both texts demonstrate a sense of reality.with the image through scenery, while the opinion piece through logics.
image: - good with pathos(color, framing, etc.) -> evoke strong feeling of hope and peace from readers -> better understanding of Native American culture - so so with ethos(context) -> issued in the author’s photo essay+being a (sth) -> credible for readers, but not sufficient to be rigorous - bad at logos(no device)
opinion piece: - good with ethos (professors as author, evidence from professors) -> very credible or well-known sources -> convince the readers - good with logos (statistics and research as evidence) -> rigorous and sufficient evidence and explanation -> persuade - little pathos (surprise evoked by little contrast of stereotype and reality; photo with kids practicing calligraphy with teacher) -> suprise is mainly to evoke curiosity for readers to read more, not relate to persuation; the photo demonstrate the fact, while also evokes ==unrelated emotion==
opinion piece: more logics, 而非修饰后的视觉效果(浅层奇怪调动,而不是深入理性分析)
拆台:若logos, 攻击evidence;
critical thinking:
Text A - 对儒学的误解:厚积薄发 -> 美化考试驱动的教育体系 - 逻辑上有问题(Chinese readers) - real essense: “learning in many aspects, asking questions carefully, thinking carefully, distinguishing clearly, and practicing sincerely.” (博学之,审问之,慎思之,明辨之,笃行之), - 工程师,但是没有企业家,发明家(selective bias) - PISA的evidence过于狭隘
ethos作者有利益牵连 pathos有p图的嫌疑
