The first appeal in the lyrics is Logo. When the songs says, “I pick up my gun and get back to work”, he really has to get his gun and get back to work. This is because he is in a time of war and his gun is his tool to help keep America free. This is very effective way to show logos because it is very literally in its meaning.  The next appeal of logos is when they say, “ like we ain’t scared and our boots ain’t muddy”, This is also very literal in terms of Irony because he says they ain’t scared but they actually are because they are In war and how could someone not be scared. When they say there boots ain’t muddy they really are because soldier work very hard and they get there clothes and boots dirty. This is effective in to shows how life is for the soldiers and what they go through. The second appeal in the lyrics is pathos. When they say, “Man, on the television said something so I couldn’t sleep”. In the lyrics they do not say who says this but you can infer it’s the soldiers girlfriend or wife. This shows pathos because it shows the emotions of his wife because she is worried about him because the television probably shows a clip of the war or the death tolls of the war. This is very effective because there are a lot of soldiers wife out there that could connect to that. The next appeal of pathos in the lyrics is when the song says, “it keeps me drivin’ on waitin’ on letters from home”. This shows how the letters from the soldier that his parents are sending him are making him feel better and making him not think about the war. The emotion of the soldier is shown here because the tolls of war are weighting on him so letters from loved ones keep him going. This is very effective because many soldiers from war could connect to that feeling they are describing.

The first appeal in the video is ethos. When the songs says, “I hope this letter catches up with you and finds you well’. In the video the mom is thinking of his son when he was little and hoping he is well. This shows that his mother really cares about him and that she thinks of him a lot. This is very effective because many mothers with sons or daughters at war can relate to that feeling of hoping there children are safe. The second ethos appeal is when the soldiers says, “I hold it up and shows my buddies”. This shows how much the letters mean to him. It also shows how much he is thinking about his loved ones and how he doesn’t care what his loved ones are say just as long as they are thinking of him. This is very effective because many soldiers from war can relate to the feeling of the soldier and how good it felt to get a letter from home. The second appeal is pathos in the video. When the songs says, “I might not have said it so ill say it know, “son you make me proud”. This is very emotional and appeals to pathos because the dad is finally saying that he is proud of his son and what the has done. It also makes the dad sad to because he has not shared this with him, but now that he has it makes him feel better. This is very effective because many sons want their fathers approval so many dads and sons can relate to what was said and the emotion that is felt when a parent says they are proud of them. The second part of pathos in the video is when the soldiers says, ‘Cause there ain’t nothin’ funny when a soldier cries, and I just wipe my eyes”.  This is said after his father tells him he is proud of him. This makes the soldiers very happy, which is very emotional to watch because of how close it is it everyone. People like to make there parents happy so watching that makes many people think of there own parents and they can relate to when there parents says they are proud of them.

This song is based on a person who is in the military during the time of war in Afghanistan or Iraq and It shows how his loved ones miss him. It also shows how hard it is for someone to be gone for long periods of time. Another thing it shows is how hearing from loved ones helps the soldier get through his days and makes him feel at home. Throughout the lyrics analysis and video analysis I will be talking about Logos, which is logic and reason, ethos, which is credibility and ethics and pathos, which is emotions and feelings and how it applies to this song and how they use it to effectively bring emotion out into the audience who is listening or reading this song.

The way the song uses Logos, Ethos and Pathos is very effective and it really brings the emotion out of the hearts of Americans.

The family and loved ones of the soldier and the soldier acting as the speaker attempts to tell other families of soldiers and fellow Americans that being gone at war is very hard. They use the appeals of logos and pathos in the lyrics to show what goes on during time of war and pathos to show how hard it is and the appeals of ethos and pathos to show the character of loved one who have people in the military and how emotional it can get when they are gone during the video to get the message across. It appears the use of these appeals are effective in convincing their intended audience.
