  • Michele wants government to make the kind of serious spending decisions that many families and small businesses have been forced to make.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      Here she is aligning herself with the middle-class which could serve to distinguish her from some of the other Republican candidates who have been critiqued for over-looking the middle-class. It also alludes to her dissatisfaction with recent government spending and bailout packages. She is siding with the everyday American who protested the extreme government spending amid the recession. Provides pathos as it shows her sense of financial responsibility and similarity with everyday Americans.

  • Michele is a leading advocate for tax reform, a staunch opponent of wasteful government spending, and a strong proponent of adherence to the Constitution, as intended by the Founding Fathers.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      The sentence is elegantly written and effectively uses parallel structure which appeals to the audience's logic. The sentence concludes with a reference to the Founding Fathers which rouses nostalgia for the beginning of the United States. This nostalgia can be very affective as many Americans (especially Republicans) feel that government was best under the Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers personify all that is great about being American-independence, democracy and strength. Founding Fathers also alludes to the joyous celebration of the Fourth of July (Independence Day) which provokes pathos.There is also a simile here as she compares herself to the Founding Fathers.

  • She is also a defender of the unborn and staunchly stands for religious liberties.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      As " a defender of the unborn", Bachmann positions herself as pro-life. The phrase is a euphemism as it is a nicer way of saying against abortion. The second part of the sentence "staunchly stands for religious liberties" is likely a second euphemism stating her siding with the bible on topics such as same-sex marriage. Both stances develop ethos especially amongst Republicans and may also appeal to emotion as the topics are deeply personal.

  • In July 2010, Michele hosted the first Tea Party Caucus meeting. She is seen as a champion of Tea Party values
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      Here she positions herself of a leader of the Tea Party which adds considerable credibility (ethos) to her candidacy because of the Tea Party's considerable resources and growing popularity. It is important for Bachmann to identify herself as a leader as that is what people are voting for. Also note how the term "champion" is consistent with the website's continued emphasis on winning.

  • Michele and Marcus have five children, Lucas, Harrison, Elisa, Caroline, and Sophia. In addition, the Bachmann family has opened their home to 23 foster children
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 18 Jul 11
       
      This sentence develops both ethos and pathos. Ethos as she is seen more reputable and trustworthy by having such a large and seemingly happy family. The main purpose here is pathos as she depicts herself as a loving and devoted humanitarian. She is portrayed here as a mother figure, someone responsible that can look after a large and diverse household (a metaphor for the United States?).This last statement develops a paradox between her portrayal throughout the passage as a tough candidate like one of the Founding Fathers, and her portrayal as a loving, responsible mother who can take care of the nation. Very Interesting.

  • Michele is the first Republican woman to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      Interestingly, this is the only line in the passage that directly points to Bachmann's uniqueness as a female candidate. Potential supporters who were unsure whether she could become the first female president will be reinforced by her being the first Republican elected to the House of Representatives from Minnesota. It achieves ethos as she becomes a more credible candidate as well as logos because "if she was the first woman from Minnesota than why can't she be the first woman president". For the female audience, it may also be pathos as she is seen as breaking down barriers to womens freedom.

  • Michele Bachmann is running for president to bring a new voice to the White House
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      The main use of rhetoric in Bachmann's opening line is "bring a new voice to the White House". The new voice rhetoric is very common among presidential candidates as it is a metaphor for change. Indirectly this new voice represents the possibility of correcting the current governmental problems. It appeals mostly to ethos as it could inspire hope in the audience.

  • She recognized the need for quality schools and subsequently started a charter school for at-­‐risk kids in Minnesota.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      The sentence develops ethos and pathos in the audience. Ethos as her character and reputation is bolstered by her emphasis on education. Pathos as she highlights having started a school for at-risk kids; specifying "at-risk kids" adds emotion to the description and depicts her as empathetic.

  • Serving on the Intelligence Committee, she has consistently advocated peace through strength to ensure America's national security. She has proudly taken a vow to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
    • Alexander Condon
      Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
       
      Here she states her stance on foreign policy. She successfully aligns herself with the Americans who seek an end to the War in Afghanistan by stating that "she has consistently advocated peace". Also she answers the critics who think she won't be tough enough by saying that "she has proudly taken a vow to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies". She shows experience and ability by having served on the Intelligence Committee (logos). "Taking a vow" appeals to emotion as it carries the connotative meaning of commitment, dedication, and marriage.

