After you have created your own blog, watch the political advertisement below. Then, on your blog, publish a posting that responds to the following three questions:
I. Identify at least three different forms of pathos employed by the Romney campaign. Pathos is when a person makes an argument using emotion as a force of persuasion. A few examples of pathos are: appealing to fear, love, sex, humor or patriotism.
II. Analyze the style...that is, how are camera angles, colors, music, and sound bytes used to create Romney's ethos?
III. Symbols are powerful weapons in a rhetor's arsenal. Identify one symbol that you see in the advertisement and argue what that symbol's purpose is.
AUGUST BLOG #1 IS DUE ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 7th, 2009!
