This Proactiv commercial is an example of ethos. All of the many Proactiv commercials were the only thing that entered my mind when thinking of an example of ethos because of how reliable they are on celebrities to promote their acne system. Many consumers are tempted to purchase a product just because a celebrity said the product is good, or maybe even because they make have a strong liking for that particular celebrity. Either way, I highly doubt that Proactiv would sell as many products if they no longer used celebrities in their commercials with very clear skin.

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 video is an example of pathos because it evokes many emotions from the person watching the video. Every time I see this commercial on T.V., it makes me feel so bad for the animals and want to go adopt one right away. It evokes a feeling of sadness along with guilt in order to persuade the viewer to possibly go adopt and save the animals. This type of persuasion can be very effective. At least they're making us feel bad for a good cause!

Nice job researching, you can tell you put a lot of effort into it.

When you get down to the last couple of analysis you should try to see if you can combine some like ideas or articles and find some nice transitional techniques to try to tie it all together. Just smooth out all your well researched information.

Good intro, it would probably be a good idea to discuss rhetoric a little further and how it specifically pertains to your analysis of the torture debate.

Maybe use a comma here.

...issues, and come together...

Maybe reword this. Something like, "to express their opinions."

These two sentences to me seem kind of choppy. They are complete sentences but I feel like they could be combined.

Try to combine these sentences too.

Wow I didn't know that he supported it in the beginning.