      The video introduction is a very persuasive addition to the website for several reasons:1. It provides a quick synopsis of the website that young voters and those pressed for time will greatly appreciate.2. Logos: She emphasizes having already been successful as a congresswoman. Describes herself as a hard-worker. Also note the attention to detail in having the message exactly one minute long.3. Ethos: She begins by establishing herself as an official candidate having done all the paperwork. Seems trustworthy through eye contact and fluent speech.4. Pathos:Talks about "taking your voice" to the White House and being a "winning team". Concludes by passionately telling viewers that "we can do this".

      Argument/PurposeThe website is intended to convince Republican delegates and all other voting-age American citizens that Michele Bachmann should become the next US President and that they should vote for her.  Audience: The audience is voting-age Americans. It is not intended for Canadians or audiences from any other nationalities.

      The picture depicts Bachmann as patriotic (the flag on her collar), conservative (seems to be conservatively dressed), and happy (the big smile-ethos). It's interesting that she's not looking at the camera but rather up and to the side. Might have been done because she looks better from this angle, or potentially to show her as ambitious and aspiring. -also note her husband's smiling picture located underneath the video. He is well-dressed (ethos) and again smiling (pathos). Showing that she's married also adds to her candidacy especially among the more conservative Republicans.

      Bachmann logo found here at the top as well as at the very bottom serves to authenticate the document. It's symbolic of an official stamp or even the presidential seal. Of note are the stars (again the allusion to success and winning, as well as patriotic); the red, white, and blue classic American colours; and the red and white stripes through the 'H' in Bachmann which allude to the American flag. The authenticity of the stamp appeals to the logic (logos) of the viewer as well as adding to Bachmann's credibility (ethos). The patriotic symbolism appeals to the strong patriotic emotions of the visitors.

      The page is entitled "A Conservative Choice for President | Michele Bachmann for President". It is significant because Michele is a Republican candidate and the party is built on conservatism. She is evoking ethos as stressing herself as a "Conservative Choice" establishes her as a good fit for the party.

      The page exhibits a red, white, and blue theme. These symbolic American colours are used to evoke both pathos and ethos in visitors. Pathos as the colours appeal to emotions by giving American's a comforting patriotic feeling. Ethos as the colours help develop Bachmann's character as patriotic, loyal, and trust worthy. The colours also make it nice to read as they provide visual continuity.

This increases the accessibility to her site and updates and will be welcomed by younger voters especially. It also shows her as technically savvy and in-touch with the latest in technology (ethos).

      Another purpose of the site is to bring in donations from supporters to fund her campaigning. Notice how the donate button is coloured red so to stand out and draw attention. The red colour actually makes the audience want to click it, especially as it stands out from the other white tabs. It's that red button that we all want to press.

      Pictures of Bachmann speaking with people in the community are persuasive by developing logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos: seeing her speaking with seemingly everyday people adds support to her claims of being "the voice of the people". Ethos: the pictures make her appear more trustworthy and reputable. especially the picture of her shaking a woman's handPathos: She is again smiling in the pictures which evokes happiness. She is also photographed speaking with hand gestures which shows passion.

      Notice the applauding crowd in the background; the viewer assumes that the crowd is applauding for Bachmann and this provokes ethos as her credibility is enhanced by the image. It is also potentially pathos as it can be seen as a metaphoric image of a crowd during a (presidential) victory speech. The symbolic image of the victory speech evokes happy emotions of winning; relate it back to the video where she calls it "a winning team".

      This paragraph gives a different aspect of yoga that most people don't think about. "Laughing uncontrollably" and "waving your hands like you just don't care" imply a fun and energetic workout, which attracts anyone that wants to have a good time. It's a great thing that kundalini yoga awakens the energy coiled up at the base of your spine. So you get energized and receive a detoxification of the body and mind.

      This sentence relieves any tension or stress one may feel when they are thinking about taking up yoga. It tells the reader that if you don't feel right about doing a certain type of yoga, try a different kind. There is no pressure to keep up with the same type of yoga if your body doesn't feel right doing it. This lessens the anxiety most people feel when they are considering taking up a new activity.

