Pathos, Ethos, and Logos of Castle Park

Since my blog isn't that popular, I would just like to restate that I will be doing my Public Analysis on Castle Park, a place that I pretty much grew up around.

Ever since I was little, I always wanted to play outside. I always wanted to have fun and for some reason could never get rid of all my energy at home, so I would go outside and play, or bore myself to sleep. Everytime we see a swingset or a slide, we think back to the times when we would play on those and how much fun we had. There are trees everywhere at this park with a duckpond. I always thought of that as being a relaxing environment to be in, where this is no hustle and bustle, you're not trying to wiggle your way round people who walk too slow, and you're not constanlty surrounded by others. To me the environment of castle park is an emotional appeal because it really changes your mood and how you feel because it's such a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere.

I'll be honest, I can't really think of an ethical appeal for a park other than it is a pure place with no deals, savings, or sales. It is more of a place to come to relax and even work out.

The only logical appeal about castle park is that it is a place where you can do more than one thing. There is track so you could come to castle park mainly to walk, jog, or run. There's a swingset for you to swing on. Everything you see at this park serves a purpose for the human being, it is there for you to use.

  1. Your blog is not that popular? Very sad...Im glad I chose it to write on then. I think its a great idea to pick a place that you grew up in, it will give a very complex and in depth analysis of your space. Perhaps it could be considered an ethical appeal because when people are there interacting it allows you to get a better since of who they are (just trying to help you think of something, I thought this was a little difficult as well. Also maybe think about the location and who actually decided to pick the location of the park and why exactly did they make these decisions.

  2. Well i will do my part to make your blog a little more popular. Your place seems to be a very nice space. I think your emotional appeal should be very in depth because of the way you speak of how the park makes you feel good and changes your mood. I do think you might be able to speak of the way the park encourages excercise for your ethical appeal might be a little challenging but i think you will be able to find a way to make it.
