1st) in your group, compile a list of examples from the text that develop each of the rhetorical appeals (pathos, ethos, logos). Be sure to cite the page and frame #s.
2nd) connect these examples to Satrapi's purpose (significance). 
EXAMPLE: 
Pathos: On page 3 readers may identify with the children's confusion when they are suddenly "obligated" to wear the veil. This supports Satrapi's rejection of the oppression that this represents. ]]> 2017-12-12 12:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215379270 cguo1 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215387229 On pages 141-142 it shows logos because even though Marjane's mom was trying to make her feel better, she knew it was Shabbat which means that her friends were probably home during the attack. Later she had also found her friend's turquoise bracelet in the pile of debris which also shows the signs that her friend Need and Neda's family were probably home and sadly had been the ones in the attack.]]> 2017-12-12 13:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215387229 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215387518 Frame 4 p.g 115

The author shows how dedicated many of the people were in fighting for what they believed in and shows how much pain and suffering they were willing to go through in order to make a change in society. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215387518 viselli_zoe53 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215387558

On page 38 and 39 Majane’s ethos is built by explaining the fact that she protested in some of the historic protests of the Islamic revolution called “black friday”. This is similarly shown on pages 40, 41, and 42 when she explains the king eventually leaving the country and the celebrations that followed them.

On page 33 Marjane establishes her ethos because she could fluently read and write as a child.  This allowed her to cultivate her political ideas at a young age.

On page 37, in panels 4-6,  Marjane’s ethos is further shown through her understanding of inequalities of social classes at a young age.  To Marjane, this is a valid reason for the revolution, as her parents have encourged a marxist ideology throughout her childhood.

One page 41-42 Marjane exhibits ethos as she gives an eyewitness account on the fall of the shah.  She was able to use her real memories to show his fall from power and the nationwide celebration that followed.

Her rememberance of Jimmy Carter’s rejection of the shah and of Egypt granting him innocence on page 43 establishes her ethos by showing the vast knowledge that she has about the Iranian revolution because she lived through it.

On pages 35-37, Pathos is used when Satrapi drew Mehri crying, conveying her sadness over the man next door, Hossein, who had turned her away after learning that she is a maid and not the daughter of a rich father. Also, she has drawn Marjane, the rich daughter, laying next to Mehri in order to emphasize that because Marjane was a child, she did not understand the gravity of the social hierarchies deposited onto Mehri based on her financial ability. Pathos is built around the page, and specifically frame 7 on page 37, because of the impact that Hossein had on Mehri, and how Marjane realizes the extent of hardship of which the poor face. The three pages described above all build up to the last frame on page 37, as jealousy, heartbreak, and sadness all describe this small section of Mehri’s life, possibly symbolizing her daily struggles.

During that time, there were many false rumors and assumptions that were made. In the example, Marjane states that people believed that the war would end until the Iranian army conquered Khorramshahr which continued the war. This shows how many people, during the time of chaos, believe things to be true that are not true. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215388563 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215388721 Out of fear, Marjane exaggerated the actions that her mother would take if she found out that she was caught wearing her new clothes by the Guardians of the Revolution. When Marjane was threatened by the women to be taken to the committee, Marjane used her feelings to explain how her mother will punish her if she finds out she was sent to the committee. Marjane explains how her mother would torture her and possibly send her to an orphanage if she finds out what happened. With each excuse, Marjane grew more and more emotional to help really convey the severity of the consequences. Later after returning home, Marjane's eyes were puffy and her mother asked what happened. Marjane dismissed it and went to her room to listen to her music in order to relieve her stress.

Then on page 61, in frame 4 she explains that her idea of a hero is a martyr, and that the more someone suffers, the more of a hero they are. When she tells her friends about all of her heroic family members, she is establishing credibility by bragging that she knows a lot about the war.]]> 2017-12-12 13:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215388726 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215388736 Frame 7 p.g 113

This frame shows the amount of knowledge and experience and adult has compared to an adolescent. It shows how Marjane wants to be more like an adult and be more rebellious. However, she did not understand the consequences of her actions which her mom stresses to her after she caught Marjane skipping class. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215388736 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215388743 On page 142, the author establishes her credibility when expressing what was in her mind and thoughts when she saw that her neighbor's house was decimated. This event explains one of the numerous negative firsthand experiences that the revolution had on her perspective  and overall mental health. Moreover, the event enhances the theme of oppression by portraying the death of Baba-Levy family in a gruesome manner. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215388743 lord_kenzo63 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215389504
On page 11, the author uses a chronological order historical generalizations to describe Iran throughout history and its history of oppression. This helps the reader understand why the nation was in the state it was in 1979 through the use of historical occurrences.]]> 2017-12-12 13:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215389504 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215389539 PATHOS- Group 5(Sophie, Jack, Adam) On page 107 the reader may connect with the feeling of being doubtful when Marji is left alone with the baby. This supports the authors idea of the revolution causing people to abandon logic when she says "Since that day Ive had doubts about the so called maternal instinct"

