...In my rhetorical analysis of the CoverGirl advertisement I analysis three rhetorical tools that are strongly conveyed to me. The advertisement uses these rhetorical tools to further persuaded audiences to buy the CoverGirl product and even stick with the brand. In this analysis I will cover the rhetorical appeals that try to convince viewers that the product is superior, the use of myth and how it is used to strengthen the persuasiveness of the advertisement, and the rhetorical situation of the advertisement. Let us move onto rhetorical appeal Rhetorical appeal is a very good way to structure any persuasive document and when used correctly it can service its purpose well. Let’s analysis how this persuasive advertisement uses rhetorical appeal. Pathos in this advertisement is very straight forward; it wants the view to be curious but also excited with a hint of wonder or in other words it wants “to raise emotions” (Aristotle, n.d. p. 146) within a viewer. The use of Taylor Swift along with the mention of more bang for your buck, since this cream can beat ones that cost $180, would draw on a viewer’s emotion and cause them to be persuaded because their idol is advertising a product that she, Taylor Swift, is using daily to perfect her skin and it isn’t an expensive designer brand. Next we will focus on logos and its use in this advertisement. Logos is the “logical appeals [that] stress the reasonableness” (Aristotle, n.d p. 146). This advertisement relies heavily on...

...For my rhetorical analysis, I plan on using a Nike advertisement. The intended audience for this advertisement would be consumers who like to stay active and enjoy working out. Through the use of this advertisement, Nike effectively utilizes the rhetorical triangle in order to persuade their audience into buying their product.

...Luke Martino Writing 102 12/9/15 Writing 102 Portfolio Throughout this semester of Writing 102, I have been assigned to write four essays that have stressed the course competencies of subject matter knowledge, writing process knowledge, rhetorical knowledge, genre knowledge, discourse community knowledge, and meta-cognition. Through the process of drafting, editing, and revising three out of the four papers, I think I have been effectively able to absorb three of those course competencies; subject matter knowledge, rhetorical knowledge, and writing process knowledge. The first paper I was assigned to write for Writing 102 was a literacy narrative. For this paper, I was told to write about a past experience that helped influence my current writing and reading qualities. The core competencies that were involved in this essay were writing process knowledge and subject matter knowledge. I used writing process knowledge when I was told to generate ideas for my essay. I began by thinking of five possible ideas and from there I created a brainstorming web out of the two topics I thought would be the most interesting. Shortly after starting, I realized I could only build an effective brainstorming web from one idea. I decided to use the first time I forgot my lines in a play as my main idea for the essay. After I completed the brainstorming web and finished taking notes on what I remembered from the incident I started to follow the writing process that consisted of prewriting...

...| Rhetorical Analysis Essay: M.A.C. Cosmetics VIVA GLAM Line | | | | | | Rhetorical Analysis on the M.A.C VIVA GLAM ad The cosmetic industry is a very innovative and competitive industry where product innovation and brand image is the key to success. M.A.C does a great job differentiating itself from the competition by refusing to subject to the stereotypical corporate image of beauty for its brand. This specific advertisement contains all three rhetorical appeals; logos, pathos, and ethos. The VIVA GLAM line of M.A.C has used many different celebrities to market their lipstick product. In this advertisement I am writing about, M.A.C uses controversial rapper Lil’ Kim, and the Queen of Hip Hop and Soul Mary J. Blige. By using those two celebrities it shows the ethos appeal based on the character and reputation of theses celebrities in the advertisement. It also shows M.A.C’s vision and values all revolve around the notion of individuality, equality and originality. M.A.C also focuses on what VIVA GLAM is and what its purpose is, which shows the rhetorical appeal of logos and pathos. The VIVA GLAM line is the first lipstick created to directly confront and raise money and awareness for AIDS. 100 percent of the proceeds of every VIVA GLAM product go directly to the M.A.C Aids Fund organized in 1994 by founders Frank Angelo and Frank Toskan. Their mission is to serve people of all ages, all races and all sexes affected by HIV and AIDS....

...A Rhetorical Analyst of a Vintage 1930 era Coca Cola Advertisement From the early 1800s, advertisements have been used to portray certain ideas or to sell particular goods and services. You can still see its concept at work every day whether on television, in magazines, billboards, internet, and even hear them while listening to the radio. The Coca Cola Company has been one of the most infamous companies to arrive in mainstream America. Founded in 1886, Coca Cola has invested approximately over 2 billion dollars each year into its advertisements. People from every generation and walks of life could remember Coca Cola’s, “Delicious and Refreshing” (Coca Cola, 1930) iconic statement, which could be found underneath its name and on its logos. At Christmas, everyone look forward to seeing all of the different advertisements on television or gaze upon important figures such as Santa Claus in numerous magazines and during the summertime, watching everyday people at the beach, having fun or eating at a barbeque with very the drink as their choice of beverage. In my research of a vintage 1930 era Coca Cola ad, I can see the use of a pleasant, out-going appeal encouraging the public to buy their soda beverage, in which were at the time are children, teenagers, and working class adults; portraying the message that nothing can satisfy thirst more than making, “a pause that refreshes” (Coca Cola, 1930) other than with a Coca Cola.

