Self-Evaluation

English-220 is an advance composition class which deals with the preparation in the techniques of exposition for operational writing. We are now at the middle of the semester, which has flown by pretty quickly; the purpose of the class is to improve our writing skills which we have acquired throughout our years of education. After entering this course I didn’t really comprehend the need of knowing the purpose of writing, effectively using the primary and secondary sources of information in academic sources, and knowing how to recognize and use the ethos, pathos and logos, which then were clear to me that they were are all part of the rhetorical triangle.

Coming into this semester I have always had problems when it comes

    Rhetorical Analysis: The Use Of Pathos, Ethos And Logos

    Rhetorical appeals are the different ways a writer can influence the reader. They can be influenced with emotion, logic, and experience. Pathos, ethos, and logos can each be use throughout a piece of writing to convey a specific purpose. Logos uses logic and reason to convince the reader by supporting a topic with solid facts. Without using logos, much of what would be written would seem false and more like and opinion. Using ethos is a tactic a writer may use to give a sense of experience on his/her topic and to give enough credentials to seem believable. Pathos however, uses less credibility, but emotion to sway the reader’s opinion. If all of the rhetorical appeals are blended together correctly, a great piece of writing can be the…

    Assess The Importance Of Rhetorical Analysis In English 5b

    In my English 5b course, we are not only taught just to write, but to also be open minded and see the bigger picture with material that can be seen as meaningful and how to incorporate it into our writing. One thing we are taught is to rhetorically analyze different sorts of text and distinguish how authors communicate their messages to their audience, by using rhetoric and the ethical appeals.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Mary Tyler Moore

    Pullman Distinguished Professor Emeritus in English and Writing award recipient, both describe rhetorical situation as a balance. Lunsford explains the rhetorical triangle as the audience, writer, and subject material, which are all “dynamically related in a particular context,” meaning that triangular harmony is essential and changes for every different piece of writing. In his book The Rhetorical Stance, Wayne Booth further illustrates this point by describing three bad, or out-of-balance stances: Pedant, Advertiser, and Entertainer. Relating back to our in-class discussion, the Pedant is too focused on the Logos aspect of writing, the Advertiser on Pathos, and the Entertainer on Ethos. These “corruptions” are not purely balanced and while they may be successful in certain situations, they will not achieve what Booth calls the ultimate goal of rhetoric: changing someone’s mind. In Booth’s view “[the author] can do so only if he knows more about the subject than we do, and if he engages us in the process of thinking – and feeling – it through.” Again, this concept applies directly to the use of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos in the rhetorical triangle. By saying that the author “knows more about the subject than we do” Booth verifies that they must have established credibility, or Ethos. Engaging the reader “in the process of thinking – and feeling” refers to Logos, and the application of facts and logic to an argument, and Pathos, the…

    Rhetorical Triangle

    The Rhetorical Triangle is on the biggest key point to making sure the paper is well round and can be understandable for whom may read it. The 3 key points for the rhetorical triangle are Logos, Pathos, and Ethos. Logos, which is Greek for ‘word’, is where in the essay the author is conveying his message to the audience. It’s where the actual argument comes in for the paper. Ethos, translates to character, which correlates to how well the author established credibility through his/her work. It’s essential that the author can properly convey reliable information so the audience can trust and believe what the writer is talking about. And last Pathos, meaning suffering in Greek, is where the emotions of the passage is transferred to the reader. It’s important for the writer to…

    Rhetorical Canon Analysis

    Rhetoric and rhetorical canon is valuable to me as an English Composition student because of today’s society on being factual and knowledgeable on current events. My job as an US Soldier requires me to be rhetoric when relaying information on training or guidance. My audience requires me to not have a bias opinion, but instead to lead and explain the mission of the day. While most of my peers and I practice rhetoric in speech it is required for us to understand simple and basic rhetorical writing in order to write rules and memorandums regarding work policies. Being rhetoric applies a confidence to the reader as well as to all listening to you speak, making you more compleing to follow. Using rhetorical canons such as invention, arrangement,…

    Rhetorical Analysis Paper

    Rhetorical strategy is a type of method for writers to manipulate their writing to purpose an idea or influence the reader. Narration, description, and exemplification are some of the rhetorical appeals writer use to grab the reader’s attention. And invoke strong reaction out of the reader. Apart from these strategies, many writers use Aristotle's appeals of Logos, Ethos, and Pathos to persuade the reader. Logos is an appeal to the audience's logic and reason. Pathos is an appeal to the audience’s sentiments and emotions. Ethos is an appeal to the authority or reputation of the speaker. Logos is an appeal to the audience's logic and reason. In my rhetorical analysis, I will be analyzing an article by Heather Mattern called, “Learning to Breathe”. In this article, Mattern proposes increasing physical activity such as running, , consuming raw foods, and adopting a positive mentality to curb depression. Mattern’s article brings awareness to health educators, like myself, who focuses on the study of health related issues like food, nutrition, and prevention. Through the use of use pathos and logos appeals, as well as narration, classifying and diving, and exemplifications to do what?…

This Class not only helped enhance my writing abilities but to also better evaluate the writings of others and forced me to acknowledge the rigorous work of future courses in college.…
