Everyone Has Sin

I heard rhetoric was used in a sermon , it was very useful to persuade people to agree their opinion.

First of the sermon , there was a speaker talking about mid-autumn , because that time was in mid-autumn , and that festival is very important festival for Chinese , because have many great meaning and story about mid-autumn, so he used ethos to start. then , he described a scene that was a good weather , so they can see the moon very clearly , people think a family should stay together on that day , it means the family can together forever and hope everyone will be better , it was ethos and pathos , everybody trust this implied meaning ,and it appeal people emotion , because everybody love their family, so it was credible and authentic. after that , he mentioned moon again , he said :"although people are not together , but the moon people watched is same one , their hearts are together." I am a international students , it made me really miss home , I can feel that big different between at home and in other country , so it was pathos. all of that were reason he wanted to prove , people should worship God , because God can give us good weather , so we can appreciate the beautiful moon.

Then he read the Roman book for audiences , it was authority , so that was ethos , it can enhance the emotion and explain his point more powerfully. then , he gave a example that was some people fear about aids , and it is hard to heal , so many people fear to have sex with prostitute , but some people still do it . although these two kinds of people did different , but their ideas were same . he used this example to prove everybody have sin , just because some people don't have chance or fear to commit , but they want . so their ideas were same , so they are same , everybody have sin . this example used logos , he used a reason to support his opinion , it was logical.

He used a lot of ethos pathos and logos in sermon , it was very logical and convincing .

Wiener Stampede

In this Heinz condiments commercial, aired during the Super Bowl this past year, a group of dachshunds are shown in hot dog costumes running towards humans in Heinz ketchup and mustard costumes who end up catching the dogs as they leap into the humans’ arms and lick their faces. This commercial is a specific appeal to pathos as the dogs are dressed up and are meant to be cute. The phrase at the end of the commercial is “it’s hard to resist great taste” and this is stated while the dogs are licking the humans implying that the dogs like Heinz and that humans should buy it as well because the cute dogs in costumes did.

Marilyn Monroe's Shampoo

While browsing on Google I found an old advertisement.  The ad was for Lustre-Crème Shampoo. It featured Marilyn Monroe, known for her beauteous looks and her parts in different movies. One of her movies was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Lustre-Crème was attempting to sell their shampoo through the use of fallacies. By saying that Marilyn Monroe that tells you nothing about the actual product: it simply attracts you to the pretty face in the picture. Using this as an argument of why someone should buy your product is quite illogical. Just because Marilyn Monroe uses it doesn’t provide assurance of its abilities. They attempt using snob appeal by trying to make the audience believe that they could be like Marilyn Monroe if they use the same product as her. They use appeal to illegitimate authority by using Marilyn Monroe to promote their product. Although she herself is a customer, this is still rather irrelevant. She herself has no type of expertise in hair products and knows nothing t...

Weight of Glory

In Mr. Cline's class a few weeks ago. We took the day off in a way from our normal classes. Instead of continuing to read the books we were assigned and discussing them, he read us the sermon by C.S Lewis "The Weight of Glory." Its a long sermon, but one worth reading. It is about the confusion many people have on the topic of what we desire the most. He explains after much background information, that we all desire true happiness. And through that happiness, we long for heaven, our true home that we were designed for. He explains that glory is not what many people think of as being "famous" in heaven. But more that we are honored by our Lord and Father. For it to be like the scripture passage "Well done, good and faithful servant." C.S Lewis does a fantastic job at being persuasive here, and if read by the right person aloud, can have an excellent effect. He clears up lots of points that people bring up that are not true. Such as the point of glory...
