Part One: Summarise Mark Leruste is a ½ English and ½ French, 26-year-old man from Fontainebleau, France. His main point behind the video is to find a job, specifically in “a creative agency to put [his] skills to good use”. After graduating from the University of Kent in the United Kingdom for business administration in European management, Leruste joined AFA Press Group working in over five countries. Within this job, Leruste gained skills from interviewing and covering reports that were published in “well renowned” newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal and The Sunday Telegraph. Following this, he started an online company for men called Mister Tailor before joining company Insead. Part way through, Leruste listed off several of his …show more content…

With a clear and enunciated tone, Leruste engages his audience with the combination of humour and professionalism throughout. Leruste demonstrates this from the start of his video where he is seen with a moustache left behind by his drink, to the end where he mocks himself, stating “to laugh at my poor writing skills, checkout my website”. This type of conversation could be considered a use of pathos, as he appeals to humour within his audience members. While his humour is evident throughout, he also understands when to apply a professional tone. Leruste demonstrates this when, half way through, he switches from demonstrating his hobbies, to wearing professional attire and explaining his suitability for the job at …show more content…

  • Violent Media Is Good For Kids By Gerard Jones

    1682 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout the analyzing process, logos, ethos, and pathos are searched for and scrutinized. While reading this article, one may see believe there is a lack of evidence from outside sources to back up an argument, and then quite possibly assume it is just made up and not reliable. Granted, Jones seems to use only one source for his article, which does not necessarily mean he does not state any evidence or logos. This whole article is Jones’s evidence, and the source is himself, because the article is a story about the author’s involvement with violent media.

    Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but

  • Is Google Making Us Stupid?, by Nicholas Carr

    ...echniques employed are persuasive and subtle, and this allows Carr to take advantage of all emotional arguments at his disposal. In conjunction with sources pertinent to the topic, Carr’s emotional appeals seem to get his audience thinking, and from the article it is easy to agree with the points he has made. Carr’s use of logos and pathos does bring into question his ethos, however. Fortunately, Carr’s ethos should not be questioned, as he has written several books and articles on the topic. This does not excuse his bias, but it does permit him to speak on the topic at hand. Carr definitely presents himself as a strong literary figure, and his views on the internet are reasonable as well as relatable. This combination of ethos, pathos, and logos successfully allows Carr to write as an expert in this field, and his article and thoughts are not to be taken lightly.

    The movie trailer “Rio 2”, shows a great deal of pathos, ethos, and logos. These rhetorical appeals are hidden throughout the movie trailer; however, they can be recognized if paying attention to the details and montage of the video. I am attracted to this type of movies due to the positive life messages and the innocent, but funny personifications from the characters; therefore, the following rhetorical analysis will give a brief explanation of the scenes, point out the characteristics of persuasive appeals and how people can be easily persuaded by using this technique, and my own interpretation of the message presented in the trailer.

  • Teaching Rhetoric: An Analysis of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

    1041 Words  | 3 Pages

    "most students are already rhetorically savvy but unaware of their critical processes..." Author Jane Fife puts the three rhetorical analysis pieces to work, ethos pathos and logos, in an attempt to teach rhetorical analysis in a classroom. Fife uses a collaboration of all three types of rhetorical analysis. While the author does make good use of the first two pieces of rhetorical analysis, Pathos, and Logos, Fife strays away from the use of Ethos in her article. Fife applies the rhetorical appeals of Pathos and Logos to teach rhetoric to her class and the reader. However, her use of examples in a classroom backed up with little evidence to prove her authority surrounding the subject causes her readers to doubt her claim that Facebook and

  • Princess Diana Dies In Paris Crash Ethos

    697 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the article, “Princess Diana Dies in Paris Crash,” the British Broadcasting Company or BBC remains the ethos example because they provide trusted World and UK news. Ethos demonstrates that speakers and writers are credible and trustworthy. The logos example shown in the article consists of, “Diana, Princess of Wales, has died in a car crash in Paris,” which remains a fact straight from the text. Using logos correctly means that the writer or speaker has a clear main idea, with specific details, examples, facts, stats, or expert testimony. This article does not consistently show pathos because it comes from a news broadcast and not many emotions remained shown throughout the article. The only pathos in this article explains how the Queen

    In conclusion, Merrill Markoe portrayed high comedy using witty humor along with situational irony in the short story “A Conversation With My Dogs”. She does this while also reaching the moral of the story, which is that with some people or animals you have to be super specific or else they won’t understand what you are trying to say. I have experienced this with some people, including my mom who is often focused on her work. The combination of witty humor and situational irony makes the audience

  • An Analysis Of Anne Lamott's Shitty First Drafts

    1237 Words  | 3 Pages

    Pathos is the appeal to an audience’s emotion. Aside from the other two appeals that I have outlined in this essay, pathos is by far the most recognizable appeal in Lamott’s article. The humorous tone of the article is very easily recognized and frankly, it is hard not to laugh at some of Lamott’s uncalled-for sarcastic remarks (whether it be in your head or out loud). For example, when writing about how every writer she knows never writes an elegant first draft, she continues, “All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her” (1). By making such presumptuous claims about this person, some audiences might find this type of language comical or entertaining, which in turn makes them want to believe Lamott and continue reading. In a way this helps Lamott seem credible to some readers, in which case she has created a successful argument. On the other hand, some readers might find this kind of language unprofessional and inappropriate. Because much of the article deals with language that is full of humor and sarcasm, it would make sense to say that Lamott has directed this article towards an audience who is looking for something more entertaining than a typical statistic-filled essay that one might consider mainstream in this field. Whether it be entertaining or absurd, Lamott most definitely uses the appeal of pathos in her

She uses the logos to provide support to her article which she means to convince her audience by use of logic, reason, or statistics.
