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.

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.

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!

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.

This is a good example of pathos. It even made me feel bad for the animals.

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.

Actually, I think you could just take out the pathos part and put it somewhere else in the essay, and continue the introduction.

I think you should use the word "a lot" or "many" instead of "lots."
