Bandwagon Fallacy Thesis Statement
“This familiar strategy makes the claim that everybody is doing this and thinking that”(Goshgarian and Krueger 48). The ad has a bandwagon fallacy because the ad states that everyone loves there smoothies, so the reader will also. By saying that everyone likes the smoothies, the reader will want to go and purchase one to not feel left out. This ad has incorrect logic because it is not a fact that everyone in the entire world loves the company’s fruit smoothies. Instead it would be more logical if the ad included reasons like there cheap prices or all the different flavors a person could choose

    The producers of this commercial knew its target audience and went after it. It had a strong attention getter. Right from the beginning this commercial had my attention and maintained it throughout the entirety of the advertisement. It had strong appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos. This commercial worked for me, but for others I can see how this commercial came up short in getting their attention. For example, my views towards the music choice, the girl, and scenery corresponded well with what I wanted to see, but if you asked my mother about the commercial I’m sure there would be a completely different reaction to the commercial. In fact when I was watching the commercial in class in preparation for writing this analysis the girl who sits behind me watched the commercial over my shoulder and said that she thought the commercial was “ stupid”. It wasn’t until this moment that I realized the importance of pathos, ethos, and logos and how different each person’s appeals truly…

    The commercial follows a man, that slowly amassed a following of those that need help. The way I view the commercial, is the man isn’t being followed by an actual group of people but is being haunted by the thoughts of those in need. The commercial relies heavily on pathos, ethos, and logos; the use of melancholy music sets the tone of the whole commercial. Putting all this together, allows the viewer to realize what a difference one person can make if they see someone in need of help. This commercial was made to show the various issues in the world.…

    This advertisement is trying to convince its viewers that if you buy the foods they are selling, you can have a dramatic loss in weight. The ad shows a before and after picture comparing the two and how much skinnier she is now just because of eating these foods. Also, it shows a text of how much weight she has lost, and article of how it changed her life, a quote in big bold letters, samples of the food and at the bottom, and it shows the name of the product that is in big bold letters so it gets every ones attention. The emotional appeal I think this one has is the need for attention because of the face that you want to lose all this weight to look good for other people and is not happy with the way your body is already. In my opinion, this does manipulate the public dramatically because everyone wants that great look you can get by slimming down easy.…

    In conclusion, the “got milk?” campaign is a very persuasive work of advertisement. It uses Logos, Pathos, and Ethos in its persuasion very effectively to target its specific viewing audience. Although it does commit a few logical fallacies, it attempts to base itself more realistically than the majority of ads. The ad would do its job of persuading me to drink milk, or at least give up the habit of drinking sugary drinks, in order to be healthier and leaner. If anything, this ad persuades us to reevaluate our nutrition in order to be better human…

This is your own opinion that you intend to back up (think of it like a debate). The thesis statement is your reason and motivation for writing. A non-thesis thesis does none of these things.…