...Rhetorical Analysis: Happier Than A Body Builder Directing Traffic Insurance is known for being boring and tedious, something that nobody looks forward to dealing with. In their recent advertising campaign, however, GEICO stands out through their silly use of a body builder directing traffic and comparing him to how happy GEICO customers are. When you think about it, a bodybuilder is the perfect person to direct traffic. He's fit enough to move his arms around for hours at a time and he's big enough to be noticed by passing motorists. In the commercial I have chosen to analysis, a bodybuilder is seen in the middle of a busy city street, flexing his muscles as drivers wait for their turn to navigate the intersection. All this is done in the name of directing traffic, and the wide grin suggests that he’s more than a little excited at the opportunity to show off his hard work with each point and wave. After about twenty seconds into the commercial, two guys are standing on top of a stage on the sidewalk in view of the body builder and they start a conversation: Jimmy: “You know Ronnie, Folks who save hundreds of dollars by switching to GEICO sure are happy.” Ronnie: “And how happy are they Jimmy?” Jimmy: “I’d say happier than a body builder directing traffic.” Ronnie: “He does look happy.” At the end of the commercial, the company’s name and website are shown in the middle of the screen and the announcer says: “Get happy, Get GEICO. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen...

...Tori Williams ENGL 102 September 9, 2013 Opoku-Agyemang Animal Cruelty Advertisement Analysis The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has an effective strategy of promoting an end to animal cruelty by using heart-breaking visuals and persuasive rhetorical appeals and therefore is a more convincing advertisement than any other. The Vegan Outreach advertisement, which is a smaller organization than the ASPCA, also promotes the well-being of animals, but does not quite compare to the ASPCA’s advertisements. The ASPCA advertisements are more effective than the Vegan Outreach’s because they apply the ethos and pathos tactics more adequately. The ethos tactic is demonstrated by using a well-known famous artist named Sara McLaughlin. Although she is most famous for her music, she is also known for her extreme love for animals. Her passion for animals aids trust and promotes more affection within the audience. Not only does it create a bond between her and the listeners, but it also catches their eye. Her fame is an attention grabber because it inspires people to want to be like her. The ASPCA advertisement is also highly effective because it employs the pathos appeal of empathy by providing heart-touching visuals of abused animals. The visuals of the suffering pets are so intense that it produces a lingering feeling of sorrow and sadness that almost torments one’s thoughts and conscience throughout the day. The graphics are meant to stick in the...

...Miranda Chesson COMM 1010 Rhetorical Analysis The image that I have chosen for my rhetorical analysis is an advertisement for the company Wonderbra. In this advertisement it shows an attractive woman, in her mid to late thirties, with only a black bra on, breasts up and pushed out, and her hair tasseled around. In the middle of the advertisement it has a line of text saying “I can’t cook. Who cares?” This advertisement presents plenty of issues, which will be discussed throughout this analysis. The rhetor of this advertisement is the company Wonderbra. The purpose, or goal that the Wonderbra company had was to make it seem to the audience that it is okay to be basically a trophy wife and not do anything around the house if you look like this, and if you have this bra that this company makes then you will look like this and not have to worry about a thing. The intended audience for this advertisement is women that are mid to late thirties, like the woman in the picture, or also it could be guided towards men. If men saw this advertisement they would think that they need a wife or woman that looks like that and they will be more willing to buy them this wonderful bra as long as they will look like this when they wear it. The men could also think that if they had this woman, that they would basically be a bimbo and not even know how to cook, but it doesn’t matter because they look they way they do. The extended audience is the audience that is affected by the discourse, and...

...Advertising: Analysis of English and Lithuanian Advertising Texts Jurgita Vaičenonienė Annotation. The spread of globalization and marketing during the last century triggered the proliferation of advertising genres. The goal of advertisements is to persuade consumers to act or think in a textually determined way in order to boost sales of particular commodities and services. In order to capture attention, convey the message and persuade the consumer, advertising texts use a range of manipulative language devices. Moreover, different cultures may have different expectations with regard to stylistic choices, language use and other preferences in the same genre. Hence the aim of the article is to analyze the language of advertising in English and Lithuanian in order to estimate the specificities of the advertising genre in the two different cultural and linguistic systems. The approach employed in the study draws on the ideas of the functionalist interpretation of text typology and source text analysis as proposed by Nord (1997) and Reiss (2000). The functionalist approach provides an in-depth understanding of the source and target text conventions and functions which are prerequisites for successful intercultural communication and translation. The means to accomplish the task of the present article is the analysis of a comparable corpus of data consisting of 100 English and 100 Lithuanian advertising texts. For the analysis, only the textual part of advertisements is considered;...