      In this picture a sense of community is felt. The many legs with black yoga pants on top of the colourful yoga mats with a sunset in the background give a sense of happiness and belonging. Everyone is doing the same pose which shows that anyone can do yoga. Since only legs are shown and no faces or bodies, it implies that it doesn't matter what race, age, sex or athletic ability you are, anyone can participate in yoga and become a part of a community while getting healthier.

      The light pink/peachish colour brings the readers attention to this quote. On a page that is full of black text on a white background our eyes are drawn to the saying which sticks out like a sore thumb on the web page. Also the swirly type text pulls in the reader, since the rest of the page has a standard text that is easy to read but not nearly as appealing. This quote changes everytime one opens the page, and it is also a part of the lululemon manifesto. These quotes appear on many pages of the site, and they are the attention grabing text on every page.

  • The common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights -- for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture -- is false and illusory if the right to life is not defended with maximum determination.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      This is an appeal to religion (since the authors quote a religious authority figure) as well as to morality. Without providing any kind of evidence, the authors attempt to convince people by telling them that it is their duty to oppose abortion.

      This is a personal argument based on the author's own personal experience. Although it shows what can happen, the author makes it seem as though it is an inevitable result of abortion. However, it cannot be generalized as other people may have had different experiences and feel differently about the issue.

      These pictures try to persuade people by making them believe that God does not condone abortion. It is also a reference to our 'playing God', which happens to be a common religious argument against scientific advancements. Furthermore, the depiction of children serves to demonstrate that children are an essential part of 'God's plan' and must, therefore, be protected. They also look weak and defenseless, which elicits an emotional response also known as the mother's / father's instinct.

      This is a picture of a 14-week old fetus. It, too, is supposed to elicit an emotional response, or a protective instinct. Since the 'baby' is fully recognizable as a 'human being' (due to the fact that it certainly looks like one), it serves to reinforce the argument that abortion is murder.

      The aborted fetus is supposed to make one feel disgusted and devastated as well as angry and sad. However, this is an 11-week old fetus (as opposed to the 14-week old fetus). It may be the case that there is a fundamental difference between an 11-week old and a 14-week old fetus in terms of their development into an actual human being.

      The authors then go on to argue that abortion is not only morally wrong but also politically wrong as it takes away several rights from a 'human being'. Furthermore, they compare it to feminist issues (which is also why they chose to call the fetus "Sara" and refer to it as a "girl"), thereby appealing to women and especially to feminists (whether they be male or female).

  • This first question we must ask ourselves when considering our opinion on abortion is this: "Is something being killed?" Everyone familiar with biology will answer yes. The next question is "What is being killed?" A simple way to answer this is to ask "Does it have DNA? The answer is yes. What kind is it? Human. The DNA at 5 minutes after conception is identical to the DNA 85 years after conception.

      The authors try to argue deductively. However, they assume that everything they say is based on nothing but facts even though they never prove that everything that 'has human DNA' is in fact a fully developed human being.

  • "Jane Roe" in the case has since said it was the worse mistake she ever made. How come you never hear that in the main stream media? She was a puppet for an abortion agenda, another example of the abortion industry's abuse of young women.

      The authors try to persuade the readers that the women who decide to get an abortion are actually victims. Surely, some of them regret it but there are also women who do not regret it. By taking one example and presenting it as a general rule of thumb, the authors redirect the reader's anger toward the authorities and the institutions that support abortion.

  • Abortion is not the first time this word game of personhood vs. humanity has been played with human life. During the slave trade, it was acknowledged that black people were human beings, but not "persons". During the Holocaust, Hitler acknowledged that Jews were human beings. That's why he performed horrible experiments on them, but he did not acknowledge their "personhood."
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      By comparing abortion to slavery and to the Holocaust, the authors once again elicit a strong emotional and moral response that leads to the readers thinking about the wrongness of the act. Abortion is thereby inevitably depicted as a crime (or even genocide), which is an attempt to make people want to oppose it.

      This comparison is invalid since the real question is whether a fetus is "alive" yet. Toddlers and the authors are without a doubt alive. Yet, the authors' use of an analogy is quite interesting as it seems to be an attempt to appeal to logic.

