Analyzing The Ick Argument 'Improvise'
“Improvise” was a verbal cue used in the slogan that related to the Ick Awards because the entire event was improvised. In my opinion, “laugh” would have been a better word choice for the slogan. Laughing ties back directly to the key messages of the campaign. Clorox wanted its audience of modern parents to laugh instead of stress over messes. The Ick Award show achieved the goal of making parents laugh because it was unexpected and funny. However, I personally think “laugh” would have created more of an emotional tie from within the

    Geico is a car insurance company which has used several advertising techniques that address many of the fifteen basic appeals, described by Jib Fowles, to gain potential customers (Fowles 1). For instance, the need for affiliation has been catered to through advertising depicting Geico as the best there is. People tend to affiliate themselves with top companies. Emotional appeal is catered to primarily; the premise being to invoke the idea that getting Geico insurance will make you happy. A series of “Happier Than” television advertisements were aired (Geico). Each episode portrays a random scenario, followed by two Bluegrass pickers named Ronny and Jimmy, performing a slapstick routine on a small stage. Each event leads to one picker asking a question along the line of, “How happy are people when they switch to Geico?” at which point the second picker delivers a punch line related to the content of the commercial (Geico). This method utilizes two distinct styles: humor and celebrity (Fowles 11). The approach relies heavily on implying that using Geico can make you as happy as someone else.…

    In an editorial published by The New York Times, the author sees the altering of Mark Twain’s language within The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as an desecration of a rich piece of literature, and does not approve of a new “sanitized” edition of the novel. Although the intention of the novel’s editor was to replace certain words with less offensive phrases, the article’s author sees the replacement of “nigger” with “slave” as a corruption of a historical language. The “n-word” will be identified as the worser term and the substituted word will be viewed as having no relation to the wickedness of slavery. The author argues that the beauty and significance of “Huckleberry Finn” is its ability to precisely interpret the detailed dialect of the time period, and would be severely damaged if another writer would transform its original context.…

    Robert Kennedy’s speech on the Vietnam War on March 18, 1968 addresses the dire consequences of the war. His speech criticized the actions taken by Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson. RFK’s speech uses parallel structure and other rhetorical devices to appeal to the audience’s emotion, logic, and ethics. The use of parallel structure throughout the speech contributes to RFK’s views of the Vietnam War. “.. a year when we choose not simply who will lead us, but where we wish to be led; the country we want for ourselves- and the kind we want for our children.” This quote is a call to the American people to step up and not only be heard on their views on a president by voting, but to speak up on their views of the morality and direction of our country to keep this country good for not only them, but for generations to come. He uses parallel structure to persuade his audience to take his side in ending the Vietnam War. Another quote RFK uses to persuade his audience to end the Vietnam War is,” I am concerned- as I believe most Americans are concerned- that we are acting as if no other nations existed, against the judgement... I am concerned- as I believe most…
