Opening with this comment welcomes the reader and makes me feel as if the author has truly considered the issue at hand.

I agree with Ashlee's statement. This is a warm welcoming to the reader.

With this opening statement, the author gives the response a more personal feel. It also allows him to give a truthful answer without coming off as offensive.

Yes i also agree with the comments above, this is one of the very opening statements and it brings about a more personel level with the reader.

I agree as well with the comments above. This opening statement makes the reader feel welcome and ensures them that they are doing the best they can at reviewing policies and dealing with the issues at hand.

I agree with everyone. The opening statement makes the concerned parent feel welcome and that they are trying to deal with the situation as best they can.

I like how he opens this by thanking her. It is very welcoming, like everyone has said.

Great comment.

This comment gives me the impression that the author wants to make sure that what he thinks the issues is, actually is what the problem is. This shows caring and intelligence.

Again, I think Ashlee made a very good point with this. This is important in solving an issue.

I like the way he wrote this because he is letting her know what vibe he got from her writings. By him stating this there can be no confusion. All that she can say would be that he took it the wrong way. or that's not what she ment, if so from there on there could be more clarification if needed.

It is very effective how he took direct quotes from the patron, so it is clear that he does not twist her words. It shows he does not want his point of view to be misconstrued.

I like the way that the writer is looking to clarify exactly what the issue at hand is so there is no confusion.

He did good in putting this in here. He is letting her know what he feels she is concered with to see if it matches what the actual concers are. Like Ashlee said, it shows that he cares.

This paragraph makes me feel as if the author actually understands multiple viewpoints.

I agree that this paragraph shows his understanding of many different views on the subject. I think citing these is effective because it lets the patron see the other views also.

I also think it is a good way for the author to either show or express that he is not just set on one point but actually multiple viewpoints.

This news portion of AOL gives information on cars who have recently advanced technologically and in a more eye-appealing way. It is an example of logos because it lists several points that can, although it is a news article, persuade a viewer or reader to want to buy the cars they are reviewing. In this example with the Honda Civic, it says that it is very "roomy and comfortable with lots of storage space." Clicking the "next" button at the bottom of the text, the reader sees several more fun features that may lure the consumer to want to buy the car.

This website is an example of pathos. It invokes a feeling within the reader. It is designed to make women laugh and to make men feel worse about themselves. Which are both obvious emotions. In my opinion, there are no examples of ethos involved for the reputation of the author or of the person or subject being talked about. There are no examples of ethos except to say that "studies have been done". There is also usage of biased words, such as "plump patron" to create more humor and emotion.

This webpage is designed for children and uses pathos as its source of rhetoric. It appeals to children's emotions by telling them about animal testing methods such as the Draize test and the Lethal Dose test. The Draize test puts the product in the animals' eyes to see the effects and the Lethal Dose test measures how much it takes to kill them. It encourages you to sympathize with the animals and not use products that have been tested on them.
