I have to agree with alot of the other blog posts in that I found this reading to be boring and somewhat redundant. It seemed like the point they were trying to get at just dragged on throughout the article. It would have been more effective if it got straight to the point. I didn't enjoy the reading because like everyone else said, I feel like it is something that is forced into our heads throughout high school. Ethose, logos, and pathos is something that we strongly focuesed on in my high school speech class. I also find the topics to be common knowledge. Although I didn't enjoy reading this article, I did like the examples that they gave. I liked the example from the movie Bulworth where the senator begins to give his speeches in rap after having a nervous breakdown. At first, the audience thought he was crazy for being a rapping aginv white U.S. senator. But, as time went on the audience found him to be a confident and unique candidate. I also enjoyed reading the openings of the two speeches made by President Roosevelt and President Bush, during time of extreme nation tragedy. It was interesting to read something that is filled with so much emotion. The last thing that I enjoyed reading in this article was the section on song lyrics and grammar. In the song lyrics it didn't really matter if they were gramatically incorrect because it often made a strong point regardless. Overall, I feel like the topic of ethos, logos, and pathos is something that needs to be focused on in writing and public speaking. As for the reading, I feel like alot of us didn't enjoy because it is something we focused on in the past so many times.
