He talks about her in a tone that makes her seem completely incompetent. He says “If she would have only looked at this before she baked that cake” (Cooking Terms), “Even Margie found that she could, learn to cook, when she discovered the significance of the terms used in cooking” (Cooking Terms), and “Tim will never know she ruined her first cake” (Cooking Terms). The viewer’s begin to focus on the narrator’s tone towards Margie rather than the information being taught which creates a distraction from the purpose. Some viewers, especially women, can be bothered by the tone being used because of how condescending he is towards …show more content…
Logos is successfully established because the definitions of the terms mentioned in the film are consistent with the definitions today. The film adequately teaches the select terms included in a way that is comprehensible to anyone. After demonstrating a set of terms that relate to each other or a process containing multiple terms the narrator sums it up by repeating the terms used in that process or related set. For example, the process of braising includes dredging, browning, and simmering. After demonstrating and explaining each term individually the narrator goes on to summarize “so you see that the term braise includes three other terms, dredge, brown, and simmer” (Cooking Terms). By doing so learning for the viewer is made simple rather than
Quindlen uses logos effectively by using facts from other sources. It shows when she tells us that, “The agriculture Department estimated in 1999 that twelve million children were hungry or at risk of going hungry.” This is only a small example of the facts she uses. Another example is when she tells us that, “A group of big-city mayors released a study showing that in 200, requests for food assistance from families increased almost 20 percent, more than at any time in the last decade.” These examples show how she is using logos to persuade readers.
Logos means the persuading by the use of reasoning. For example, “ No one even knows whether salmon can even survive in the lower San Joaquin, which has temperatures more suitable for bass and bluegill, (McEwen 1).” The quote is clearly a display of logos because the author demonstrates to the reader that the government does not even make sure the salmon can survive in the lower San Joaquin, which then convinces the reader the project is not well thought out and cannot be trusted. I agree with the author’s viewpoint because if the government was really interested in the benefits for people, the representatives would have looked into all the details necessary to be able to succeed with the project. Another example of the author stating logos on his article for the reader to get a better understanding of what the government really cares for is, “Besides, scientific evidence suggests that California’s salmon problems have been caused in large part by oceanic conditions and the environmental mess that is the San Joaquin-Sacramento Delta (McEwen 1).” This quote is an alternative representation of logos since it proves a fact. The fact makes the reader extra believable since he uses scientific evidence about California’s salmon problems. It is clear to me the position that is superior to the other one because there have been numerous studies proving this project will
Logos appeals to reason, which are things like facts and statistics, and it works in the writers favor because it gives more information to the reader, which in turn builds the writer’s case. Nemko opens up almost right away with a “killer statistic” that warns of the fact that even if a student is giving an extended amount of time, if he or she did not graduate from high school in the top half of their class it is very unlikely that they will earn some kind of college degree. That is one statistic that is never heard, which is why it is stunning and a great way for Nemko to start off his argument. The fact that Nemko applies logos to his argument is the first reason why I agree with his proposal that too many young adults go to
To begin with, a husband needs to be honest with his wife. Out of all of Janie’s husbands Tea Cake is the least honest one, but one of the times he does lie to her, but he makes it better. Tea Cake is going everyday and working then spending some nights till late with his friends. Janie wakes up one day finding out that her
Through Ginnie Sue’s actions in the novel, she is characterized as a compassionate women. When Jeannette and her younger sister first enter the Pastor household, Ginnie Sue is polite and greets them with a smile and handshake and, “[...] she offered (them) seats at the table,” (Walls 161). Ginnie Sue continues to be polite throughout the meal and Jeannette soon finds out the similarities that her and Ginnie Sue’s family share. After the dinner Jeannette realizes that despite her job and what other people in the neighborhood may think of her, Ginnie Sue is just like anyone else. By the author having Jeannette discover that Ginnie Sue is similar to herself and others it helps to change her perspective of the family and her original judgements of her being vulgar and ill mannered. This new characterization of Ginnie being good-hearted, redefines her original “label” proving the fact that you cannot base your judgements of a person solely on what others say about
...disrespect from Tea Cake. She threatens him, saying if he leaves her again without her permission she will “kill yuh” (124). Within Janie’s past marriages her husbands treat her comparable to a slave and isolate her from the community. Even though her voice is still developing, she will not allow her husband to show her contempt. During the trial, Janie both matures and shows control over her voice, as she faces the horror of retelling the story of Tea Cake’s death to the court room. While giving her testimony, Janie knows when to talk; however, when she is through “she hushed” (187). By expressing and controlling her voice in court, Janie ultimately reveals her new found vocal maturity, but it is only because of her final marriage to Tea Cake that Janie finally develops an understanding of when and how to use her voice.
