Select one of the sample speeches found in the textbook. Analyze the speech for its use of logos, pathos, and ethos. Identify examples in which the speech makes appeals to audience needs and attitudes, and state what behavior or set of actions (if any) the speaker wants the audience to engage in. Estimate the extent to which you could attend fully to this speech without being distracted by the characteristics or qualities of the speaker. Note anything the speaker says that works to enhance the speaker/audience relationship, and state whether it promotes perceptions of the speaker’s expertise, trustworthiness, similarity, or attractiveness.
