He also appealed to pathos through visual elements, audio track, personal anecdote, and through humor. From the beginning, I strongly got the impression that Al Gore was a rich and important person. The visual elements, the audio track, and through written text, he constantly appealed through ethos, suggesting his power and trustworthiness. This was a very important part of the movie, because ethos eliminates any skepticism from the audience as to whether the argument is credible or not. Al Gore proves himself trustworthy by informing the audience about his trips to the North Pole and South Pole.
A chance to fulfill arête, through competition with others.

Macbeth is highly praised and is referred to as valiant, loyal and brave.
