Hello and welcome to my first action project in my junior year for Rhetoric. In this class, we discussed rhetorical devices and situations. We also went over Logos, Pathos, and Ethos. All of these are appeals that people use to persuade and convince someone to, for example, buy their product. Or, in this case, vote for them in the election. In this AP, I studied Pete Buttigieg one of the people running for the nomination in the election. I went through most of his public speeches on gun control and learned what his plan and ideas are. With that information, I used Logos and Pathos to explain his opinion on Gun Control and hopefully persuade young people into being on his side.
Here is the script. I have highlighted and explained which rhetorical devices I used.
