In the beginning of this year, houses were becoming foreclosed. As time went on, more and more houses were going on the market because so many were being foreclosed. I know people whose houses had foreclosed, and their life became very hard. They had to borrow money from the bank to survive. This cartoon is showing this event. Because houses are foreclosing, more people now have to go to the bank to borrow money. However the bank isn’t very fond of this. This is the reason why our country was in debt in the first place. We keep borrowing and using money that we don’t have. We are in this circle going around and around. The state, or our government, forecloses houses. Now we don’t have a place to live. So, we have to borrow money from the government to buy another house, and eventually pay them back. However, had the government not foreclosed the house in the first place, we wouldn’t have to borrow the money in the first place.
This cartoon expresses logos the most. He is pointing out that the reason people are at the bank to get money is because they don’t have a house. The author is showing that it’s obvious why people are borrowing so much money. He is also expressing irony. The man from the bank is saying “Go home crazy people!” yet they can’t go home because they don’t have the money to buy a home.
This cartoon relies strongly on pathos. It raises the frustrations over Wall Street and the housing market. This pent up frustration is currently being seen in the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement spreading across our nation, though this isn't necessarily directed at the housing market. Many people resent Wall Street and the banks and blame them for our current housing problems.
From the artist's point of view it shows many people, kicked out of their homes due to their inability to pay for their homes. Angered over this, the people crowd Wall Street, as they have no place left to go. One pompous man from Wall Street looks down on the rabble and tells them to go home, not realizing they can't due to actions he may very well have been involved in.
There is some appeal to logos, saying that since these people have no money and no home, and since the bankers had some hand in this, they are at least partly responsible.
Ethos isn't established as we do not know who the artist is and he doesn't have many facts supporting his view within his drawing. For all the audience knows, the artist is a thirty something year old man still living in his parents' basement spending the majority of his time playing video games.
In the United States, we have been facing very difficult circumstances economically. We are in boat loads of debt and our government is scrambling for answers and solutions to our seemingly unresolvable problem. To put our debt in perspective, I will give an example I recently heard. I learned that we are now over 32 trillion dollars in debt! According to author and politician, Joel Rosenberg, it would take about 32,000 years just to reach a trillion dollars of payment. When I heard that it was hard to wrap my head around how LARGE that number really was. With this said it is no secret that this massive amount of debt has been negatively affecting homeowners. Debt has caused job losses and joblessness is a rising problem. If people don't have jobs they can't pay mortgages and bills, and when that happens, banks spring forth like starving animals, biting at a chance to get some money. Many people are now facing the disturbing reality of foreclosure. Many poor souls get a letter in the mail containing the details of their terrible loss. Many families lose their homes places where they live and feel safe. It is no wonder that people are protesting adamantly across the nation. Many are in the midst of crisis and are protesting in the hopes of receiving a response, receiving help. The melancholy irony, however, is when the arrogant banker pokes his head through the window and, irritatedly, tells the crowd to go to their non-existent homes! This is an enormous appeal to pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos is obvious in every fragment of this cartoon. The color scheme and play on melancholy irony make it very clear that the artist is appealing to emotion. The appeal to ethos is in the fact that they show they are showing the reality of foreclosure and are supporting the people affected by it, thus creating a sense of reliability and trust. Lastly, logos: they use facts about foreclosure to help support their point.
This cartoon appeals highly to pathos because on one side it shows that many of the houses have been foreclosed and the bank does nothing to help in the matter giving these people no where to go. While on the otherhand yopu have ethos because if you look at information from the beginning of the year up until now you will see that many houses have been taken by the bank due to the payments hat could not be made. Those numbers have steadaly slowed but are still rising and this will just cause more people to protest. Finally we have logos, this cartoon demonstrates a simple cause and effect chain. This being said the more houses that are foreclosed the more people that will join the protest.
This cartoon appeals to pathos because it has foreclosed houses and that affects people because many houses are being foreclosed and people are mad about it. It has ethos because it includes the fact that these houses are being foreclosed and the bank doesn't care, all they want is their money. Logos because it shows that with foreclosure comes riots, petitions, and boycotts. It's a very serious but simple cause and effect.
Earlier in the year many homes were being foreclosed on. This was due to the massive drop in the economy, which caused people to lose jobs, and made them unable to pay loans on their homes. This is partially because people took out loans on homes they couldn't afford in the first place.
In terms of appeals, it appeals to pathos by showing the people whose homes have been foreclosed who are now without a place to live. However, to present a counter-argument, it is partially their fault for trying to buy a house that they couldn't afford.
With ethos, it shows how homes are being foreclosed on. Logos is used in a very simple manner, cause and effect, houses foreclosed, people unhappy with the bank.
This cartoon implies a harsh reality in the world right now due to the loss of jobs and houses being forclosed on because the economy has been thrown in the toilet. The regaining of jobs is easier than “citizens” are making it though, with farmers ready to hire legal citizens but can only find illegal ones.
The cartoon applies to pathos very highly due to the fact that bank doesn’t really care about it; their only concerned about the money. Which in a sense, makes sense, because of how much debt the U.S. is in.
With ethos it is hard to tell which way the artist could have been going with his or her view. It shows the harsh reality of life these days though.
