| logical appeals --
remember to look for
facts, numbers, research,
cause & effect,
comparisons, or common
sense. | \fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fightin the same fight that were still fightin amongst ourselves today.\ | coach uses a real number (50k dead) and compares the old war fight to our team’s drama. it’s logical cause he’s showing if we keep fighting, we’ll mess up just like those guys did. | it helps coach get us to stop fighting cause he’s using a real sad example from history instead of just saying “stop being mean,” he’s like “look what happens when people don’t get along; don’t be that guy.” it works cause it’s not just his opinion, it’s a real fact. |
| emotional appeals --
remember to think about
what the speaker is trying
to make you feel and ask
yourself: how that calls his
audience to action. | \this green field right here was painted red, bubblin with the blood of young boys, smoke and hot lead pourin right through their bodies. listen to their souls, men.\ \i killed my brother with malice in my heart. hatred destroyed my family.\ | boone uses graphic imagery (blood, smoke, etc.) and a tragic personal quote to stir emotions (sorrow, guilt). he wants listeners to feel the pain of division. | the vivid, sorrowful imagery and personal loss story make the team feel the horror of hatred. this emotional connection pushes them to unite (to avoid such tragedy), strengthening boone’s argument by tapping into empathy and fear of repeating past mistakes. |

Explanation:

To answer the question about identifying an example of Ethical Appeals, we analyze the speech and the definition of Ethical Appeals (looking for credibility/trustworthiness).

Step 1: Recall Ethical Appeals Definition

Ethical Appeals focus on the speaker’s credibility, expertise, or why the audience should trust them. We need a quote from the speech that establishes the speaker’s trustworthiness or uses authoritative reasoning.

Step 2: Analyze the Speech for Ethical Appeals

Looking at the speech, the line “I don’t care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe — I don’t know — maybe we’ll learn to play this game like men.” or the coach’s role (as a leader/authority figure) could work. However, a stronger example might be the coach’s position as a leader (implied credibility) or a quote emphasizing responsibility.

Step 3: Extract the Quote

A suitable quote for Ethical Appeals: “I don’t care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe — I don’t know — maybe we’ll learn to play this game like men.” (The coach asserts authority and moral responsibility, urging respect, which ties to ethical credibility as a leader guiding behavior.)

(for “Says” column):
The quote “I don’t care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe — I don’t know — maybe we’ll learn to play this game like men.” represents Ethical Appeals because the coach (speaker) asserts authority and moral responsibility, emphasizing respect (a moral/ethical standard) to establish credibility as a leader guiding the team’s behavior.

Answer:

(for “Says” column):
The actual quote from the speech representing Ethical Appeals is: “I don’t care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe — I don’t know — maybe we’ll learn to play this game like men.”
