Usually, the general audience will not notice a speaker or an author's use of rhetoric. Rhetorical appeal has three forms: logos, pathos, and ethos, and each of them are meant to persuade an audience. As written in "An Overview of Rhetoric," "Rhetorical discourse if usually intended to influence an audience to accept an idea..."

Ethos, or character used to demonstrate credibility and trustworthiness; pathos, or emotional appeals; and logos, or reason, appear without question. The speaker, British Broadcasting Company (BBC), appeals to ethos due to sharing a value of concern for Princess Diana’s death and sharing information on how Diana got rushed to the hospital to stay alive. BBC appeals to pathos, or the evoking of an audience’s emotions, due to providing vivid language.

As humans, we have an almost involuntary propensity to act through our emotional frame of thought rather than our frame of logic; hence, pathos over logos. This is not due to a lack of understanding, rather is it because of our ability to understand. Our ability to understand circumstance, morale, beliefs, and the types relationships we’ve forged. Since we are able to understand these things so well, our minds, almost like muscle memory, piece together the elements of our circumstance and conceive a response that feels suitable within the context of the subject matter. In terms of subject matter, I will be providing three examples that enforce the idea that pathos most often appeals over logos, all dealing with the currently-relevant and

My next goal with my story speech was to appeal to the pathos or emotion of the audience. Teen pregnancy, friends, and family can all be emotional topics, for this reason I incorporated all of these into my speech.
