Rhetorical Analysis: A Boy And His Dog Duck
A dog can bring many upsides to a human's life. How could you not be happy seeing a cute, furry, and loving creature wagging his tail for excitement every time he sees you? “Pets can serve as important sources of social and emotional support for “everyday people,” not just individuals facing significant health challenges, according to research published by the American Psychological Association” (Dr. McConnell, American Psychological Association). In the creation of this commercial, “A Boy and His Dog Duck. IAMS. Good for Life”, it is very clear that pure joy and excitement fills the boy's life thanks to his dog Duck. Therefore, in order to persuade the audience, proper use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos is necessary and this ad perfectly portrays

One single screen to capture their eyes and their minds.

    The idea that their very loved pets need to be cared for properly prompts a consumer to provide for the pet, and storytelling is a great tool in making sure they remember exactly what brand they should be buying. This ad successfully elicits strong emotional pulls from the pet owner towards the pet, placing heavy value on the pet for the owner’s own happiness and peace. The brand will not soon be forgotten by a consumer, after such an emotion rich story, which is exactly the outcome an ad dreams of having.

    Hitler was an undoubtedly deranged man with the desire to concur a nation, who used inhumane methods to achieve his goal of a ‘perfect’ society. The proud words of Assef about him were, “Now, there was a leader. A great leader. A man with a vision.” (39-40) In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Assef is characterized as a cruel sociopath; his character is created through Hosseini’s use of figurative language and connotative diction.…

    In Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream (1963)” speech, he addresses the idea that in order to fulfill the premise that “all men were created equal,” the people of the nation must work together to move past the injustices inflicted on African Americans in order to ultimately grant them their civil rights. King’s claim is supported by first repeatedly alluding to historically renowned milestones in the fight against oppression and illustrating numerous metaphors to create an emotional connection with his audience. King’s “dream” that he frequently mentions is the nationwide unification to work toward a common goal in order to bring integration of all races and coexist without oppression. By establishing his goal, he creates an earnest tone for the people of America working toward cutting the “manacles of segregation and chains of discrimination.”…

    Hello Thinh! After reading your rhetorical essay, I agree what you said "media embrace the gender inequality and the idealism of a female body." People always see that the photos woman always appeared in movies, TV, magazines, who are in good shape, attractive and charming. It lowers the value of the women because people just appreciate their body and not appreciate their intellectuals. According to what you said "showing researched evidence (ethos), personal interview (pathos) and statistic (logos)", I can understand the purpose of the director that the film is more credibility and persuaded to the audience by using logos, pathos, and ethos. Overall, your essay is well organized, and it provides different sources as well as analyze what you…

    Furthermore, Gloucester redeems himself for all the mistakes he has made in the past. He prepares to commit suicide, “This world I do renounce, and in your sights shake patiently my great affliction off” (4.6.37-38). Gloucester tells us he did not feel the need to kill himself, however this hateful life of his would still wear out. Furthermore, the redemption between Lear and Cordelia states, “When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down and ask of thee forgiveness” (5.3.11-12) rather than “I am a man more sinned against than sinning” (3.2.59-60). It shows that Lear believes he can be happy in prison without his love Cordelia. He suggest all the prisoners to sing, and to support each other in this hard time. Looking at each other past…

    “Maddie” is a heart-warming commercial produced by Chevy Automotives in 2014. It takes us on a journey with the main characters, a girl and her golden retriever, Maddie. Unlike most stories, this tale begins at the end. With a soft, mournful piano ballad playing in the background, we observe a woman in her late twenties standing beside an older appearing golden retriever as she smiles sadly and pets him. They appear to be sharing a special moment as the dog lays calmly in the veterinarian’s. The scene abruptly changes to a sunny, bright day, where the woman, cuddling the dog on her couch, relaxes with a warm drink and then smoothly transitions to her walking him around the leaf covered park and enjoying time with the dog. Next, Maddie, the lively golden retriever, leaps out of the…

    Sand between my toes and enjoying some sun while gathered around with a group of friends is what I call, a definition of a great time. The ad Tampax Pearl from Seventeen magazines sells the product through the use of rhetorical fallacies logos, ethos, and pathos. There are six fallacies, and throughout the magazine they are represented by the text, the women in the white bikini, and the beach: false cause, hasty generalization, non sequitur, and appeal to ignorance, false authority, and bandwagon. In the background are the sounds of waves clashing against one another, the sun beginning to lower, and the scent of a bonfire. The game of limbo used as an entertainment to influence laughter, and competition spread to one another.…

    Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…
