Pearls- Sade
From "Pearls", Oct 26, 1992, Youtube.comhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfxEbZr8Tjo
ETHOS:
The way the author demonstrates their credibility to gain their audience's trust, and seem reliable. They can demonstrate it through three different ways where are put into categories such as good sense, a way to show their knowledge and understanding on their argument of the point they are making. The second one is good will, where they show through their words, the fact that they understand what their audience needs and how they care about them. Lastly, the third one is Virtue where they show their integrity.
How does Sade implement it?
She shows her moral character through her authenticity in storytelling, on a global issue that involves suffering. Sade uses the reality of human hardship and her use of virtue for her audience to show compassion and awareness. In my opinion, Sade did a good job on her ability to express her credibility and how it helps in persuading her audience to engage with the heavy theme through a more gentle way.
Evidence #1
Sade positions her song through the struggle of a mother and her picking "pearls" when she says "It's going to take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl". This represents the way women bear this hardship through a lens of someone meaningful who is always willing to do the best for their family.
Evidence #2
Sade also includes how there is a perspective of how it takes courage to be willing to be survive and the bravery to continue in spite of hardships. In the song she expresses this by saying "I don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave." Sade makes this statement to increase her credibility of coming from a place of not being able to relate but to understand as a woman.
Evidence #3
Sade also makes her argument through her use of imagery in her lyrics to highlight the depth of struggle when Sade vividly describes the agony of the hardship by saying "She cries to the Heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Hurts like brand-new shoes."
A song, where Sade expresses the reality of women making their earnings within Somalia. It emphasizes the burden these women carry and their willingness to survive.

PATHOS
Pathos is a form for authors to demonstrate to appeal fear of their intended audience which helps put their argument in a specific position to make it stronger and connect to their audience.
Sade's Use of Pathos
She consistently uses strong vocab with heavy significance to create an impact and to appeal to the audience to feel sympathy and an understanding of dark truth that comes from a life. Sade executes her pathos flawlessly as she uses consistent imagery and diction choices to reach her audiences.
EVIDENCE #1
Sade begins with heavy diction to urge her audience to realize the consequences of dictatorship. She says "There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive." She uses those words to express how someone's ability is limited by their gender and access to opportunities.
Evidence #2
Sade also uses a heartbroken tone throughout her song and also continues with "The sun gives her no mercy. The same sky we lay under." By adding this line, it serves a a reflection on the different lifestyles of the Somali women, and how the same sun in other places is seen for enjoyment, in Somalia, it's unrelenting.
Evidence #3
Sade also uses a common experience for those who live in comfort and have the privileged to do so as she describes something her audience can relate to by saying "And it hurts like brand-new shoes. Hurts like brand-new shoes." Sade uses this analogy to draw attention to the small luxury that most have which is something rare for these Somali women. The analogy helps transmit the discomfort that the labor brings and helps connect her audience to the purpose.
Logic:
An author may use their appeal to their audience's reason and how they apply logic to their argument. There are two types of ways authors can show their logic through evidence by either doing it in a inductive manner which is specific evidence and deductive that is from general to specific evidence.
Where is Sade's Logic?
Sade remains understanding and aware of the situation when she decided to release the song in 1992 when the regime within Somalia had collapsed. She also uses examples of true actions done by the Somali women as she does well in transmitting the struggle and the reality of the labor these women had to do in order to survive. Sade does excellent with the inductive evidence to convey her message.
Evidence 1
Sade uses her knowledge of understanding the labor needed for the Somali women to make it alive and provide for their family. Sade describes "Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl." This is a representation of rice and how it has meaning to portray a woman being self-less and putting her child first.
Evidence 2
Sade also involves the merciless sun and the hardship it is for the women to do their job due to the harsh sun and the long day it takes to make a living. Sade writes, "Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It's going to take her to get home." By using a heavy phrase like the sun being able to get to her skin describes the harshness of the sun.
Evidence 3
Sade uses a common word used to praise God which helps show their gratitude when Sade sang, "Hallelujah
Hallelujah." These words represent how the women are thankful for the little they have and shows the meaning behind the pearls and their faith.
