3. Ethos Paragraph: Remember to link the author’s life to specific lines of the poem
Leigh Hunt was a poet during the 1800’s thus it is amazing that we are still reading and discussing his poems. His ethos has stood the test of time– proving that he must be taken seriously as a poet. Hunt wrote “Jenny Kiss’d Me” as a semi-autobiographical poem after suffering from influenza and having his friend Jane Welsh Carlyle (nicknamed "Jenny") jump up to kiss him when he announced his recovery. This backstory although not the romantic version first invoked from the short poem has the same emotional connotation. The best part of this seemingly simply poem is the powerful emotional connection we feel between Jenny and him. When Hunt writes, “Jumping from the chair she sat in” (2), the reader can imagine the pure joy and excitement. Hunt purposefully has her “jump” instead of rise or walk over– the verb jump proves the excitement Jenny felt. It is in that sweet moment that all readers relate to Hunt and imagine their own love.

4. Step Five: Audience
Who is the specific audience of this poem? Who was the author trying to reach with his/her message?
The audience is people who have not been as successful in life as they hoped, but have love in their lives.
Words:
Analysis:
“jumped” (2)
Showing Jenny’s uninhibited joy at seeing her love and wanting to show him affection. This is the happiest part of the poem (and the speaker’s life).
“weary”/”sad” (5)
Showing his life is depressing– he is both tired and sad. This is showing perhaps life did not work out how the speaker envisioned.
“growing old” (7)
Showing that he is getting older– he is speaking these words of wisdom after living a long life.

5. Step Five: Audience Paragraph
When writing “Jenny Kissed Me,” Hunt was targeting people who have suffered in life but still have love. He is trying to show that love adds meaning to life regardless of the amount of money or success earned. Hunt’s short, but sentimental poem conveys a sense that even if life didn’t work out how he wanted, his relationship with Jenny adds meaning and happiness to his life. This message isn’t conveyed until his last line, when he emphasizes the fact that “Jenny kissed me” (8). This simple kiss symbolizes the love he shared with Jenny and how as he ages and realizes his lack of wealth, the one true memory of his life is being with Jenny and the love that they shared.

9. Kairos Appeal
Kairos (Greek for “right time,” “season” or “opportunity”)
 Refers to the “timeliness” of an argument.
 Often, for an ad or an argument to be successful, it needs appropriate tone and structure and come at the right time.
For example, an ad featuring Avril Lavigne would be more effective for a teen magazine in 2002 than in A Sears ad featuring Kim Kardashian would be more appropriate in TeenVogue than it would be in AARP magazine.

Analysis and Discussion
Clinton Tweet #1
Speaker: Clinton is using Trump’s words to show his disrespectful treatment towards women. She is targeting women and fathers of girls. Using ETHOS to try to destroy Trump’s credibility and PATHOS to create disgust in voters towards Trump.
Clinton is trying to get voters to pick her by making Trump seem misogynist. She is hoping to get voters to question Trump’s credibility.
The ad does a good job of using Trump’s own words against him; however, it does little to make a connection to his political stance. The ad is uses only ethos and pathos and most his voters enjoy his lack of diplomacy.
