Rhetoric Word Examples From Cell Phone Article

The link for the article is here:

Ethos:
Some, like Bruce Newman; an editor for an AAA magazine,”
“Hilary Davis, a journalist for The Rocky Mountain College paper,”


Pathos:
We all remember the tragic day, April 20th 1999, the awful Columbine High School Shooting. Two students opened fire on many innocent people that day. Frantic 911 calls were made. Dispatchers and parents were on the line with students using their cell phones to call out for help. Imagine the heart ache if you knew someone dear to you was in danger and you had no way to reach them.
“CRASH!! You were driving down the highway on a rainy day, when a driver loses control and slams right into you. After you are done spinning out, you reach for your cell phone; with the last amount of energy you have left to call 911.  This simple call could save your life, or someone else.”

Logos:
“In a study published by the AEI-Brookings Joint Center, a team of researchers compared the effects of driving while talking on the phone and driving while drunk. They concluded that drivers that were using cell phones exhibited greater impairment than intoxicated drivers.

So don't be the guy who ruins everyone's movie by keeping your cell on. Cells need to be used with moderation and responsibility.”
“Many cell phone customers buy their phones with only emergency use intentions.”
