I thought Mr. Collins did an extraordinary job presenting
Marie's view. He put the reader right at the scene and displayed ethos, pathos,
and logos while placing us there. I never had to guess or wonder what Mr. Collins
was talking about because he made it very clear what Marie's speech was about
in the very beginning. Mr. Collins sets his logos in the first paragraph by
proving he has read Marie’s speech and stating specific details about this
event. It is very clear Mr. Collins has done his research and he is very
familiar with this speech. Mr. Collins has experienced an event such as this
that provoked raw emotion similar to Marie's. As Mr. Collins talks about his
experience he assures us that he is creditable and trustworthy (Ethos) because
he has felt these raw emotions before so he can relate. Mr. Collins does a
beautiful job of conveying the pathos in Marie’s speech. Mr. Collins makes you have
confidence that he was feeling the same way she was.
Mr. Collins analysis was clear and easy to follow I never
found myself trying to guess what he was writing about. Mr. Collins is also
clear about what are his views and the views of Marie. He displayed ethos,
pathos, and logos nicely and he also included direct quotes from Maria’s
speech. Overall I think Mr. Collins did a wonderful job on this rhetorical
analysis.
I agreed with your comments on how, when you read Mr. Collins commentary, you can almost picture yourself at the actual speech.He is very descriptive, uses all the persuasion techniques we have learned so far, and ties it all to relevant personal experiences he has had. The only thing I thought was he got a little bit long and may lose some reader's interest.
