I went to 24 hour fitness at the beginning of this semester to get a gym pass.
Audience: Me, 20 years old, BYU student who plays Lacrosse and needs to get in shape before the season starts. I’m trying to decide between 24 hr and Gold’s gym. I need to be able to freeze or cancel my account when lacrosse season starts because I will be working out with my team and don’t want to pay every month for a gym I am not using.
Argument: They want me to get a member ship with them. WATCO me getting membership at 24hr on working with my schedule.
Claim: If I get a membership at 24 hr they will work with my schedule.
Reason: Because if I get a membership at 24hr they will let me freeze or cancel my account at any time without charge.
IA: Any gym that lets me freeze or cancel my account at any time without charge will work with my schedule.
Ethos: The sales women was wearing a 24hr shirt with a collar. She had a flip book with her whole presentation on it. She talked really fast and could give me prices and answer questions I had.
Pathos: she tried to work with my schedule and acted like she really cared if 24 was the best for me. She threw in how it was more convenient for me. She acted like she was making this huge sacrifice if she gave me this discount for signing with them that night. Then one of her friends came by and gave her a flyer on if I signed up today I get ten dollars off ever month, and she acted all excited and I’m not going to lie it made me all excited too.
Logos: she made it sound like 24 hour was the only gym that could work with my schedule and satisfaction.
Effective: yes, I signed up without even looking at Gold’s Gym.

I thought this was a great rhetorical analysis. You're really good at coming up with enthymemes. It's kind of pathetic, but I bet that whole thing with the co-worker coming by with a flyer for $10 off was a set-up! Good job!
