. Deutsch Jordan Currier English 11 2 April 19, 2024. This documentary was made in 2013 at SeaWorld. Former SeaWorld trainer Dawn Bradcheua would get pulled in the tub with the orca whales and ended up passing away because of this incident in 2010. John would show all of the appeals but one that popped out to me the most was a pathos appeal, he would describe his emotions while they had to split the young orcas between their parents. Previews of this essay will be developed around the audience's appeals and how they set up this documentary video of how they set up the video perfectly to catch attention and work with the audience, and keep them appearing during the documentary. Showing ethos, pathos, and logos in ways that never lose the attention …show more content…
One of my examples is Pathos, appealed numerous times. He would describe the horrific lifestyles of orca whales getting split up as young. This is a great Pathos appeal because this can get to the emotions of the audience and John would go into a description of how they would be captured as a baby. He would go on and talk about how inhumane it was for us to do this. He would talk about splitting the parents up from the young and relating it to humanity. This was a great ethos appeal because in the sorrowful moment of the parents getting killed and sunk to the bottom while the baby orcas have to get abducted and shipped or flown away. He related it to humans in a way to devastate us, to influence us to stop caring for this and showing how messed up it was. He would use all three appeals because the logical way he thought about his speech and the truth behind the orcas life all come together. This is why it is so important that ethos, logos, and pathos tie in together to form not only a good speech, but level it up and make it

Edlund, John R. Ethos, Logos, Pathos: Three Ways to Persuade.” Cal Poly Pomona, n.d. Web. 6
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.
There are many people who see space as the last and greatest frontier for humankind. There are many groups who are leading the way and NASA is one of them. But should our tax dollars be invested in such an idea? No, according to British history professor Jerry DeGroot. His thesis, in the article “is that United States should, a sensually, defund NASA. From what I can tell, he uses mainly pathos to try to sway his argument, leaving very little appeals to ethos and practically none to logos. I’m going to explore these three appeals, as well as many of the fallacies he uses within the piece.
We see ads everywhere though-out our day even if we know it or not. Ads that make an attempt to persuade us one way or another. It could be to persuade someone into buying a product or even helping children that are in need. Either way, all these ads use certain persuasive methods, which include ethos, pathos or, logos, to get peoples attention. I saw an ad created by the National Association for Gun Rights. Obviously this ad is trying to let people that we have a right to have own guns. The ad shows a woman pointing a gun with the words “Mama didn’t raise a victim”. I’ve decided that the author was targeting woman that can presumably be victims of assault/abuse at any time. Given this information, the author is using pathos to let us know of the dangers that can be encountered at any given time as well as ethos because of the organization promoting the ad and even a bit of logos.
Cowperthwaite uses the interviews done with former SeaWorld trainers, also interviews people in the audience who witnessed the death of professional whale trainer Dawn Brancheau and the recording of the emergency calls that we hear going along with the visual footage of the horrific attacks. Blackfish also uses pathos to help portray killer whales was gentle giants who have the ability to feel emotions just like humans do. This comparison of whales to humans helps formulate an emotion from the audience and cause use to question the actions SeaWorld takes to provide these animals with a “livable” environment. To back up claim that orcas share similar characteristics with human Cowperthwaite interviews neuroscientist Dr. Lori Marino, who explains that whales have a part in their brains that allows them to process and understand emotions. By adding this scientific information of killer whales and the way the process emotions helps to make the reinforce Cowperthwaite’s claim that orcas deserve to be out of captivity.
Many veterans in the nation are struggling to find clothes, shelter, and food. Veterans from the Vietnam War until the most recent wars do not receive the appreciation and the care that they deserve. Due to the lost cause during the Vietnam War, many Americans turned away from supporting the military. After the Vietnam War, military antipathy was on the rise. In the 21st Century, organizations such as Wounded Warrior, Salvation Army, and Travis Manion Foundation are some of the few that provide aid for military veterans. Although someone can argue that veterans receive enough aid from these organizations, a great deal of veterans are sleeping in public shelter homes or wandering in the streets begging for food and clothes.

