Bees Ethos Pathos Logos
Aristotle has three appeals. The first appeal is ethos. This means the speakers competence and character. In my speech about bees being endangered I spoke about my ignorance towards bees. My ignorance was started after I got stung and existed until I watched a bee pollinate a flower. The second appeal is logos. This is the evidence and reasoning you deliver in the speech. For example, the reasoning, I talked about is what bees job is. They pollinate a lot of plants and this allows many families to survive. The evidence of bee decline in population is the number of crops suffering to grow. The last appeal is pathos. Pathos is the emotional appeal. Everyone gets upset when you include how dogs and cats are affected by something. I spoke about …show more content…
I had an excellent attention getter with answering the phones with both my jobs. I spoke about what I enjoyed with both jobs, and how this changed to the person I am today. I brought note cards to the podium and only made sure I was following the correct order. What I worked on during the trimester was posturing and my visual. I wore heels for my first speech and often rocked. My visual was not personalized to me. Instead, it was a picture I found on google. I also felt I spoke too fast, even if my run time was perfect.
In my final speech, I tried to show everything I have learned from this trimester. I made my visual, personalized and made it my own story. I prepared for the worst just in case my visual went wrong. It did when I couldn’t open it on google docs. Although, my second picture was blurry from the malfunction I did not show it. I stayed confident and was successful.
Overall, I have learned a lot from this class. I learned how to organize a speech effectively and how to deliver it comfortably. If I need to share another speech I hope to prepare even greater and continue to improve. For my next speech, I hope to have the statue posture to allow no

    After I read this article, I understand the effects of logos, pathos, and ethos. I think these three rhetorical ideas are mainly pursuing the artistry of the articles or essay. For example, Pathos is the emotional appeal of the characters. The writer would write about "When someone was feeling sympathy about homeless, they would give food or money to them instead of ignoring them. " At the mean time of the readers, they can feel the compassion of the characters, and they would imagining themselves into the moment…

    Almost 2500 years ago Aristotle was born, he was born into a wealthy educated family in Greece. He was a student of the famed Plato (another Greek philosopher) and went on to make many great discoveries and theories. One of Aristotle's greatest teachings was in the art of rhetoric. Aristotle said that to be persuasive in ones arguments that one must establish credibility (ethos) use logical argument (logos), and appeal to the audience on an emotional level (pathos). Twenty two hundred years later a young statesman named Patrick Henry would exemplify these three techniques to near perfect use, in his speech to the Virginia House of Burgesses.…

    Ethos is our level of credibility as perceived by the audience. Pathos is the quality of a persuasive presentation which appeals to the emotions of the audience. An emotional connection can be created in many ways by a speaker, perhaps most notably by stories. The goal of a story, anecdote, analogy, simile, and metaphor is often to link an aspect of our primary message with a triggered emotional response from the audience. Logos is synonymous with a logical argument. The message we are trying to convey should be based on facts, statistics, and…

    Continuing, Carr’s use of the metaphor makes a strong statement in his argument and supports the idea that technology is making humans into machines well. To compare humans to machines appeals to the readers’ pathos because it makes the situation more directed towards the reader and their emotions. For those who use technology daily, the comparison would affect them more because they are more likely to be surrounded by technology and possible end up thinking like the machine they are using. Carr makes sure that this metaphor show how the human brain is changing and has adapt to work like a clock and that it will adapt to be like the other devices being used. Analyzing the two strategies, personal anecdote and figurative language, Carr uses…

    Aristotle, although having lived thousands of years ago, continues to make an impact in our society with his contribution to Western thinking and his famous "art" of rhetoric. He remains to this day, one of the most influential philosophers in the history of rhetorical study. One of his most prominent works is his "Rhetoric", a book that "confronts scholars with several perplexing questions" (Herrick 74). "Rhetoric" is divided into three books that discuss the "domains of rhetoric, the rhetorical proofs that Aristotle is so famous for and matters of style and arrangement" (Herrick 74). One of the most important contributions of Aristotle 's "Rhetoric" is his idea of artistic proofs, which are used to persuade an audience. Since developed in the fourth century BC, these proofs still continue to be utilized by rhetoricians to this day through the Aristotelian method. There are three components that comprise the artistic proofs. These are "(1) logical reasoning (logos), (2) the names and causes of various human emotions (pathos), and (3) human character and goodness (ethos)" (Herrick 82). Although all parts of his work are instrumental to rhetoricians and scholars everywhere, I will focus on the profound impact of Aristotle 's "artistic proofs" to the art of rhetoric and use Franklin D. Roosevelt 's December 8, 1941 "Declaration of War" speech as an example of how they 're put into practice as a persuasive mechanism in today 's postmodern society.…

    Thus, Aristotle provides an introduction to his theory of rhetoric. First, it resembles the reader to deeper questions of how people can use the art of persuasion to manipulate an idea or argument. Secondly, the quote shows how Aristotle perceives rhetoric as a form of art and not as a science. According to Aristotle, the difference between science and art is that art is used everyday in any form of rhetoric speech. Lastly, the quote helps the reader understand how logic can wrongly be use through the form of rhetoric. For example, one use of persuasive speech can twist the information in someone else’s mind, to the point where one’s reality becomes someone else’s reality as well. The quote itself helps the reader understand Aristotle’s Rhetoric by providing an introduction to Aristotle’s theory of rhetoric. With Aristotle’s theory, people understand how the use of rhetoric affects their lives in the way of intellectual…

