Analysis Of Why Lunch Ladies Are Heroes By Jarrett Krosoczka

“Why lunch ladies are heroes” was presented by Jarrett Krosoczka on July 2014 at a Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) Talk. His purpose was to get people to show appreciation towards their lunch ladies and to be thankful for all they do. Krosoczka wrote a book about how lunch ladies are heroes. He also wants people to thank them because they are often taken for granted. Jarrett Krosoczka drew attention to how little lunch ladies are appreciated by using pathos to get the audience to connect in an emotional way and want to change their outlook on lunch ladies.