  • In the last 30 years approximately 21,500,000 women have died violent deaths in the United States. They have had their arms ripped off, they have had their legs ripped off, they have had their heads cut off. These women were defenceless, they could not speak out to defend themselves. They remained silent as they were brutally murdered. These women were not fully grown. They were waiting to be born. These women died from abortion. Most abortionists are men who say that they are in favour of women's rights and they say they shun violence against women. Obviously, they are not in favour of the rights of women in the womb.

      Once again, the authors appeal to feminism and claim (without any evidence) that abortion is, indeed, murder.

  • The abortion industry is a multi billion dollar industry and Planned Parenthood is now exporting this industry to countries around the world like a McDonald's franchise.  I just attended a summit on "Population Control" in Ottawa. It is scary to think that we are now trying to export abortion to countries around the world the way we export wheat. Much of this is being paid by our governments.

      Making it seem as though abortion is but a business distracts from other aspects of it such as 'abortion as a result of rape' etc. and redirects anger toward the institutions that support it. Hence, people's desire to put an end to abortion grows (if they do not critically reflect on it, that is).

      Repeating the main statement (it is murder) and ending the discussion with a 'prayer' emphasizes the wrongness of the act as well as the religious aspect of it. We should not play God because 'in Your way [God's way] we have absolute confidence', meaning that if God wanted it to happen it would happen naturally (by itself). Furthermore, ending the discussion the same it started is also very effective as it demonstrates that it is now 'complete' (like a 'vicious' cycle that one cannot escape).

Also there is "Tell us about your Y" title under which makes it more personal. Ethos because the guardian and child do seem like real patrons which gives credability.Logos because it makes sense of taking your child for a swim where it is safe and happy.

  • Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis, and when this process breaks down, cancer begins to form. Unlike regular cells, cancer cells do not experience programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide. This leads to a mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control.

  • Cancer harms the body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release hormones that alter body function. Tumors that stay in one spot and demonstrate limited growth are generally considered to be benign.

  • Cells can experience uncontrolled growth if there are damages or mutations to DNA, and therefore, damage to the genes involved in cell division. Four key types of gene are responsible for the cell division process: oncogenes tell cells when to divide, tumor suppressor genes tell cells when not to divide, suicide genes control apoptosis and tell the cell to kill itself if something goes wrong, and DNA-repair genes instruct a cell to repair damaged DNA. Cancer occurs when a cell's gene mutations make the cell unable to correct DNA damage and unable to commit suicide. Similarly, cancer is a result of mutations that inhibit oncogene and tumor suppressor gene function, leading to uncontrollable cell growth.

  • Carcinogens are a class of substances that are directly responsible for damaging DNA, promoting or aiding cancer. Tobacco, asbestos, arsenic, radiation such as gamma and x-rays, the sun, and compounds in car exhaust fumes are all examples of carcinogens. When our bodies are exposed to carcinogens, free radicals are formed that try to steal electrons from other molecules in the body. Theses free radicals damage cells and affect their ability to function normally.

  • Cancer treatment depends on the type of cancer, the stage of the cancer (how much it has spread), age, health status, and additional personal characteristics. There is no single treatment for cancer, and patients often receive a combination of therapies and palliative care. Treatments usually fall into one of the following categories: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, or gene therapy.

  • Surgery is the oldest known treatment for cancer. If a cancer has not metastasized, it is possible to completely cure a patient by surgically removing the cancer from the body. This is often seen in the removal of the prostate or a breast or testicle. After the disease has spread, however, it is nearly impossible to remove all of the cancer cells. Surgery may also be instrumental in helping to control symptoms such as bowel obstruction or spinal cord compression.

  • Radiation treatment, also known as radiotherapy, destroys cancer by focusing high-energy rays on the cancer cells. This causes damage to the molecules that make up the cancer cells and leads them to commit suicide. Radiotherapy utilizes high-energy gamma-rays that are emitted from metals such as radium or high-energy x-rays that are created in a special machine. Early radiation treatments caused severe side-effects because the energy beams would damage normal, healthy tissue, but technologies have improved so that beams can be more accurately targeted. Radiotherapy is used as a standalone treatment to shrink a tumor or destroy cancer cells (including those associated with leukemia and lymphoma), and it is also used in combination with other cancer treatments.

