convince the audience members that the speaker has their best interests at heart. How does
this speaker build ethos? Feel free to also refer to the speaker’s profile information from the
ted.com webpage as you build your answer. ↓
David builds ethos by building up the trust with the audience by sharing embarrassing photos
and moments and them showing humility.
Pathos is an appeal to emotions (everything from humor to horror) in order to sway an
audience, while logos is the use of data/evidence to prove one’s case. Did this speaker rely
more on pathos or logos in her/his presentation? What argument or point did you find most
compelling? Why? ↓
I think that David relied more on pathos and appealing more to emotions that logos and
appealing to data and evidence. I found that when he told an embarrassing fact that helped
him to get to his goal it was very compelling, because even though it was embarrassing it was
necessary.
Purpose defines the reason behind a presentation. What does this speaker want his/her
audience to think or do after hearing his/her presentation? ↓
The purpose of David’s presentation was to show people that you can do anything even if
science says it nots possible and that sometimes you need to push the boundaries of what is
possible. With the right attitude, never giving up on what you want, and trying new thing all the
time nothing is out of reach if you just keep pursuing you goal or dream.
Write two specific things you learned from this presentation. ↓