Moreover, in the fifth frame, the reader can see that Satrapi feels horrible for Ahmadi when she exclaims that she never imagined that an iron could be used for torture.]]> 2017-12-12 13:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215389583 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215389628 On page 47, in frames 2 and 3, Satrapi provides detailed a detailed description of two family friends that were imprisoned during the Shah's regime. They both shared the commonality of supporting communism, creating an example of the harsh punishments for simple crimes during the time period.]]> 2017-12-12 13:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215389628 lord_kenzo63 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215389688 On page 4, readers learn about Marjane Satrapi and her life in 1980, when she was 10 years old, during the Iranian Revolution. Readers may see that the author is versed in the topic of the revolution because of her experiences with a new school system and an oppressive King. 

On page 13, the author uses a a juxtaposition of God and Karl Marx in order to explain to the audience the reasoning for Marjane's interest in Revolution and to show the reader how closely she values God. This idea explains many of the decisions Marjane makes later in the book and give her credibility to the reader in why she created the idea of revolution.

This supports Satrapi's rejection of the oppression that this represents.  

On page 15 frame 2, the reader is able to feel sympathy for those who were locked in a theater and burned alive. Being emotionally connected invests the audience into the revolution and persuade the reader that the Shah's regime is evil and murderous.

On page 32 frames 3-6, Marjane Satrapi is portrayed as a little girl who is not sure what her parents are talking about and how she should react showing her childhood innocence.  However, in the final slide, Marajne is showed reading books to understand everything.  This childhood innocence and individual research and curiousness is congruent with all children, including ourselves.]]> 2017-12-12 13:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215389796 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215390525 p. 144 (slide 3&5) This is an example of ethos because she doesn't believe what her teacher is telling her because she has her own prior knowledge and opinions, which helped convey her own character attributes. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215390525 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215390829 On page 94, frame 4, Marjane states a fact about Nuptial Chambers in Shiite Tradition. This expresses her credibility and extensive knowledge about her culture. Marjane also backs up many of her statements, both political and factual, with visual and factual evidence to further her explanations.]]> 2017-12-12 13:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215390829 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215391387 p. 145 (slides 3-8) This is an example of logos because it uses factual evidence to demonstrates how aggressive the regime is to girls in prison who need to be executed during the revolution. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215391387 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215391761 2017-12-12 13:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215391761 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215393623 On page 90, Satrapi contrasts her father with Mali's husband. The latter clings to material things, worrying about the loss of tangible items, rather than the absolute safety of his wife and children and the issue at hand.  The author does so, in order to show the flaws of materialism, especially during dark times. Furthermore, it shows that Satrapi's dad is highly involved in the political issue, having a large impact on his daughter's political ideology.]]> 2017-12-12 13:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215393623 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215395462 On page 78 (second frame, in the top right), Satrapi presents the image of a dark cloud engulfing the country of Iran. This represents  the weather, but also represents the darkness of the regime and the influence the USSR had on it. This image adds to the argument that Iran's revolution and wars have been influenced by a struggle between the USSR and the U.S.A

This represent the authors ethos as she is personally involved with historical occurrences and further gives credence to her arguments. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215396985 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215398428 Page 74 depicts the fear and danger that Satrapi's mom experienced as a result of not veiling herself. This is a pathetic appeal that brings the audience to display sympathy on behalf of Satrapi's cause. The illogical justification made for veiling by the fundamentalist furthermore pits the reader against his cause. ]]> 2017-12-12 13:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/215398428 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/303699169 2018-11-13 13:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/303699169 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/325638780 2019-01-29 22:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/325638780 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/352533365 2019-04-18 12:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/352533365 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/424104923 2019-12-14 04:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/424104923 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/428248837 2020-01-07 05:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/428248837 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/428248881 2020-01-07 05:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/428248881 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/428248883 2020-01-07 05:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/428248883 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/428248894 2020-01-07 05:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/428248894 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/466255401 2020-03-19 13:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/466255401 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/754006410 2020-09-17 04:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/754006410 https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/808033150 2020-10-06 18:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/slyon1/ocsypjusowe4/wish/808033150
