Unit 1: Rhetorical Analysis WHAT IS IT WHY IS IT HOW IS IT

What is it? Rhetorical analysis is the study of how and why something is persuasive.

The Building Blocks of Rhetoric According to Aristotle, solid rhetoric is based on three conceptual principles: -Ethos -Pathos -Logos

Ethos Something possesses ethos if it has credibility. Example: A car is built by a company with strong track record. - A politician has a history of supporting successful legislature.

Pathos Something possesses pathos if it appeals to the audiences emotions. Example: That guy is driving the Grand Canyon in a mini-van with his entire family, and I want to drive my perfect little family to the Grand Canyon in a mini-van, so I want to buy that car. - That politician grew up in the inner city just like I did, therefore he must know what is right for us.

Logos Something that possesses logos is the logical choice. Example: Jerry has had a Toyota corolla for the past ten years and is hasn’t broken down, so it must be a good car. - John Doe has been successful as a governor, senator, and a US general so he must be a good presidential candidate.
