Satire/Parody In many cases, satire and parody overlap, but a satire is not always a parody. A satire does not have to be comedic…, while a parody almost always has some bit of humor involved in its creation... Parodies imitate their subject, while imitation is not necessary in a satire.

Ethos (Ethics) Back to reality - ACME is not a real company, contrary to popular belief. It's something we made up to use as an example of Ethos. The ACME homepage is an example of ethos because of the way it keeps referring back to the character of ACME. ACME is a company that "you have trusted for over 100 years." They even have a “spokesperson” vouching for their integrity.
14
Logos (Logic) Logos Site
15
Logos (Logic) Logos is an argument based on logic or reason. The ACME Research page is primarily logos- based because it appeals to the reason of people reading it. It suggests that Cesium will provide the world's energy for a very long time. It is clean, safe, and efficient, all of which are appeals to the logic and reasoning abilities of the audience. By using such convincing reasons in its argument, ACME hopes to provide the world's energy.

Pathos (Emotion) Pathos Site
17
Pathos (Emotion) Pathos is an argument based on emotion, playing on sympathy, fears, and desires. The Say "NO!" To Acme! page is pathos-based because it relies on an emotional response from the people reading it. By stressing the helplessness of the (endangered) turtle, it attempts to sway people to its side, against the "commercial hordes" of Acme.