When first watching the video I couldn’t find any use of ethos, pathos or logos but after watching it a numerous amount of times I see how each are being used. Ethos which is used to convince the audience of the author’s credibility which the author did. Using a news anchor they achieved that. News anchors are trustworthy and most if not all people trust them to present accurate events and news. “The Greek word for “suffering” or “experience” is Pathos, the term Aristotle used for a reliance on emotions to make a persuasive point” found on ethoslogospathos.com. The author defiantly used pathos to demonstrate the aggression and irritation they have towards news station that broadcast unimportant things on the news just too waste time. Logos was also used. When the author showed different scenarios of what the news teams do to run up the time is a form of logos. They used accurate facts that may have been humorous but was true evidence and it was easy to follow and had lots of
... their arguments. Each appeal focuses on a different subject or idea. Logos is based on facts and reason, pathos is based on emotions, and ethos is based on character. Writers tend to use the three diverse appeals to attract and encourage the reader to agree with the writer’s argument. For example, in the essay “One Picture is Worth a Thousand Diets,” Goodman uses logos to inform his audience about his ideas and research. On the other hand, in the essay “The Good Death,” Webb uses pathos for her readers to be able to interact and understand her work in detail. Furthermore, readers tend to be persuaded by writers that have a meaningful and influential essay with facts, opinions, emotions, values, and character. The diverse ideas enable the reader to interact with the writer, and help the reader understand the work to the fullest. In addition to interacting with the author, the different appeals also help the reader feel and gain trust in the author. The diverse appeals illustrate how people tend to react when the author has gained his or her trust. Many writers tend to use one of the three appeals to encourage his or her audience to understand and agree with his or her argument.
Purchasing a physical book versus a digital copy, what differentiate these two items? In Christopher Groskopf’s article, “True or false: If it’s on your phone, and you paid for it, you own it” argues that digital owners’ rights have been limited by the Terms of Service(TOS) that they signed before purchasing the material. The digital owners have become mere users due to the TOS. This article will be analysed using Aristotle’s rhetoric arguments which are logos, pathos and ethos.
The documentary “Blackfish” by Gabriella Cowperthwaite, shows the captivity of orcas in marine parks. SeaWorld would capture baby orcas and keep them in small “aquariums” to grow and train, then use as show animals to make the park money. The spark to make this documentary occurred in 2010, when a female trainer by the name of “Dawn Brancheau” was killed by one of the male orcas at the park named Tilikum. SeaWorld disputed this case among many others, saying it wasn’t the animals fault but instead the trainers. Through this documentary, Gabriella Cowperthwaite uses ethos, logos and pathos to bring attention to the horrific things that are being done at this park.
In Greek pathos means feeling, the appeal to emotions is considered appealing to pathos (Barnet 74). Many presenters has a small element of their presentation that appealed to pathos, nonetheless only a few utilized this element effectively. The first presentation that effectively appealed to pathos was the presentation done by Bear that discussed issues that are currently taking place on the Ganges River. The images that he presented depicted the extreme pollution conditions that the people and wildlife in the region are forced to live in. These pictures were very effective at appealing to pathos. The second presentation that successfully appealed to pathos was the presentation on physician assisted death presented by Lokella. The issue she discussed was very controversial, however everyone could relate to the emotion of having someone suffer from a terminal illness. Lokella increased the effectiveness of her argument and her appeal to pathos by recounting the story of a young woman named Brittany Maynard. Her story stated how this young woman decided to end her life utilizing the physician assisted death program due to her suffering from terminal brain cancer. This story hit an emotional cord not only with Lokella, but with many who were listening to her presentation, including myself. The final presentation that efficiently appealed to pathos was done by Kaitlyn with her presentation entitled “Child Marriage in India”. The information she presented could arguably have appealed to logos as well, however viewing images of girls that looked like they were barely 10 years old marrying 20-30 year old men, and hearing the stats of how many of these girls were raped and abused, rendered this argument as a influential appeal to
Logos a way for writers to use any form of mathical reasons, such as numbers, facts, or statistics, in their article or in their arguments. Goode provided facts and statistics throughout her article, and knowledged that mental health should be taken serious, because the issue is increasing every year. Goode logically support her information about the framework of the Precede-Proceed, and discussed the seriousness of school counselors and other school officials playing a major role in decreasing the chance of students having depression, stress, and high levels of anxiety.
September 11, 2001 will always be referred to as one of the darkest days in American history. It was a day that sent the entire nation into chaos, grief, and anger. Following the events of 9/11, former President, George Bush addressed the nation in the Oval Office at the White House in an effort to restore a fallen nation. Although I was just 6 at the time, I do remember sitting in front of the T.V. and watching President Bush’s address the nation and reassuring me that I was safe and that everything would eventually return to normal.
logos consist of facts, statistics, causal statements, experiments, and case studies. Logos shows logical reasoning to the audience, and while Ethos and Pathos are important, Logos helps to give you the final push to persuade the viewer. Facts that help to create belief. The Art of Rhetoric can be very effective when used in a documentary. For example, in “Waiting for Superman,” the director uses Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to tell and persuade the viewer that the public school system is broken, which he does very effectively.