  • As cancer cells use the body's energy and interfere with normal hormone function, it is possible to present symptoms such as fever, fatigue, excessive sweating, anemia, and unexplained weight loss. However, these symptoms are common in several other maladies as well. For example, coughing and hoarseness can point to lung or throat cancer as well as several other conditions.

  • There are five broad groups that are used to classify cancer. Carcinomas are characterized by cells that cover internal and external parts of the body such as lung, breast, and colon cancer. Sarcomas are characterized by cells that are located in bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, muscle, and other supportive tissues. Lymphomas are cancers that begin in the lymph nodes and immune system tissues. Leukemias are cancers that begin in the bone marrow and often accumulate in the bloodstream. Adenomas are cancers that arise in the thyroid, the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, and other glandular tissues.

  • Early detection of cancer can greatly improve the odds of successful treatment and survival. Physicians use information from symptoms and several other procedures to diagnose cancer. Imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans, and ultrasound scans are used regularly in order to detect where a tumor is located and what organs may be affected by it. Doctors may also conduct an endoscopy, which is a procedure that uses a thin tube with a camera and light at one end, to look for abnormalities inside the body. Extracting cancer cells and looking at them under a microscope is the only absolute way to diagnose cancer. This procedure is called a biopsy. Other types of molecular diagnostic tests are frequently employed as well. Physicians will analyze your body's sugars, fats, proteins, and DNA at the molecular level. For example, cancerous prostate cells release a higher level of a chemical called PSA (prostate-specific antigen) into the bloodstream that can be detected by a blood test. Molecular diagnostics, biopsies, and imaging techniques are all used together to diagnose cancer.

  • Cancers that are closely linked to certain behaviors are the easiest to prevent. For example, choosing not to smoke tobacco or drink alcohol significantly lower the risk of several types of cancer - most notably lung, throat, mouth, and liver cancer. Even if you are a current tobacco user, quitting can still greatly reduce your chances of getting cancer. Skin cancer can be prevented by staying in the shade, protecting yourself with a hat and shirt when in the sun, and using sunscreen. Diet is also an important part of cancer prevention since what we eat has been linked to the disease. Physicians recommend diets that are low in fat and rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Certain vaccinations have been associated with the prevention of some cancers. For example, many women receive a vaccination for the human papillomavirus because of the virus's relationship with cervical cancer. Hepatitis B vaccines prevent the hepatitis B virus, which can cause liver cancer. Some cancer prevention is based on systematic screening in order to detect small irregularities or tumors as early as possible even if there are no clear symptoms present. Breast self-examination, mammograms, testicular self-examination, and Pap smears are common screening methods for various cancers.

It repairs our cells and fights infection and tumours to help us live longer and healthier... It can increase blood flow by up to 200%, which has numerous health benefits. Not least among them, it allows men to produce erections and heightens sexual stimulation for both sexes. The principle action of Viagra, by the way, is to raise nitric oxide levels... Increasing blood flow also improves the circulatory system by keeping blood vessels clear of plaque and other harmful build-up...

  • Younger children may not display signs of being harmed by sexual abuse because often the perpetrator is a person they know and trust; the child may seem unaffected by the perpetrators actions and may not show signs of resistance. However, this does not mean that the child has not been harmed by the sexual abuse. The lack of resistance children sometimes show also contributes to their feelings of guilt and their fear of disclosing because they do not want others to assume they “invited” the incident. Disclosure of sexual abuse varies. Some children disclose their abuse immediately, while some are unable to due to their feelings of fear, shame, guilt and confusion.

      95% of abusers know their victims. These people can be someone in our family, our doctor, our coaches, our troop leaders, our clergy, our teachers. This means that as parents we need to be more vigilant and ask questions about those who are in our childrens lives. Keep your eyes and ears open, listen to your child when they are talking to you as they often insert warnings into their conversations with us to test how we will react.

  • Psychologist Frederick Mathews’ research on child molesters, “Help for Adults Who Molest Children,” is written for individuals who sexually abuse children. The literature emphasizes that individuals who have molested a child must immediately receive help to decrease their chance of reoffending. Mathews stresses that child molesters are not likely to stop sexually victimizing children on their own, intervention is required. It is important that child molesters ask for help so that they can learn to understand why they commit these crimes, the sexual assault cycle and their triggers. There is not a quick fix to this problem, it requires a lifetime of work and treatment.

