song

Wah-wah by George Harrison

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/george+harrison/wahwah_20059075.html

Audience: Those that listen to George Harrison's music, people who might be interested in being a star, possibly whoever made him a star.

WATCO:being a star on your happiness?

Enthymeme: Being a star can have a negative effect on your happiness because it may not really be the life you want to live.

E/L/P: Ethos: There is a bit of an apeal to ethos, the credibility is lent to the argument by the fact that Harrison was a star, as such he would have a lot more knowledge of what it's like than most people. Pathos: There is a huge appeal to emotion in this song, using the onomotopia- like words "wah-wah" these words can express much more emotion depending on how they are sung. There is also appeal to pathos in that the very point of the song is that the singer is not happy, and that their audience has been ignoring that, it's something that causes others to have sympathy and identify with them.

STAR: Sufficient: It is sufficient, there is enough there to catch the interest of the listener and make them currious and want to find out more, thus listening to the song and listening to the message.

Goal/Effective: I believe the goal of this song is to make them rethink life and their goals and to see that everything is not as it's cracked up to be. I believe that if one actually pays attention to the lyrics then it's effective, otherwise it's just a cool song
