Pathos: The pathos in this ad was displayed by the face of the child. What I first saw was his face and then I saw his legs and how one of them is missing and is bandaged up. The blank look that the child has is one of beyond a normal sense of pain. The child’s eye is hopeless, and maybe even loss of wanting to continue with the pain that he will have to endure the rest of his life. Someone who has a clean bill of health will feel a lot of emotions, knowing they do not have to suffer through this (hopefully).
Ethos: The ethos in this ad was the simple words that say “Liking isn’t helping,” and this is when the audience realizes the problem. This makes the audience stop and think, and ideally they realize that a “Like” will not return this child’s leg, it will not pay this child’s medical bill, nor will it pay the medication or the treatment costs that he will have to use throughout the rest of his life. Action must be taken to really help those in need.
Gloria, I agree with you on the pathos and logos, but I'm not sure how its ethos if it doesn't have much credibility, unless maybe its from an organization or program that is advertising maybe you should of looked more information on that and found out more. But other than that good job!
