Rhetorical Methods

With the topic that we are presenting about, athletes receiving special treatment, I think there are many different ways to get the audiences attention. First by using logos, we could give statistics about all of the free apparel and other amenities that are given to them compared to normal students. This would spark the emotions of all the students who have to pay for their classes and pay for their tutoring. We could also use pathos to get the other students to realize how much more the student athletes are valued over the rest of us and catch the eye of others within the surrounding communities. The way the university treats some of our athletes doesn't prepare them for the real world if they don't make it as professional athletes. Turning them into intelligent adults throughout college should be the major priority but that's not always the case.