  • In 2001, Researchers at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine and University College London reviewed the case notes of 225 male sex abusers and 522 other male patients being treated in a London clinic. The study found that the child abusers had been victims of sexual violence more often than the patients who had not committed sexual abuse. This finding suggests that there is a victim-to-perpetrator cycle in some men who commit sex crimes. Psychoanalytic theory proposes that a hostile childhood can create a need to replace feelings of “defeat” with those of “triumph.” For an individual to accomplish this emotional shift they may become a sexual aggressor as an adult.

      This site caught my attention immediately. It looked soothing, it is easy to read and it deals with a delicate subject that affects many people. I think the colors of the page accomplished what it probably set out to do, which was create calm. Let's not forget, we are dealing with depression. This subject means something to me as I suffer from it on occasion. I can associate with this personally. The subject is not so much a controversial one, however, those who don't suffer from depression have been known to say, "Get over it!", which can be a negative experience for one in the throws of depression. I think the writers' purpose here it to inform and explain the symptoms of the disease as experienced by those it affects. I believe it also provides a forum for those who simply want to explain where they are at in their depression and to encourage others to understand that this is real and it affects many. It also serves more than one purpose as it provides suggestions on how to deal with it.The thesis, or the overall main point is basically to let the disease speak for itself and allow others to comment on the subjectThe tone of the text is relaxed and does not create feelings of unrest. It provides answers and links to all issues surrounding the subject of depression. I really liked the graphics of what appears to be grass. I imagine laying down in it and breathing in the fresh air. I also took a shine to the dandelions on the right side and I specifically liked the "I'm done hiding" at the top of the page. Many people hide the depression as they are embarrassed.  The highlighted areas are stand out texts for me.

      Logos is achieved as the words are logical. Pathos is achieved as it appeals to my emotions because I have first hand knowledge of this sickness called depression. Ethos is achieved because I trust and believe the written word.

  • Delivering community-specific programs and services designed to enhance and empower lives has been the mission of the Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA for nearly four decades. Our story is about people from every background working together to make a positive difference in the quality of life for themselves and others. Their unselfish commitment to the health and well-being of the community they share has had a tremendous impact with far-reaching benefits. We trace our roots back to the early sixties, when a small group of concerned women met together in the basement of a boy’s club to form a Y neighborhood group. Familiar with the work of the Y they began to organize programs and services eventually leading to the chartering of the YWCA of Kamloops in 1965. Ten years later, the focus and the scope of programs and services were broadened when members voted to join the YMCA movement and the Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA was formed. In the near thirty years since then, our Y has built a proud legacy of uninterrupted community service sparing no effort to keep pace with changes that have come with time. The same spirit of commitment and dedication upon which our association was founded still fuels our determination to build toward a healthier tomorrow. We look back with pride at all that has been accomplished since our humble start and it inspires us to look forward with a renewed sense of commitment to what we must yet achieve.

      This long text appeals to ethos, logos and pathos. Ethos because they give factual information which gives more credibility and does give imperrions of being legit. Pathos espeacially in last paragraph because it is inspiring and people may like to be inspired. Logos because the explanation does make sense and gives factual information on what their purpose is.

        The color yellow was choosen in regards to pathos, it implies postive emotions along with symbolizing a well balanced mentally healthy life style. Along with the color yellow, there is also a picture of a women showing her strength, again capturing emotions regarding to health and wellbeing which result in positivity. It is important to note the size of the picture, it is the first thing you see on the page. The company uses "18- years in business " to start their text; this is to suggest to the viewers that the bussiness has been runing for many years which makes this credible. These appeals to ethos

          MuscleHack has two main slogans, the highlighted one being "Home of Muscle Growth" and the one in the logo being "Mor Muscle, Less Fat, Less Time." Mark McManus, the blogger who maintains MuscleHack, makes it clear right away that this is a website dedicated to shedding off as much fat and putting on as much muscle in as little time as possible.

