Recap of the Ethos, Logos, Pathos, and Forum

I would have to agree with Liz. I could not have recounted our presentation anymore eloquently. Bearing it all out there, and exposing the truth of Breast Cancer can be alarming. However, now that WE, as a class, understand issues concerning Logos, Ethos, and Pathos, we can strip the emotion, filter the logic, and pinpoint their ethical issue for the better or the worse.

Having been enlightened and 'entertained' after last Friday's presentation, I certainly hope that Timothy Treadwell did not persuade you to bear it with the grizzlies. In the beginning of the class, I tried to convince you that Mr. T was suicidal and that he was apart of murdering his girlfriend. It is difficult to say he is guilty of murder and suicide at the same time if you have not watched the whole movie. In fact, I anticipated the class disagreeing with me or at least being confused. Lulled and fascinated by his comical energy and insight. You could not see. You did not see beneath the pathos and HIS logic to agree with me in convicting him of murder and suicide.

The point of the exercise was to have you watch Tim in action and find out how the documentary appealed to our understanding of Ethos, Pathos, and logos. If not that then how the film used these ideas to convince viewers of his plight in saving the (nicely populated amount) of grizzly bears.
