Begin Again
Taylor Swift's songs are always just what I need no matter what my
mood is. Whether I am happy, overwhelmed, going through a break up, her songs
were always spot on with my emotions. Taylor Swift's songs relate to almost all
emotions and she has done a fabulous job using pathos, ethos and logos to
relate to her listeners. I especially related to Begin Again because of leaving
home and starting new at college. We all had to begin again and form new
friendships; relationships and deal with the pains of missing everyone back
home.
She easily uses ethos in her video, because of her wide spread
respect from the younger population. People tend to believe those who they
respect, and so many people respect Taylor Swift.
She uses pathos by writing this song about a break up or moving on
in life. Almost all young teens and young adults can relate to that in one way
or another. She is genius to relate these songs to such a wide spread audience.
The topic of moving and breaking up will never go out of style as well.
She use logos in her songs by talking about moving on. She is not
trying to tell her listeners and fans to stay in the past. She is using logic
as well as emotions to help them move on. She gives girls hope in the hard
times that they are facing.
This was a great song to choose. I defiantly agree that her wide spread respect is a great example of ethos. She is an icon due to the way she handles her business.
ReplyDeleteI love the way how you described every steps to define ethos pathos and logos in your song.
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
