Read this excerpt from a student’s rhetorical analysis. In 2013, President Barack Obama addressed the nation regarding the situation in Syria. Obama uses both appeals to logic and emotion to make a compelling argument that military action is warranted to respond to the use of chemical weapons on thousands of civilians in the region. Obama begins by using description to establish pathos. He states, "The images from this massacre are sickening: Men, women, children lying in rows, killed by poison gas." Which is the best addition for providing commentary on the quotation from President Obama? This imagery provides evidence of the catastrophe and builds sympathy for the people and for the president’s plan to use force. The president’s words have an emotional appeal that causes the audience to reject his planned use of force. The president’s words establish logos by using reasoning through an analogy and by using deductive reasoning. This imagery appeals to the emotions of the audience and connects events in Syria to Iraq and Afghanistan to support the use of force.