...women he has seen walk seven full miles. But at the same time he still wants to feel like the man. In chapter 13, nstead of hitting her to show that, he just wants to be able to support his wife. "Put dat two hundred back wid de rest, Janie. Mah dice. Ah no need no assistance tuh help me feed mah woman. From now on, you gointuh eat whutever mah money can buy uh and wear de same. When Ah ain’t got nothin’ you don’t git nothin’." Tea Cake demonstrates his strong sense of masculinity by making "his woman," Janie, financially dependent on him. He takes pride in being able to provide for a woman who has lived such a privileged life. Although Janie never seems conflicted about living a poor life with Tea Cake, she kind of has to agree to live by what he provides or severely damage his pride. Also Janie likes that feeling of finally having someone who wants to support her.
Logos is when the speaker or writer appeals to the audience’s logic by constructing a well-reasoned argument. ("Using"13). One way the Jonathan Edwards uses logos is by telling his congregation the cause and effects if their actions in this life. "”It is everlasting wrath. It would be dreadful to suffer this fierceness and wrath of all mighty God one moment; but you must suffer it to all eternity.”(Edwards 43). By committing sin in their mortal lives without being converted, the unsaved people will spent their eternal life’s burring in the fiery pits of Hell. Another way Edwards uses logos is by getting his congregation to use common sense. "Many that were very lately in the same condition that you are in are now in a happy state, with their hearts filled with love to ilk that has loved them, and washed them from their sins in his own blood, and rejoicing in hope of the glory of God. How awful is it to be left behind at such a day! To see so many others feasting, while you are pining and perishing! To see so many rejoicing and singing for joy of heart, while you have cause to mourn for sorrow of heart, and howl for vexation of spirit.”(Edwards 44). By using logos Edwards gets the congregation to question their selves. If they can have such great happiness by trusting in God, why wouldn’t they be
To be successful in an argument you must present a logical claim with reasons and evidence that backs it up. When an argument has logos it makes it even stronger. After reading the 3 articles about nutrition in schools, it is obvious that they did a good job in presenting them.
Firstly, Logos is an appeal to logic, this method is used to persuade an audience by reason. “Logos can be developed by using advanced, theoretical or abstract language, citing facts (very important), using historical and literal analogies, and by

He was well-educated at a top school which earns him credibility and he appeals to the reader’s emotions when he makes comparisons and analogies to let the readers relate to him and in a sense feel what he’s feeling. Logos is present because the argument makes sense, and it is not a fallacy. These are just a few ways he supports his thesis and persuades the audience of what he believes in.
Logos is “a strategy in which a writer uses facts, evidence, and reason to convince audience members to accept a claim” (Lunsford). Dr. Khullar utilizes this aspect of writing by primarily using statistics. One
Logos mostly refers to the structure and content of the text itself. When working with logos the meaning and logic of the film itself has to come into play. In the movie Of Mice and Men, Lenny continued to get into trouble, causing George to have to relocate them. George always knew that Lenny was going to get them in trouble due to all of the stunts he pulled and the fact that he was constantly forgetting things that were important. At first, the theme of the movie was fairly happy-go-lucky, then Lenny’s story of why they were there got out and he began to cause trouble again. When he started to cause trouble again, the movie turned more ominous. Eventually George had to kill...
Since before I took this class I had always been attracted to movies or cooking shows. The way food is prepared and the passion that many of the chefs put into their delicious creations. Many of the recipes are part of the person’s culture and they continue to cook these recipes to commemorate an important part of their history. A good example of this is the film Garlic Is As Good As Ten Mothers, garlic being the center of every recipe but it’s of great importance to the different cultures that represented in this film.
