This topic was better explained in 15 minutes, than in 4 hours of school listening to my professor read a piece of paper with words on it.

Write a paper arguing he hates his job lol. Then write another arguing for a tuition refund! I couldn't stand boring profs either. Poor students get ripped off in so many ways. Angerating. ✌️😝🍁

Thank you, very helpful though the music made me feel strange all over.
A rhetorical device (content, argument, story, humor, sarcasm, sentence length, transition, voice, structure, strategy, and any other choice about how to present information) is just a tool available to the author/speaker. Rhetorical analysis is when you evaluate how effectively those devices were used, which are exactly what helps or hurts logos, pathos and ethos.

Thank you for the clarity. I am doing an online class and hearing the information vs reading it makes a HUGE difference to me. Thanks so much you helped me a ton.
I was struggling with this topic but I'm so impressed with your lecture. Thanks for your lecture.
After over 3 years in post secondary, I now know how to write a paper. Well done
i watched this vid twice.. once before writing my essay and again before hopping in the shower ;)

Somebody please write rhetorical analysis about how this was helpful, and somehow include the dating site music 💀 Then paste it in thr comments
my guy here saved my life! much needed broski! Thanks for the clear explanation
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try some simpler ones in the future and see how ppl like them.
I am so glad I found this video! Thank you!
so so helpful, better explained than my teacher has in the past 2 months
OMG that background sound!!!!! what is this a dating site????!?!?!?!?!?!
he got all into it and bit down on his lower lip and that helped the music out a bit lol
YES!!! What a simple explanation! Why is it that some people are so much better at teaching than others... you rock, thanks so much for taking the time to do this video and I hope you can side step the idiot remarks below. As far as the music, I thought it was a nice touch. :)
I like the jazz music, good grove. My teachers on KZread needs it while sharing information.
A year later I come back to this video to get a good refresher. Thanks again good sir!
Very helpful, sir! I enjoyed the smooth jazz in the back too
This is very helpful. Thank you!
This was very helpful. Thank you!
I found this video very interesting the man in the video talked about Ethos, Pathos, Logos and I learned that when I was taking English 1010.
super super helpful! went through a couple videos for a half hour or so and this is by far the most informative and helpful! thank you! i now understand the overall purpose of the rhetorical analysis more clearly and can tackle it confidently!
I have an ap test tomorrow and I didn’t understand this no matter the explanations and this !!! It helps
Your teaching is rhetorically powerful!
This really helped me, thank you!!
SO HELPFUL!!! Thank you!
WOW! Thanks this was a great example I enjoyed it I will play it again.. THANK YOU SIR!!!!
I found this to be very helpful. Thank you!
This helped so much was confused on ana ssigment. Teacher explained this but it wasnt as depth so thsi helped!!
Omg thank you for this!! Im doing a rhetorical analysis on Jon Ronson's TED talk about shaming. So i didn't know what to look for when watching his talk, but thank you!!
In other words, if a particular organization helped you grasp the ideas presented better, then you could say it improved logos. If it helped keep your attention and interest, you could say it improved pathos. If it influenced your opinion of the author as a skilled writer (as long as it didn't seem "too" skilled and manipulative), then it enhanced ethos.
Thanks for the tips on writing and setting the seductive mood
Thanks this is very helpful.
Thank you for sharing this video, it was really helpful.
FYI here's a simple rhetorical analysis analyzing a current-events photo. Whether you agree with the author or not, you'll probably find yourself doing a mental rhetorical analysis of the article itself - are the points convincing? Do the arguments reveal bias? forward.com/culture/356537/why-times-trump-cover-is-a-subversive-work-of-political-art/ Rhetorical analysis is always subjective, but how persuasive and balanced can you make yours?
Thank you! Helped so much!!!
this video is so helpful, thanks man this is really gonna change the way i right my rhetorical analysis.

This teaching is fantastic!!! You explain all of the details extremely well and have given me the tools I needed to write my Rhetorical Analysis on Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron. I am so hopeful now that I have seen this and will refer to it as I go along in my writing. THANKS!
This is an amazing video. I love it I do understand better. Thanks.
sososo helpful, thanks!
Thank u! I’m really struggling with rhetorical analysis.
Awesome video. I am doing the assignment now. Thanks
All jokes aside, this video helps a lot. I was literally having a panic attack bc I had no clue where to start with my paper lol.
This is my favorite video on this topic. The style makes it super easy to remember and the music is perfect!
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. And an interesting music choice, to say the least...
Thank you so much! 🙏🙏
Oh my goodness, Thank you so much. Now, I know how to complete this stupid essay that I've been so stress about for the pass 3 months
This was so helpful.

