From the listening, the professor explains that emotional appeals are to manipulate or control our emotion. And he also says that advertisers use different techniques to persuade us to buy. In the reading, there are two examples about the emotional appeals. The one is Jacko, who is one of the most famous Australian football players.
Blackfish is a 2013 movie directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite it concerns an orca named Tilikum which is held at SeaWorld. The movie speaks of the present incarcerated killer whales living at the SeaWorld Park.

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are three persuasion tools used both in Julius Caesar and in Blackfish. Ethos is persuading through the character of the author.
Hi Jasmine. Thank you for sharing your life and your son with the class. I am a mother as well and us mothers will go to the end of the earth for our children. Reading your post made me grateful, that I have excess to multiple providers because I live is a big city. Not having adequate health providers in rural areas needs to change.
Now, having stated the above you never should have gotten involved, as the problem exists between Patti and me; not you, Patti, and me. However, Patti has allowed you to say whatever you want to me, as does she, but when I say something it’s not okay. Would you allow Patti to confront your daughter on a matter that she sees as wrong? I don’t think so.

Hi Natasha. I have to say, I do admire on how confident and bold you stand with your opinions. Something I have to work on. Going back to your post, I do disagree with your statement about “You will be completely lost in life without it [religion]. You will have no goals, hope, or purpose in life”.
A Not so Modest Proposal Well known, political analyst, Jonathan Swift, in his persuasive writing, “ a Modest Proposal”, coaxed for the proposition of making children of poor families be deemed beneficial by selling them as food to rich families during the Irish famine. Swift’s purpose is to enlighten the Irish and their government about the substantial poverty level through sardonic satire. He adopts a facetious tone in order to shock the readers with disturbing and morally untenable positions to reach the attention to the Irish government about the living conditions in Dublin. Swift begins his persuasive proposal by analyzing that the environment in Dublin is permeated with those living in a deplorable state.
UNDERDOGS is presented as an animated web series. It’s divided into several small episodes. The six episodes center on a dog talent agency and on their struggle to film a commercial with the right dog. The idea of a dog talent agency is very appealing, especially for children. One can envision many episodes for this type of web series.
In the article, “Out of the Mouths of Children, Wisdom,” the author, Leonard Pitts claims that adults should appreciate the directness of children and bring an end to war. To build off of this claim, and further his argument, he uses anecdotes, vivid language, and appeal to emotion. Anecdotes allow the reader to personally connect with the audience in a way that is virtually unparalleled. They can be used near anywhere in a piece of writing, but in this case (and in my opinion, the strongest way to use them) it was used as a hook to grab the reader’s attention.
Would you have ever thought that elephants are much smarter than what they are believed to be? Well, they definitely are because shown in recent experiments, and as shown in the different selections, elephants have had better results than other competing animals. In the video, “Elephants Show Cooperation”, by Discovery Channel the article, “Elephants Can Lend A Helping Trunk,” by Virginia Morell and the passage, “Elephants Know When They Need A Helping Trunk In A Cooperative Task,” by Joshua M. Plotnik. All three pieces of information give the reader an overview about the experiment, while conveying information to the reader in their own unique way.
This passage intrigues me because it explains a little how a body is prepared for a funeral. As a student looking into the health community, this intrigues me because of how it is seen as similarity to surgery. “His equipment, consisting of scalpels, scissors, augers, forceps, clamps, needles, pumps, tubes, bowls and basins (...)” (2) The informative tone that Mitford possesses for this essay sounds like what a college professor would lecture, it can get a bit boring (but then again, that could be because of my generation 's attention span and my attention span) but overall informing and she makes it seem as though you need notes on these (then again, most informative writings seem that way). She also uses descriptive language to hook the readers with colorful words (not bad words, just descriptive) and her use of them boosts the readings likeability, in my opinion.
Middle School Get Me Out Of Here James Patterson Rafe adjusts to his new school by acknowledging the school’s art programs and classes and by causing a little trouble with Zeke and Kenny. For instance, after Mrs. Ling gave Rafe and the other students a tour around the art section of the school, Rafe thought that the new school was extraordinary and that “seventh grade was looking up, up, UP!” (Page 57, Patterson). In addition, after Zeke and Kenny made Rafe look like a total fool during the critique, Rafe and his new friend Matty threw rubber glove balloons filled with water at Zeke and Kenny as their revenge.
In today’s lecture, Dr. Laude discussed optimization. Optimization means “wanting to be better” in our career and in our life. First of all, one reason that people lie to themselves about why they are doing bad in a class is to make themselves feel better, some learn from their mistakes but some unfortunately do not. Dr. Laude explained that achieving personal growth and success is about understanding that for every “optimization there’s always a response,” a positive or negative one. Furthermore, Dr. Laude recalled that it took him approximately two and a half years to learn how to study, which was by cramming before a test and memorizing everything he read in the textbooks.
The PETA ad in "Child Abiuse" is an ineffective rhetoric. The picture shows a girl eating a cheeseburger, saying "feeding kids meat is child abuse". Under that sign in small print says, "fight the fat, go vegan; peta". This shows the ad is not about children at all, it 's about animals. They are trying to convince people to stop eating meat, in order to save animals.
