Bones

baby

         How many bones are babies born with and why do they have more bones than adults? The video by Dk Books explains to us why this is. They state that there are about 300 bones within a human baby but as you get older into adulthood, your bones fuse together. The tone of the man in the video, created a way for people to become intrigued by what he had to say and actually learn something out of it. In the video, there is a skeleton which provide a visual representation of the bones that fuse together and how they look after they do. Our skull consists of many separate bones that are connected with cartilage and then they later fuse together. When I watched the video The Skeleton Book, I felt this video was created to cater towards the viewers ethos and logos because the man speaking in the video was in a doctor’s coat and he came off very knowledgeable on the fact. If you watch other videos of theirs you can see that they are a credible source therefore making the video appeal to the viewers logos as well.

         In the article by Healthline we can see that they want to rely on our pathos in the first paragraph by saying, “It may be difficult to imagine when looking at a tiny newborn baby, but that infant has around 300 bones” (How Many Bones). By reading this, I can see how the author tries to tug at the thought of a baby that you have cared about, nurtured, or loved to try to prove point. The very least, if you don’t have a baby, we all know they are extremely cute so how could they not be trying to access and sympathize with our emotions.

        Ethos is also very prominent in the article. They provide background information to help you understand the Basics. They provide reason as to why a baby’s body consists of more bones than an adult’s body-- to make it easier for the baby to curl up in the womb. The article touches on topics of alcohol consumption during pregnancy to individual bones facts such as, how many bones are in the hand. We can get a lot of useful information out of this article therefore leading me to believe that it this is a factually credible article.
