10 online personalities include the following: Glass Animals, Alexis Ren, Vanessa Hudgens, Jimmy Fallon, Ellen DeGeneres, Donald Trump, Gigi Hadid, The Lumineers, Kanye West, Milky Chance

1) Glass Animals: This musical group uses twitter by posting updates, pictures, and videos of both their music (brand) and their life. They use the rhetorical device of pathos and appear truly authentic. This is because the music they produce corresponds with their personal style.

2) Alexis Ren: As a famous model, Alexis promotes her image by posting professional images of herself. She uses the rhetorical appeal of pathos/ethos to persuade people to purchase products from her make-up line. Her conversations with her fans seems genuine.

3) Vanessa Hudgens: Vanessa's twitter contains a link to her tumblr account, which features pictures from her daily life. She also uses twitter to promote her new t.v. show, Powerless. Through pathos, she persuades her followers to watch the show. From her personality and interactions with her fans, she seems to me to be authentic.

4) Jimmy Fallon: His twitter contains a link to his t.v. show, The Tonight Show. He uses pathos to persuade his followers to watch his show.

During the election period, I would consider Trump to be less authentic than he is now as current President of the United States.

She also posts images and positive articles written about her to advance her modeling career. She uses the rhetorical appeal of pathos.
