11/12/15 - In-Class HW Discussion

·         Overwhelming use of pathos
·         Use of fear, making us scared of what could happen
·         Sad background music the whole time
·         Police officer’s graphic descriptions meant to be disturbing
·         Playing on sympathy
·         Family members feeling guilt, sister talking about sending the text that ended a life
·          Give background information about the characters, create an attachment to the people who died
·         Showing brain damage guy with his doctor, having him trying to talk  about it to invoke sympathy
·         No logos used, no statistics or logic
·         No ethos, never take the position that the good thing to do is to not text and drive
·         Never directly state their message, their message is clear and important enough that it doesn’t need to be said
·         showing one person at a time, crying is more personal and emotional than many people together
·         emphasis on the “last text” showing the message they were sending/looking at when they crashed
·         message is that one text > your life

·         policeman “it never gets easier”