The recent rigorous, relentless activism displayed by the 'Occupy Wall Street' demonstrators has surely sparked a National response no doubts. Their primary agenda as non profit equal rights opportunists has been displayed on numerous occasions since their incipiency earlier this very year. They started out has a Canadian-roots Media association known as: 'The Adbusters Media Foundation'. They started to receive a fair amount of attention when they proposed a peaceful occupation of Wall Street to protest corporate influence on democracy, addressing a growing disparity in wealth, and the absence of legal repercussions.
One of their more recent focuses was on the topic of foreclosure. What is foreclosure specifically? A foreclosure occurs when a property owner cannot make principal and/or interest payments on his/her loan, typically leading to the property being seized and sold. When the housing-market basically plummeted over-night in 2008 a massive array of Fore-closure cases arose all over the Country. Because of the inability to finance / pay their 'property' the real-estate market, as-well as the economy in general became "Money Losses galore". Occupy Wall Street demanded corporate accountability for the home foreclosure, because of the recent fraudulent activity centered around home foreclosure. These fraudulent activity's included pre-foreclosing houses without owners consent.
In terms of Ethos, Pathos and Logos I would honestly have to conclude that this political depiction primarily encompassed broad aspects of Ethos. Ethos was represented by the Bank. The Bank itself is portrayed in my opinion as an oblivious, conceited, grandiose demi-god who 'stands above' the general population. The Banking industry has become very crooked I'm sure that you're very well aware.
The cartoon is depicting the wall street protesters doing what they do worst, protesting wall street. The wall street bankers are saying "why don't you all go home" when in fact it's their fault so many people don't own a home. The cartoon appeals to pathos because it claims wall street is the reason all these houses are foreclosing, which is based on fact. The cartoon also appeals to pathos because basically the wall street bankers are saying "we don't care how it affects anybody else as long as we make money", which should engage the readers emotions.
Fists in the air, foreclosure signs as far as the eye can see, and blood-curling mobs are just the beginning of this horrendous sight. It's no secret America is in debt, but what's really keeping us on the edge of our seats? The sad fact of the matter is that people are no longer able to pay their loans and end up crowding the only place left to go: Wall Street. High and mighty in power, an arrogant man standing at the very top of a tower instructs the mob to leave, when he is actually the very cause of this mass hysteria.
Pathos is presented here in numerous aspects. The bank is viewed as a monster, because of it's selfish tendencies to only care about money. Also, it shows how people are feeling about their homes foreclosing and the pain they have to go through.
The cartoon mainly uses pathos by showing how upset people are over the fact that their houses are being forclosed on. Logos is also used by showing that the banks are partially responsible for everyone losing their homes because they loaned the money to people who were unable to pay it back. The artist uses ethos by siding with the people who are losing their homes and making the banks seem like the bad guys which builds trust with the audience.
The first panel of the cartoon depicts a large group of houses that have gone through foreclosure. From the start, we see an appeal to pathos. Without even knowing what the second panel shows, we already begin to feel for the people that have apparently lost their homes to the banks. Once we read the second panel, we see the large bank building towering above the world below, as though the people in charge of the bank (believed they) were better than the average citizens. We continue on to see that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are being chastised by the banks for protesting. We see that the banks don't care about our people, and it upsets us. This cartoon has an extremely high appeal to pathos. It also appeals to ethos because of the references to the Occupy protests. They have been going on for a while now and if you don't know about them, you must live under a rock. The cartoonist establishes ethos by bringing up current events such as this.
I, for one, think that this cartoon insidiously permeates every subconscious level of obviousness. Why, I’ve seen more vagueness on a blank piece of printing paper. Still, the cartoon is commendable in its own right, considering the bustling, social ineptitudes from our very own banks. Yes – times have grown harsh for homeowners. Grim, even. This is why modern day homeowners would rather spend their dusty days cloistered within their old nostalgia, the times of truly outdated American conservatism. They’ll live in a simple time, where a house was enough to realize one’s possibility, no, the REALITY of the American Dream. And they’ll be damned.
In case you didn’t know, banks have sparked recent protesting among homeowners, specifically protesting within the realms of “labor disputes”. What else is new?
This cartoon appeals to anyone over the ages of 21, an age where one finally realizes their true mark on the contrived, social world we live in. It is at this age one is condemned to their own independence, alone, without the support they had known for so long, an age where childhood casually waves “goodbye.”
In this cartoon, pathos runs wild, like a lonely cheetah prowling the desolate prairie. Most all of us can somehow appeal to this cartoon, whether it be a regrettable encounter with a bank, or simply the emotional strain provided by owning a home.
Sure, there’s plenty of protesting, but there is no big conspiracy, nor are there any reasons. They have merely been denied a specific reason for all of the occurring foreclosures based on the simple logic that reasons are not required. Fairness doesn’t exist. Once again, injustice prevails.
Immediately we see pathos, because we feel bad for the people who once owned all the foreclosed houses. When you look at the next panel, you assume that the owners are now the people protesting on wall street.
There is not as great of an appeal to logos. But it does lead you to believe that the people Immediately we see pathos, because we feel bad for the people who once owned all the foreclosed houses. When you look at the next panel, you assume that the owners are now the people protesting on wall street.
Ethos is not really shown, except that it seems that the author is for the people (us) and not for the big business people.
The audience is American citizens (both the average person, and the big business people). The speaker shows his view from the people's eyes.
