- An example of a sentence that I used Pathos in my essay is “ I felt my skin burning and quickly escalating while turning into the shade of a bright red tomato.” My emotion is showed through describing my embarrassment in this scene. An example of Logos is “ about 8,000 miles across the world from me, in a Chinese province called Fuzhou” I stated the location using factual evidence to support my claim. An example of the use of Ethos is “ She taught me Chinese while I taught her English.” This represents my credibility because it shows how I reciprocate one’s efforts. I give the same amount to someone as I take from them.
- https://images.app.goo.gl/Wy2zRTYVMxuL3coe8 This image from Squid Game is the scene where the game; red light green light took place. This game requires a lot of concentration, speed, and most importantly the ability to be able to stay still. The goal of the game is to try to get across the field within the given time frame. The scary cartoon-looking doll is actually a motion detector that shoots bullets at the players who have lost the game. A player loses if the doll turns around and sees a player move when she has said red light. This is extremely hard because so many players had no idea what they had gotten themselves into. They would never have imagined that this game would be so violent and bloody. After the doll released the first shot, every participant of the game was shocked and ran around frantically trying to escape, causing the doll to fire continuous shots, killing hundreds of players. In the end, the players contemplate if all of this is even worth it, will they risk their lives just because of some stupid prize money?
- This assignment has helped refresh my knowledge of the differences between summaries and analysis. Summaries are just brief overviews of the scene while analysis includes one’s own conclusion by breaking the scenes up to examine them for meaning. Although I know a bit about their difference, I’d like to learn more about them so I confidently tell the differences between them. I realized it’s harder to write analytical summaries as opposed to just regular summaries.

Oh “Squid Game” I saw a lot of scenes on Chinese’s Tiktok. And I like your analysis, after looking at your analysis, I feel like I should go and watch the whole movie. And I agree how you define analysis, “breaking the scenes up to examine them for meaning” because that’s what I did for my analysis. 🙂
You added a lot of depth and detail to a game we all played as children, “red light, green light”. As for this version of the game, I wonder what its origin actually is and if its purpose is ever truly explained in the film.
