In the project “Mr. Spock’s Logic” we learned about Ethos, Pathos, Logos, and rhetoric. This is, different types of persuasive techniques that commercials or ads will use to draw their customers in and make them want to buy their product. We learned how to do these things by creating our own invention and making an add to persuade people to buy it. I never knew that these were the things that sellers were using to persuade me into buying or wanting to buy a product.…
The point of any speech is to connect with an audience (and persuade them) on a far deeper level than any written form can provide. That connection may be through empathy, or through enthusiasm. An audience can relate to a strong speaker and a well written speech, and can be persuaded into seeing and understanding different points of view. Unfortunately not all speech writers have the insight or skill to do this, and it is obvious not only in the language and tone (formal, indifferent) but in the construction of the text.An example of this would be (former governor general of Australia) Sir William Deane’s speech “On the Occasion of an Ecumenical Service for the Victims of the…
There are many means of persuasion. You can use both verbal and nonverbal communication to persuade or convince a person. The message or meaning of an image can vary based on perspective. The decision to show one thing and withhold something else is a powerful way to use imagery to persuade an audience. How an image is presented—be it using captions or cropping the image to accentuate a certain part—has the ability to focus audience attention on one aspect while detracting attention from undesirable areas.…

It makes perfect sense that to win over the crowd during a delivery; one has to make sure that the crowd likes one as a speaker. However, this is not to say that the words of persuasion and rhetorical invention are not important, in contrary, as Gorgias put it, “…if you have the power of uttering this word, you will have the physician your slave, and the money-maker of whom you talk will be found to gather treasures…, for you who are able to speak and to persuade the multitude (798).” Nevertheless, the manipulation of words is not my emphasis here, it is the appeal of the writer, in another words the ethos, as coined by Aristotle. As audience, we look upon to the speaker; his personality, wisdom, knowledge, and all other characters play a part in helping us forming a perception about him, and this will inevitability affect our responsiveness towards the issues he is addressing. As a result, we will develop into the five different kinds of audiences which mentioned earlier. And the speaker in turn, will have to employ his delivery methods accordingly so as to create resonance with the people. Form this observation, it is easy to see that the speaker’s personality and style and the type of audience are all inter-connected and have to be considered as a…

When giving a persuasive speech my body and voice were my best tools. They we're each particularly important. I did not want to be monotone because I knew that could send my audience into a nap and I did not want to be boring or uninteresting. I tried to put myself in my audiences shoes and say things that I knew would get me listening. I was not trying trying to sell something, I was asking my listener, audience to agree with what I was trying to say. The success of my speech required attention to what motivated my listeners. When preparing for a persuasive speech not many think of how important using ones own body can be. Having project strength, good posture and good eye contact can be the keys to assure the attention of the audience.…

The commercial for Charmin toilet paper with the Charmin bears is an effective use of rhetoric because it makes you laugh, it gives examples of the toilet paper, and it creates trust.…

You must clearly identify the key point of your subject for the audience and then lead them logically toward that point. Merely talking around the subject in a haphazard manner will leave your listeners confused. As a persuader, you must always speak from your audience’s point of view. They will be motivated only what they want, not by what you want. Remember this as you organize your talk.…
