  1. PERSUASIVE RHETORIC When people write for others to read, they become guides for others.They show readers new places and help readers see places where they’vebeen with new eyes.

  2. Persuasion

  3. Let’s see how it works • So, I looked up the popular "got milk?" ads that I see in magazines all the time. The one below is one with the celebrity Hayden Panettiere... • Sure enough, all of the persuasive concepts were found in the ad.

  4. ETHOS • Ethosis "credibility...most professionals and leaders are assumed to be competent and trustworthy until they have acted otherwise." Since Hayden Panettiereis a celebrity, then it makes the advertisement credible. People think, “If this fabulous person drinks milk, then it must be a good thing for me."Right away, people are going to look at the ad and know think that it is something significant or reliable or trustworthy.

  5. PATHOS • Pathos could be found in different ways. The emotion in her face is very strong and confident, which kind of sets the mood for the ad. The first line of the text says, "You don't have to be a hero to feel invincible." we can explain pathos as "the emotion of the message. Drawing upon the emotional premises of certain words that construct a very moving message."Using certain words like hero and invincible gives the ad a strong, heroic emotional feel.

  6. LOGOS • Logos is explained as"The logical message. It appeals to facts, figures, and experts." • The ad says that "Some studies suggest teens who choose to drink milk tend to be thinner.” This statement gives the ad a sense of professional/expert advice.

  7. Proposition • The act of suggesting something to be considered, accepted, adopted, or done. • Astatement that affirms or denies something. • The PRO or CON side of an a DEBATE

  8. Argument • It is your FIVE PARAGRAPH PERSUASIVE ESSAY! • It’s what you write in it to CONVINCE, Persuade, and Arguethat YOUR side is RIGHT. • Use QUOTES, FACTS, STATISTICS – anything that is EVIDENCEfor your side of the argument.
