In the documentary film Supersize Me, Morgan Spurlock highlights the effects fast food can have on your body and the problems it can lead to. While watching the documentary film, many elements related to Burke's views on rhetoric emerged. Morgan seemed to identify with the audience, in a way of wanting to bring them together as one, seeing the damage that all fast food can have on our bodies and showing that we can all face it together. Supersize Me used identification, symbolism, terminological displays, and more to show viewers all the problems that fast food brings. Say no to plagiarism.

Get an Original Essay In the documentary, Morgan Spurlock was the narrator and his aim was to demonstrate to others all the harmful effects of fast food on our bodies, but also the problem of obesity in America. In the 100-minute documentary, Spurlock pledges to eat only McDonald's for 30 days straight and promises to eat everything on the menu at least once. He also sets some rules for himself that will help him with the project. The rules consisted of: having to purchase everything he consumed through McDonald's, having to overindulge in his meal whenever asked, and not participating in any type of physical exercise. Watching the documentary, I realized that Spurlock was not only trying to entertain the audience, but also leave an impressive effect on the viewers about how fast food causes harm to our body. I believe he did this by showing the way his body transformed during the process of his project. Morgan was a healthy boy at first. But at the end of the project, he had gained about 25 kilos, he was depressed, his cholesterol was very high, etc. I felt that being able to document this experience from start to finish played a huge role in the function of the rhetoric because it was supporting what Mark was trying to show the viewers and giving them real evidence. For example, by showing how over the course of 30 days his body had changed dramatically and providing all the necessary evidence from what he ate to what he did day after day, he demonstrated to viewers that what was happening was actually real, and showed a many of the fast food customers who were actually being persuaded to have a bad diet by the fast food industry. Spurlock's tone in the documentary is a little sarcastic but it is very easy to capture the audience's attention. You could tell that the effect fast food has on our bodies was very important to him, and he needed to make sure he spread enough awareness about it to make the viewer understand that we needed to do something about it. His choice of words also helped keep the viewer's attention because it entertained the viewer and made the viewer feel connected to the topic. Much of what is shown in the documentary has a rhetorical role because it leaves an impact on the audience. I feel like the part that left the most impact on the audience was towards the end of the 30 days, when Morgan decided to film and show real examples of the amount of fat he had gained or sugar he had consumed, and when the amount was so immense, it will obviously have a real impact on viewers and make them realize how horrible fast food is to us and how something needs to be done in our society about fast food. Something that was also used a lot throughout the documentary were logos and pathos. Ethos was also used, but I feel like Logos and Pathos had a greater effect on the audience. The.
