I am writing in response to Curtis Wilkie’s article “Words Triumph Over Images”. My first reactions to his comments about the TV, radio, and print media accounts of Hurricane Katrina were of complete shock. He not only implies that those forms of news source are basically useless compared to written words on newspaper, but states that “TV news had morphed into a mutant reality show”. In his article, Wilkie states that he had “given up on radio as a news source”.

Dave Cullen spends much of the beginning of the book going in depth about the community, which of course includes the school but more importantly the people. Cullen describes the victims lifes and what was important to them. He humanises them so we can better have empathy, knowing they were people with good hearts and lives just like ours. As he tells us more about the victims it forces the audience to except that they were real people, not just names. In this way he appealed to the audience's sense of pathos, making the audience realize the depth of the massacre.

I seem to absorb advertisements quicker than I can process them; they breeze past any cognitive thought or qualifications and set up shop as doctrines for my life. Moreover, some advertisements are denied with twisted logic, like using brand loyalty to make decisions. In an effort to gain better understanding of advertising’s art of persuasion, I have been studying the rhetorical appeals and attempting to identify them in my daily ad intake. They are: pathos, an appeal to emotions; logos, an appeal to logic and reasoning; ethos, an appeal to credibility; and Kairos, the timeliness of the appeal. Recently, while walking through Overton Park, I came across a sign that advertises three park features: a zoo, art college, and art museum; rather

President Roosevelt used pathos in his speech to elicit emotional responses by Congress and the American people. He showed obvious emotions of anger and sadness, but appealed to the pride of the nation to galvanize the people to take part in the massive and long-term effort to respond to the attack and ultimately defeat the Nation of Japan. He was not going to let Japan get away with what they had done to our great nation. Attacking Pearl Harbor, led the United States immediately into war with Japan through the declaration of war by Congress only moments after the conclusion of the speech and only a few days later into the larger conflict, World War II, with a declaration of war with Japan’s ally, Germany. Roosevelt showed passion,

Because the article was about disaster relief, emotion obviously played a large role. The volunteer that the piece was written about had helped in many disaster relief projects including 9/11—a very emotional event for many people. Timing was also a large part of this emotional appeal because they released the article not even a week after one of the most devastating earthquakes our time has seen. Being able to do so little for Nepal is upsetting for many people, so giving them a place where they can help in their own country was exactly what the public was looking for. Subsequently, by relating this article to previous events (9/11, etc.)

This title is not to be read as a coherent sentence but as a list of titles bequeathed upon groups of attendees at Smithtown Central Junior &High School. (I couldn’t figure out how to get the word Hippy in there.) I didn’t belong to any of these clubs, as many of us didn’t, but that’s what made these groups of kids stand out. They were the minority separate from the majority. Many just wanted to belong and be accepted and to be recognized as most kids yearned for.

A Time Americans will Never Forget With the many different tragedies happening every day, you would think that the public would grow more desensitized by the day. However, there are periods in time that citizens of the United States (U.S.) will most likely never forget; one in which that is forever imprinted in our minds is September 11, 2001 (9/11) was an unforgettably dark day for the lives of everyone in America.

Concerning theories of claims-making, “the concept of ‘a frame’ or news framing lies in the dynamic process of communication which involves frame building and frame setting” (Wondemehagen 697). This setting and adjustment of the ‘frame’ is crucial to how a news event is interpreted. Traditionally, the formation of claims has been classified under four stages. The claim must be considered “offensive on some condition…some official agency responds to the claims…in stage three, the claims and demands remerge…in stage four, alternative counter-institutions are established” (Wondemehagen 698). This theory also mandates that for any claim to gain power and credence, the information used must be from those “in powerful and authoritative positions” who are able to correctly identify and diagnose problems (Wondemehagen 702).

If giving out false information to persuade an audience is untruthful then why as a society we are still reaching for the untruthful? Persuasion is alternatively what all advertisements are aiming for no matter if it is for a product or idea.
