Rhetoric Through Out Our Lives Finding rhetoric through out our lives is not hard because it is everywhere. Most people don't know either what rhetoric is or where and how to find it. In rhetoric there are three main components of persuasion, ethos, pathos, and logos. Each different component works in differ-ent ways to persuade people to possibly do a task or change a way of thinking. This is how many commercials on television and sometimes the radio get people to purchase their products, one such commercial is the Kmart “I just shipped my pants.” The Kmart commercial works as a well thought out head turning commercial. Its not hard to see why it turns heads, or hear why. When …show more content…

The family can help connect to the audience because most people have a family where they may need to buy pants for their kids. It is very convenient for a young and or busy family to ship what they need from a store to their house and especially if it is free. The family in the commercial at the end is very happy and hugs the Kmart worker, this is over the top but give a message. The family is very pleased enough with the service to hug a stranger. It also shows an older couple shipping their pants. This is also very smart because they are appealing to older people who may not have a the means to get out of the house to buy things in the store. It will show that the service is very convenient for them in Logos refers to the message and the clarity of the claim, the logic of its reasons, and the ef-fectiveness of its supporting evidence in order to convenes or persuade someone of something. To gain a strong logos one must clearly and affectively say what they need to say when it needs to be said with out give to little or to much detail. Logos in the Kmart ad is strong because it gives the information about its free shipping in a clear …show more content…

They are saying “You can ship your pants right here” and “If you can’t find what you are looking for in store, you’ll find it at kmart.com right now and ship it to you for free.” The sails people only have two lines throughout the forty second commercial but that is because of the wording and how effective it is getting the message a crossed. Over all this ad is doing a good job using rhetoric to get its point a cross. The Kmart ad is able to get its point across using funny and stereotypical scenarios. When the people say “I just shipped my pants, drawers, nighty, and bed” it puts in your mind of the stereotypical saying of “shitting” something. Which in most cases people will fined very funny. In this case most people do. This ad is also trying to get you to go online for shopping. With everything having free shipping it is more likely that someone will buy something out of the millions of products online. If you have one product in your online cart why not add something else while your at it and maybe something for your kid or maybe that special someone? This is how online shopping works you keep adding more things to the cart and once it is in the cart there is a more likely chance for it to be bought. This commercial is going to get people to shop “at”

All authors, at varying levels, write with purpose. Ever written work has a purpose, varying from artistic creativity to academic and professional curiosity. Although the purpose is evident to the author, the reader may find difficulty determining what that purpose is. In the case of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) public release on Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the document’s purpose, as well as its intended audience, can be determined through an introspective analysis. One can use the three rhetorical appeals of logos, pathos, and ethos to determine the purpose of the CDC’s document, and give one’s self insight into the audience for which it is intended.

The way that the authors used logos was the fact that both are all about the facts. A lot of the article talks about straight facts and how things happened throughout the era of the Holocaust. They talk about how rules were written to keep the children safe and how to do so without people questioning them. An exact number of how many kids were saved is not known. Other facts that do a good job and support their claim can catch the reader’s eye.

Ethos, pathos, and logos are the three rhetorical techniques. Ethos appeals to ethics or character, pathos appeals to the emotion of the audience, and logos appeals to logic by using credible facts. Out of these three, I would say logos is most effective when trying to persuade someone. When an author uses logos, they use facts and evidence to back up their claim. This includes examples and sources.

The last way the writer persuades the audience to make the commercial effective is through logical reasoning and well-thought-out situations. The writer did not exaggerate advertising. However, the writer used a logical situation that would keep the audience’s attention and allow them to see the product multiple times within the commercial. For example, if the writer of the commercial stood in a room and said buy our Chevy truck there would not be many people interested in the product. However, the writer used a logical situation, a dog and a young boy, to interest the audience and keep them guessing what the commercial is about.

They are selling this product through humor and the naivete of the young child as he keeps returning to his mother for permission in doing things a child his age would be prohibited from doing. The advertisers made this product attractive enough to purchase through irony and comedy since the revelation at the end of the commercial explains the child receives permission from his mother by asking when she is having sex and repeatedly yelling out "Yes!Yes!Yes!". The likely demographics this commercial is targeting is likely young adults and up since, marketing adult products to children would probably be inappropriate and likely illegal. An example from the commercial on how they are selling the product, which is by humor and shock, is by the having the child get a tattoo and promptly stating "My mom said I could" and the demographic and target audience of the probably young adults from France and anyone who is from an English speaking country. This commercial