          These slogans also suggest (and this can be verified by reading a few blog posts) that Mark very firmly believes that his information contained in this blog is the best (and possibly only) way to safely put on muscle quickly.

      • Muscle growth, which is sometimes called  ‘muscle hypertrophy‘, is what this site is all about. Yes there are thousands of different training systems out there, but this one is designed SPECIFICALLY to make your muscles larger – PERIOD!
        • Elias Rumley
          Elias Rumley on 03 Dec 10
           
          Note the first three paragraphs. "... MuscleHack, the home of muscle growth." "If you want to learn how to build muscle fast, MuscleHack is THE place to be." "... this [training program] is designed SPECIFICALLY to make your muscles larger - PERIOD!" Immediately, the blogger uses repetition (in conjunction with the slogans) to get it clear that this website is entirely about muscle gain, no questions asked.

          This section was preceded by the heading "Mark's promise to you". This entire bulleted list is an example of Ethos, where Mark is trying to prove that all the information provided on the blog is genuine, and that there is no scam or illegitimacy in being involved with this blog.

          A search over the website shows that the term "free" appears 9 times on this page. Apparently Mark wants to be very clear that there is no risk in following his blog, as everything here is free. In a sense, it's Logo. This blog is free, and as proven earlier, will not scam you or abuse your information; therefore, you should have no reason to not follow this blog.

          For Mark to still turn a profit on this blog, he has some blatant advertisements through Amazon.com posted on the blog. While he probably recommends all these products, this is also his source of income.

      • The Muscle Hacker is Mark McManus, a 29 year old Certified Fitness Instructor committed to helping others build the body of their dreams. Mark is a naturally skinny guy who overcame the hardgainer's curse through years of research and personal experience. Whether you want to build new slabs of muscle or drop your body fat percentage to reveal chiseled abs, Mark CAN make it happen for you.

          Mark uses Ethos by claiming he is a Certified Fitness Instructor, who was a "hardgainer" (ie, a skinny or slim male who has difficulty in developing muscle) who overcame this barrier; therefore, he must have the credentials to help you gain muscle also.

          Mark also uses Pathos, by stating his commitment to helping others build the body of their dreams and making your fitness goals happen for you. The suggestion is that Mark wants to help you become fit.

          Near the top of the page, you have an opportunity to "grap a copy of Mark's FREE book". I have personally looked into this myself, and what it doesn't tell you is that this is that you end up the mailing list by asking for this book. While it is very easy to withdraw from the mailing list, it is a clever trick to get you to come back to this website at least once to remove yourself from the list. Mark may realize that one return to his website could be enough to keep you coming back for more out of curiosity, something he as a blogger wants out of readers.

          The website is riddled with pictures of muscular men. This is an appeal to men who want to have that physical appearance. The pictures are an attempt to subconsciously plant the (inaccurate) logic of "If I read this blog, I will look like these men" in the minds of certain readers.

          Another side note about these pictures - most of them are actually of Mark, trying to convince the reader that this blogger has seen results with his own information, and so must have some sort of credibility (Ethos).

          To provide an outlet for users to passively advertise MuscleHack, users have the option to like MuscleHack on Facebook. The ideology behind this is that this act of liking MuscleHack will result in a post in Facebook's news feed, resulting in the possibility of Mark receiving a new reader from a curious Facebooker.

          In the concluding line of the "front-matter" to this website, Mark makes one more stab at using Ethos and Pathos. MuscleHack is genuine (Ethos), and Mark would be pleased to help you reach your dream body (Pathos).

          It's not a major thing, but it is still worth noticing that Mark generously uses font formatting to his advantage in his writing. Headings and sub-headings have different size and style of font. Points which call for extra attention in the body writing are written in red to draw in readers.

          Mark either wants or needs money in order to keep MuscleHack online, so whatever finances he can't get from his own work or advertising, he needs to get from other sources, and donations from readers are an excellent thing to try.

          I find it interesting how the homepage has a cool little applet like a body-fat-calculator on the sit of the page. I am willing to bet that this is put there in order to boost the amount of hits for this page. Somebody can suggest to their friend, "Check out Musclehack.com, there's this body fat calculator on the homepage that you may find useful!" Mark is hoping that these readers who stopped by for the litlle gizmo may stay as permanent blog followers.