Beautiful vid!!
Thank you!!!
Wooow ! Thank you... it can not be better than this. Only 15 minutes ❤️🙏🏻
This helped alot thankyou
I also found his humor subtle and hilarious at the same time.
How would rhetorical devices tie into a rhetorical analysis? Can they support/detract from the ethos, pathos and logos? Or do they simply denote stylization?
Good video. I got 2 days to done mine and I'm really confused what to do.
Good luck!!
was soooooo helpful!!!
Rhetorical analysis of this video Great Presentation!!! That is all!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!
What is the background music? I know some posters have complained about its "soft-core porn" qualities. But I really like the opening chords.

It's something that came free with Adobe Premiere. I don't remember the track name.
The information presented in the video was precise and informative. It helped me to better understand writing a rhetorician analysis and provide me with key points to empower me with the ability to write a rhetorical essay. Thank you.
Thank-you!!!
I didn't get the data site out of this i did get some good information .
Thanks very helpful

Needed more confidence/clarification before writing my paper...this helped. Thank you :)
thank you!
I get distracted very easily and I found the very opposite with this video. The cadence of the music was a great thread to keep me focused on what was being said. No visual distractions--also great. I would think a podium (or other props) and animations would add distraction. I hope you attempt to get more feedback before making changes based on one comment! :)
My prof referred us to this vid and yes this is a great explanation also you look like Jimmy McGill
thank you, you unlocked my mind now lets do this paper that is due tomorrow 3:), it seems easy now.
This helped me so much! But, when writing my paper, can I use "I" statements to defend my arguments on what I believe? Or is it strictly third person only?

It depends on how formal your paper is. If it's fairly casual, you can totally say "I." That said, saying "I think" usually weakens your point, because you're reminding your readers that it's only your opinion. If it's more formal, you generally don't say "I" because we used to think that would keep things more objective and accurate by removing all subjectivity. We now know that's impossible, but the old rule lingers.
Thank you for this comprehensive coverage of the topic. Not only am I in an online Rhetorical Criticism class (as a Communication major), without the benefit of open discussion of this topic, I'm a middle-aged college student who used to be a voracious reader, but whose fibro-fog is beginning to really futz with her reading comprehension - on top of the fact that progressive presbyopia means I can pretty much only read digital copies of my textbooks now, if I want to avoid eye strain and headaches. It's frustrating to be someone who used to be able to best absorb these kinds of concepts by reading about them, but who now requires more verbal explanations to wrap my brain around it.
Good luck!
How am I supposed to get 5 pages on a music video? X(

The Writing Process (The Writing Center: The Writing Process) will save you. Start by brainstorming all the aspects of the video that you could react to: sound, style, visual, combinations of how sound & visual support each other, good aspects, bad aspects, audience: who would this appeal to and who not?, purpose: is there a message here? If so, what makes it effective (or not)? Once you make that list, Next, make sure you're making complete arguments for each point you make - make a clear claim, cite specific evidence, and explain how your evidence proves your claim. By the time you finish these steps, you'll probably see that you could write 10 pages if you wanted to.
THANK YOU
D) what was the context of the piece? Why did they choose satire? Was it based on their personality or the position of their readers, etc.? There are a few ideas for you. Good luck!
Interesting talk on rhetoric analysis. However, voice pitch is low.
OMG, I finally understand what a rhetorical analysis is thank you !
This video explained what my online class could not. Thank you so much!
Looks like Saul Goodman's younger brother. Same hair.
thank u sir i kinda have an idea now
Sure. If you want to focus on the satire, you could point out things like this: A) how did they create the satire? What were the layers of meaning in it and how did they say one thing yet make it clear that they meant another? B) how will their audience respond to it? Will they get it? Will they agree? Will some readers feel offended? C) what was the purpose of the piece and did they accomplish it effectively? Could they have accomplished it more effectively with another style?
very informative- 15 minutes well spent!
you're the shit man you saved my life
