Persuasive Reading Analysis: Video: Two of a Kind - Hey, Little Ant

Persuasive strategy	Yes / No	How the author used it?
Claim – States the main   point or stance	Yes	This clip begins with a single view or perspective meaning that from the boys point of view the ant is nothing to him, and if he hurts it nothing will change the world. From the ants point of view he feels very threatened by the way the boy is explaining to  him how he's going to die.
Big Names –  Mentions experts and important people to support the argument	No
Logos – Uses logic, numbers, or   facts to support the argument	Yes	The ant provides a number of facts about why he should not be squished. The boy presents as to why he should squish the ant. e.g gather food to feed their young or their whole colony.
Pathos – Appeals to the audience’s emotions	Yes	The ant is being treated like nobody, this leads to bullying. Although the ant can fight back even though he's tinier than the boy. These actions make me feel proud for the ant because even though the boy is bigger than him the ant is still acting more mature than him.
Ethos – Tries to build trust and credibility	Yes	Both the boy and the ant respond to the views of each other to make them think about the situation from their perspective.
Kairos – Builds a sense of urgency   for the cause	Yes	Because at any point the boy could put down his foot and squish the ant.
Research – Uses studies and   information to make the   argument seem more convincing;   this can be in the form of words, graphs, tables, or illustrations	No
