  4. Rhetorical Critique • A rhetorical critique analyzes a text’s rhetorical strategies and evaluates how effectively the author achieves his or he intended goals. • When writing a rhetorical critique, you discuss: • How a text is constructed • What rhetorical strategies it employs • How effectively it appeals to logos, ethos and pathos.

  5. Rhetorical Features • But, hey! What are rhetorical features and appeals to logos, ethos and pathos? • Rhetorical features are strategies that are used in order to achieve a specific purpose with a specific audience. • The effects of rhetorical features can often be categorized according to an appeal to logos, ethos, or pathos. • Often, a rhetorical feature will appeal to more than one of these at the same time.

  6. An author’s use of these rhetorical strategiesappeals to his/her intended audience in three different ways: logos, ethos, and pathos. (See handout for detailed information on the three audience appeals) In these commercials, what audience appeals are being used? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oHkTR4fXhE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sillEgUHGC4
