“A negative thinker sees a difficulty in every opportunity, a positive thinker sees an opportunity in every difficulty”- unknown. Anne Frank suffered through the Holocaust, but still made the best of what she had. In Churchill, he only focused on the positive views and hoped for a future victory. Therefore, having a positive attitude through tough times is the best response. Don’t forget to always keep a positive attitude. First and foremost, Anne Frank is a great example of someone who keeps a positive attitude during tough times. Even though she was Jewish and had to go into hiding to avoid concentration camps, she still made the best of what she had. As long as she was with her family, she felt safe. Her and her sister had to share a room in the little annex they had to hide in, and it was only plain white walls. That wasn’t going to crush her spirit, so she decorated her room with the posters and postcards she had brought with. Anne Frank never gave up on hope, and neither should you. Another great example, is Winston Churchill. Churchill was ready to go to war and wasn’t going to give up.

In the ad, a family stand together, smiling, Christmas tree in the background, each one holding their very own Winchester rifle; well everyone, of course, except mom. Could you imagine the lawsuits that would ensue, (no pun intended)? This particular ad was used in a Sears Catalogue book. My personal interest in guns, coupled with the absolute absurdity of this advertisement, is why I chose this particular ad to study. The following is a rhetorical analysis of this 1937 advertisement placed in a Sears Catalogue. How this ad appeals to the logos, ethos, and pathos are topics this analysis will further examine. This ad was printed in 1937, which was a very dark and dangerous time for America. The nation was facing a great depression, American icon Amelia Earhart disappeared, and the Hindenburg is blown up while docking, killing dozens and completely destroying American’s faith in passenger carrying airships, thus; successfully destroying the airship era. People were desperate, afraid, and for many, their futures were, at best, utterly uncertain. In the ad, a husband, his wife, and their three sons are standing in a group together depicting a red wall behind them. Part of a Christmas tree can be seen peeking on the lower right corner of the frame, while the dad holds...
