The Blackfish Argument
In my opinion, the movie, Blackfish, was very convincing. They use lots of techniques to try and convince the audience that Seaworld isn't what it seems like. They include the technique pathos into their documentary to make us feel bad for the whales. They show us cruel videos of baby whales being trapped, then taken away from their mothers. Not only that, but they also show how suffering it is for whales to be in captivity for more than half of their lives. People who were involved in the movie also brought in former workers of Seaworld to share their horrific experiences.
Ain't I A Women?
In this poem, a women in church stands up for her rights as a women. Sojourner Truth proves her point using example such as how they say women need to be helped into carriages, but she's never been helped. Why? because she's a black women. She can do everything a man can do but she still gets no respect for it because in this time, the color of your skin came before everything else. She persuaded the readers by using repetition, she repeated the same phrases to get her message across to us. Nor only that, but she also included analogies in her poem so that we could understand her reasons better.
"Yes We Can" Comparison
For Obama's audience he chose to target republicans and people who are old enough to vote. His technique was to use the "3 examples" to convince the audience and he used quotes from historical figures. But for Will.I.Am, he decided to target the younger generation and he did that by using logos. He included celebrities from all different types of genre and added music.
