So you wanna lock me in boxes now, do you?

Purpose: To get the attention of women, parents, and the higher up. To try to change how women are raised and treated, increasing their statuses.
Audience: Women, parents, Japanese government, everyone.
Claim: Women need education and need to learn responsibility. Also the way parents raise their children needs to be changed.
Pathos: Ms Kishida used a lot of pathos in her speech. Through her words she showed her frustration but to me in a calmly manner. She probably wasn't fired up and screaming, given the background of Japanese people to be of the quiet nature. But I could feel the passion she had for the topic as I read it. When she uses the line “The parents of the daughter in this box treat her not with affection; rather, they bring her only harm.” That would get any parent riled up and angry. They are raising their daughter in the way they were taught and believed, yet this person is saying they are harming them. They would probably be appalled too because they believe they are shielding them and protecting them not harming them.
Ethos: I thought she had ethos in her speech but very little. I know that she grew up in Kyoto so she had to have seen or been in a box before. She is also a woman fighting for her freedom so that gave her ethos right there because she is woman and goes through what they woman back then went through. When she talks about the reading that are passed down to be read that gave her some ethos also because she was able to show that she knows what she’s talking about.
Logos: there was no Logos at all so then the speech wasn't as well supported as it could have been if it had, had numbers.

Effectiveness: Very effective if I were in Japan at that time I would want to follow her because the way she spoke was brilliant her examples were perfect.
