Logos:
The logic fact and cost behind this picture is very obvious. First of all it
shows how bad cigarettes are for one’s health. Also, it shows how big the issue
of secondhand smoke. The cost of having your beautiful innocent child being
affected by your actions.
Ethos:
The credibility of this advertisement is very convincing. Showing a toddler
smoking a cigarette, is very disturbing and eye opening. People, and in some
cases parents don’t realize at times that smoking is just not bad for their
health but also for those who surround them.
Pathos: Seeing
this image is quiet disturbing. It arouses a sense of empathy for this child
who is just a child and is being affected by secondhand smoke. Also, the face
expression of this child, makes it very upsetting. He looks very confused, mad,
and upset revolved all in one.
This is a very powerful and disturbing image. I agree with your interpretation of the pathos in the image. The face of the child says it all. The anger and confusion expressed how harmful second hand smoke is, especially to young children.
