Four Modes Con't

Ethos:
The photograph allows the audience to validate the authenticity of its image and permits the viewer to relate to 60 Minutes.
Pathos
The movie, Ferngully and the photograph both appeal to human emotion. The movie exemplifies child-like hope, and the photograph reveals a sense of sorrow and remorse.
Logos
The book exemplifies a logical solution to the electronic waste pile up in China. The song demonstrates a logical progression of the importance of recycling.

By appealing to people’s emotions, the presenter engages the audience on a deeper level. In order to appeal to the audience’s softer side, I chose to include a children’s movie that features fictional characters. However, the audience also needs something to relate to so that they can mentally validate the information. The photograph I chose to include was taken by a reporter for 60 Minutes. Since 60 Minutes is a well known news broadcast, the audience will hopefully deem the information to accurate. To make sense of the emotion and validation, I will include a more logical aspect. The book I am identifying examines saving money while recycling. I am hoping that this logic will appeal to a more mature crown. For the more sentimental audience members, the song I chose classical explains the worth of recycling.

Each of the three rhetorical appeal help to teach the audience about my topic. In regards to ethos, the photograph I chose will give the audience will not only show its relationship to 60 Minutes but accurately displayed to suffering that is occurring in China during to massive piles of electronic waste. The movie and photograph can both be associated with pathos. The movie, Ferngully allows the child inside to come out, connecting to a simpler time. This connection will hopefully help the audience see the damage caused on an emotional level. The photograph features barefooted children standing with mounds of electronic waste. In that does not teach the raw truth, I do not know what does. Logos is represented by the book and the song. The book teaches the audience that there are ways to recycle without being costly. Therefore, there is a solution. The song logically conveys the values of recycling, but will most likely appeal to a younger audience.
