Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Now that you know what Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are, you need to find a video or image that you think is using these appeals. I highly recommend against you finding these videos by searching for things like "persuasive videos" or "ethos videos". As you are watching shows or advertisements, you should be paying attention to the attempts at persuasion. Then you can find a link to that video or advertising on Youtube or another publicly accessible website.

Select an example of a persuasive situation. It needs to be either a video or a picture. Submit the link to the video or the picture (or upload the picture) - Again do not search for "Persuasive Videos". YOU MAY NOT USE ANY OF THE EXAMPLES USED IN THE MODULE VIDEOS.
Every persuasive scenario has all three rhetorical appeals of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. However, the amount of each changes in every example. In the SPCA (Sarah Mclachlan)example in one of the videos in this module, the focus was on Pathos but they also used Ethos and Logos. In fact it is impossible to have a rhetorical situation that doesn't use all three appeals. You cannot just use Ethos and not use Pathos and Logos. There is logic and credibility in the SPCA video. However, it is not the primary rhetorical appeal. Your task is to explain to me in detail, how each component of the rhetorical appeal (Ethos, Pathos, Logos) is used in your example. In the process of doing so, tell me which appeal is the primary appeal. If I was doing this assignment, it would take me between 300 to 600 words.
