Update: I just posted my comment onto YouTube now that it let me sign up. I did have to shorten what I originally wrote because of the character limit. Here is the link again: http://www.youtube.c...

      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 video clip is an advertisement for a vacuum packaging product called the Food Saver. The video provides a good example of the logos form of rhetoric. The woman in the video provides multiple reasons for why the viewer should purchase the Food Saver. She explains that the product can prolong the life of foods, reseal opened food bags, be used to store eating utensils, and most importantly, save the buyer money. Even though the viewer has most likely never seen the woman in the advertisement, they are captured by her claims and the evidence that supports it.

YouTube - A Favour House Atlantic - Coheed & Cambria - The Last Supper - 0 views

      This video is a clip from the band Coheed & Cambria's live DVD entitled The Last Supper. I believe the video clip serves as a good example of ethos. In the video, you can clearly see that the band has the full attention crowd, and they appear to approve of the band's performance. Because Coheed & Cambria was the headlining act at this show, it's likely that the majority of the crowd was there specifically to see Coheed & Cambria. Had there been another band on stage, it's possible the reaction from the crowd may have been entirely different.

YouTube - World Vision Child Sponsorship - Just Like Us (Winter 2007) - 0 views

      This World Vision Child Sponsorship commercial is an example of pathos beacuse the commercial relies on your emotions to contribute. When watching the children play and speaks its hard to turn down and not contribute.

      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!

YouTube - VitaminWater commercial: LeBron James, Ace Attorney (2008) - 0 views

  •  
    This television commercial is a representation of an ethos appeal of rhetoric. The fact that Lebron James has nothing to do with vitamin water, and yet is advertising for it shows that he is using his popularity to sell this product. Lebron James is known for his athletic abilities, he doesn't say anything about how the water tastes or what benefits drinking it gives you.

YouTube - Movie Stars with a St.Jude Thanks and giving commercial - 0 views

  •  
    THis commercial uses both pathos and ethos. The writer tries to appeal to the emotions of the person watching so that they will donate to their cause but they do so using world famous celebrities whose reputation makes them appealing to a wider audience.

      Here's another video clip displaying a form of rhetoric. This time, the video appeals to the pathos form. Even though the clip has no spoken audio, the message is very clear. The creator of the video decided to use an approach that makes the viewer feel a sense of guilt. The somber sounding string ensemble playing over footage of chickens, cows, and pigs is enough to make anybody think twice before biting into their next cheeseburger. This form of rhetoric may be he most effective of the three varieties, because of its ability to make a deep-rooted connection with the viewer through their emotions.

  • The moderator or administrator of the website uses a great amount of Pathos in order to really appeal to the hearts of his readers, because you have to be a pretty cold person to not feel bad at all for an animal who closes its’ eyes and cries moments before it is murdered, time and time again.
    • Angela Moneck
       
      This is a good example of pathos. It even made me feel bad for the animals.
    • Angela Moneck
       
      I think you should cut off your introduction before you go onto describing the pathos. Otherwise, it's a realy good introduction. You introducted your topic and your opinion well.
    • Angela Moneck
       
      Actually, I think you could just take out the pathos part and put it somewhere else in the essay, and continue the introduction.
  • provides lots
    • Angela Moneck
       
      I think you should use the word "a lot" or "many" instead of "lots."

    • Angela Moneck
       
      I think this is an logical absolute. You're assuming something about the audience that may or may not be true.

      Assignment Parameters- I could see your main idea throughout the entire paper. You definitely stayed on topic and made very good points.
    • Angela Moneck
       
      Style-Point of view is appropriate. You stated your opinion throughout the paper, which is okay in this type of paper. Your word choice is appropriate.
    • Angela Moneck
       
      Conventions-I didn't notice any grammar or spelling errors. You do need a Works Cited Page though.
    • Angela Moneck
       
      I didn't see if you really talked about any involvement you had in the website, so maybe you should add that in towards the end.
  • I believe that they should include some of the videos that are currently posted on YouTube of the actual killings.
    • Janice Perez Rivera
       
      This is a very good point. this would be a great way of showing and building up people's emotions on what is occuring to these animals