    Exceptional persuasive writings must contain a well executed use of Aristotle’s Rhetorical Appeals ethos, logos, and pathos. Patrick Henry’s “Speech in the Virginia Convention” and Benjamin Franklin’s “Speech in the Convention” are two tremendous examples of these appeals, however, Patrick Henry’s speech is the better of the two. In his speech, Henry is trying to convince the convention that war must be declared against Great Britain. Meanwhile, the context of Franklin’s speech is that he is giving his support of the Constitution. Henry’s speech uses logos and pathos better than Franklin’s speech does, although Franklin uses ethos better than Henry. Since Henry uses two of the three appeals more effectively, his speech is superior.…

    This chapter is the most important because the introduction of Aristotle’s top three tools in an argument, logos, ethos and pathos is introduced. He calls them “ The most powerful tools of persuasion: Argument by character, argument by logic, and argument by emotion” (38) also known as logos, ethos and pathos for short. By using emotion, logic and character it makes it easier to manipulate someone in an argument. For example, in Heinrich words “ Logos, ethos, and pathos appeal to the brain, gut, and heart of your audience” (40) which means that these tools are part of argument for persuasion to others. Heinrich explains how to use these tools by explaining in detail by definition and divides them individually in sections to go further in depth in the chapter. This chapter is useful by allowing the readers to fulfill themselves in further knowledge by using argument tools to spice up an argument and win it over.…

    The presentation was a health campaign that I chose to do on kidney disease. My initial idea was to develop materials to communicate relevant context. The underpinning approach taken for my learning event relates to Kolb’s experimental learning cycle. This concrete experience was central to the design of the session and there was also an opportunity for the group to reflect on and share thoughts about their experience. (Reflective observation). This reflection was observed from my peer evaluation form.…

    The Power of Rhetoric

    Caesar was brutally murdered, and now Brutus and Antony present their funeral speeches with the purpose to make people believe in their own views on this murder. The central theme of Act 3, Scene 2 of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare is the power of rhetoric. From this scene we are able to see the power that words can have—how they can awake emotions, manipulate opinions, and motivate actions. Through the essay I will be comparing Antony and Brutus speeches and their effect on the society using Aristotle’s postulated three argumentative appeals: logical, emotional and ethical. Powerful and superior rhetoric has a balance of all of three aspects. In contrast to Brutus, Antony presents a superb and more rhetorically powerful funeral oration because he is able to apply logical, emotional and ethical appeals in the perfectly balanced way. In comparison to Antony, Brutus bases his speech not on logical facts but on his reputation, manipulating with the fact that he is an honorable man. In terms of emotions, Brutus uses only pity when Antony employs the use of nostalgia and pity therefore generates a deeper emotional connection with the audience. Finally, Antony presents delightful ethical appeal whereas Brutus uses it very poorly.…

    One skill I saw being utilized was my sense of humor. Similarly to how I mentioned enjoying levity in political discussion, I enjoy the application of humor in most all other aspects of my life. I feel that humor lowers the threshold between the speaker and audience and allows a more human connection to be made. I also feel that humor allows me to offer more personal insights into my life without bringing the mood into a somber territory. I also noticed that I managed to remember much of my planned speech without a hitch. Hopefully, the strong base of memorization will allow for the integration of slides as the semester…

    The next area that I need to work on is my confidence level. I just don’t feel very confident preparing for or delivering speech, yet. I believe something that would help is just to have a positive attitude and to quit telling myself that I can’t do it! I can do it, I just need to believe that. One of the things I might do is pick out three people whom I’m comfortable with in the classroom audience in different areas of the room and just focus on those three people during my speech. To the audience, it will look as though I am scanning the room when in reality I’ll be just looking at the same three people. I think this will encourage myself to reframe the speech…

    As I considered choosing speech towards the end of my first college experience, I decided, “why not take a jump, and just go for it?” So I did. With taking college algebra, art appreciation, and an online course as well I feared that adding a speech class would become over whelming, however it did not. I believe while making my decision to take a fifteen week course of speech through Holly in Daytona Beach was an important decision my success in the class. Instead of having a speech a week, (for a seven week course of speech) it was more like a couple a month. This gave us time to go over concepts, to be involved in small activities (more support for our grade) that related to the speeches coming up. These activities went along with the speech, and I found that those helped us make the connection as of how they related. For example, the commercial speech where we had to sell something. I believe that concept of selling a product, helped me grasp my understanding of the next speech, which was the persuasive speech. More so, as a class Mrs. Hollins told us, she did not want us to just want this class to be over, and not to think that once we leave we will never talk again (even if that is the case), but she wanted us to connect with our classmates. I believe that helped my confidence. As when I had to go up in the front of the room and talk for 4 to 8 minutes, that and the practice from over the course of going up in front of the room so much. My teacher was more like a friend, as she told us she had some sticklers for teachers and they would point out the bad, so she understood and remembered that pressure. Whereas, this teacher, she would smile and just listen. It was like she did not even have a grade book in front of her. I really liked that feeling. As well as my confidence as being a speaker improving, I felt my understanding of people improved as well. Being in the audience had an interesting feel. I would be listening to all the speakers scheduled for that…
