    Subaru's Appeal To Family Rhetorical Analysis

    They begin by using emotionally appealing text and transitioning into informational text. For example, they described the Subaru as being designed from the back seat forward. This is an emotion appeal to mothers because it is a reference to where their “precious cargo” sits. It insinuates that the entire vehicle is designed around keeping their child safe and continues by reinforcing the emotional nature of the first statement by explicitly stating that you do not just buy a Subaru for yourself. Once they appealed to the emotions of the mother they seal the deal by providing the facts. “More roomy. More capable. More fuel-efficient” (Subaru. Advertisement). These facts are designed to contrast with the emotional appeal of the first two sentences by being strong direct affirmations of…

    Marilyn Snickers: Super Bowl Advertising

    The commercial begins with a shot of the actor’s/actress’s legs in a white dress before it is revealed that it is a man in the famous Marilyn Monroe dress who is standing over a subway grate with a big fan underneath in the studio. They are trying to shoot a commercial of their own but the actor is grumpy and is not cooperating with the director which prompts an assistant to bring over a bar of snickers for him. Once he eats the bar, he transformed immediately into Marilyn Monroe. The ideology behind this is that in the world of today women are perceived as grumpy, moody and miserable creatures by men when they have not eaten. However, this is not true for most women but when some women get moody when they are hungry it may be hard for them to control their moodiness. This is problematic because in reality it is almost always men that are grumpy when they are hungry and some may even result to violence in some cases if they have had a prolonged period of hunger. However, this commercial proves how men are regarded as great beings and women the fairer sex are reduced to moody beings. This also proves how the media will take any opportunity they get to portray women in a way that most men regard them but the do it by embedding secret message in their ads and posters that would come across to the views as humor but in fact belittle women. This is different form the ads of the early…

    The Mighty Mendit: Weasel Words

    A lot of advertisements will at least throw in a few weasel words like virtually, new, acts fast, and like magic. The Mighty Mendit uses several weasel words to make the audience think the product does something that it doesn’t. They said that the Mighty Mendit is the fast and easy way to mend, hem, and wear it again. They don’t actually claim how fast or how easy the product is to use. It also states the it grabs, adheres, and interlocks to virtually any fabric for a permanent repair. It doesn’t list the fabrics that the Mighty Mendit doesn’t work on or work well with it just states that it will work with most. William Luzt states that, “Virtually is used in advertising claims that appear to make specific, definite promises when there is no promise” (522). They claim that the Mighty Mendit is safe on most fabrics but what fabrics are not safe to use this product on. By using the weasel words fast, easy, virtually, and almost Mighty Mendit doesn’t actually say their product will work for you at…
