Writing this visual rhetorical analysis was a new experience and has helped me to become a better writer overall. This rhetorical analysis has taught me how to further analyze a directors use of ethos, logos, and pathos while critically watching or looking at any visual. For this assignment I learned how to analyze different film elements and how to use that to support my thesis. This paper has been a great learning experience and has been very beneficial. How did you come up with your thesis and develop support for it? In my visual rhetorical analysis my thesis was this paper will rhetorically analyze the directors use of ethos, logos, pathos to reach his intended audience. I supported my thesis by having my first three paragraphs be ethos, …show more content…

First of all, I had no idea where to start with my paper since I have never had to write a paper like this before. While watching the documentary I felt like there was way too much information for me to pick out what was important and what to leave out. I knew that I needed at least one or two film elements and the use of ethos, pathos, and logos. After watching the film a few times, I started to categorize everything that was going on in the film into those categories and it really helped organize my paper. Starting my paper became a challenge. I knew what I wanted to be the main points of my paper but I didn’t know how to exactly use ethos, pathos, and logos when it was a film I was analyzing instead of a text. Proofreading is still one of the things that I struggle most with in any paper. While writing my rough draft, I tend to get ahead of myself and just go on to tangents. When I proofread my own work I may not catch on to all the little grammar errors. The in class proofreading sessions have really helped me understand just what areas of my paper that I either need to look at again or where I am lacking in support. Overall, these were a few of the things that I struggled with while writing my visual rhetorical

For instance, in my first paragraph, I point out Bettelheim’s claims and his tactics for convicting them to the reader "Bettelheim incorporates pathos (emotional appeal), logos (logic), personal appeal, and prior knowledge into his writing to engage his reader." Furthermore, I describe the methods that are used by Bettelheim to simplify some of the claims so his readers could comprehend. In the first few drafts I had a hard time catching sight of the techniques Bettelheim used to convey his claims, but now I can read a passage and recognize the writer's claims and comprehend the techniques he or she uses to convey the message

Multimodal Rhetoric is the use of design elements, such as images and charts, to enhance the argument through visuals. My use of multimodal elements was to aid in the persuasion of the current problem. I did not rely on the design elements of the report to make my arguments. I was confident early on that I would use multimodal elements as an enhancer, rather than a crutch. I chose the use of comics because I feel they are an efficient use of pathos and logos.

The Thesis statement helps establishes the ideas of the paper, reflects the opinion and the purpose of the paper. This was a key lesson that I learned when writing my research paper (Solitary Break Down). “The criminal justice system needs to recognize the negative psychological impact caused by prison environments, and reform it in a regulated manner.” From this excerpt, the thesis provides a strong argument and gives the idea of how the paper will flow. I used Pathos with a combination of Logos to appeal to the audience on an emotional yet logical level on an issue that needs confronting.

Word choice, for example, could cause extreme confusion for the reader and what was a great idea might come across as illogical. Likewise, activities such as reading aloud to one’s self, or having a peer review one’s writing, can vastly decrease the potentially for error.

Throughout our busy lives as college students, creating numerous papers and completing series of projects, we often forgot to acknowledge the influence and vital role visual rhetoric plays in our writing. Whether it is incorporating meaningful graphs that perfectly illustrate our data, accenting our presentation slides with an engaging background color or using a particular font that is required for the writing, it is clear that visual rhetoric is used throughout construction and presentation of essentially all forms of writing. Personally, visual rhetoric plays a significant part in my own decisions when designing and creating visual pieces in certain types of writing. With a thorough understanding that “images convey messages in more complex terms than text and add an extra dimension to a text,” I make it a goal to find the perfect graphic that will not only enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of my work, but will help strengthen the overall message I am attempting to convey (“Visual Rhetoric And Document Design: Graphics”). Likewise, when designing detailed and informative presentations, I take special care to thoughtfully construct an color scheme for

The way you appeal to these are through the usage of tone and diction. Pathos, on one hand, requires a more emotionally charged argument, so it requires a passionate tone and an informal diction. Logos on the other hand, requires a factual argument and uses only the most formal diction possible. Ethos requires an appeal to authority and to people who have an expertise beyond our own and because of that, Ethos can use either an informal or a formal diction, and be factual. Ethos is essentially convincing the reader to trust what the author is
