In the speech, cartman of the show Southpark is speaking to a room of political people. he is explaining that his 8 year old best friend kinny is very ill and is going to die. He explains that if they would allow stem cell research to be done on aborted fetuses again, it would be possible that the doctors could help kinny become healthy again.
 * 1. What is the purpose of the speech? Provide a brief statement of context.**

A political group.
 * 2. Who is the audience?**

This speech uses Pathos. Cartman uses emotions, mainly sadness, to get the attention of his audience.
 * 3. Which appeal (ethos, pathos, logos) is most prevalent? How do you know?**

I dont think it uses any logical fallacies.
 * 4. Is the argument effective? Were any logical fallacies used?**

I think if cartman explained kinnys need for the subject asked, it would have sounded alot more professional and he would have had a more sturdy platform to talk on. but its southpark.
 * 5. How could the argument have been strengthened?**
