Recommended: Analysis on advertisement

“The Will To Succeed Is Always Welcome Here.” This quote explained the 84 Lumber ad and gave an idea of why it was made. Even though it was one of the highlights of the ad, I saw the journey that the mother and the child went through as more important. I felt pride and it was nice to see America as a country that people love. What I find confusing is that 84 Lumber only made the commercial for a response and immigration does not relate to the company. The ad targeted people of all demographics. Emotional moments were put into the ad so they could connect with everyone. A few examples were when the little girl gave the American flag to her mother or when they found the door to America. Thousands of people would've watched the commercial and many did see the original ad, 84 Lumber tried to have most of the US view it so everyone could share their opinions on immigration. Even though some people thought of the ad as controversial, it …show more content…

When the mother and the child saw the wall and felt sad, we would feel the same way. If they added facts or said that 84 Lumber is the best company the emotions felt from the ad would seem fake. Views of immigration could even change because the journey was long and hard for the two immigrants, but they still traveled to our country. This technique added with patriotism made the ad emotional and well done. I believe that the ad was effective in many ways. It changed peoples views of immigration and provoked the emotional response that the company wanted. The quote and love for our country is what the commercial is about. There's no logos or ethos and that's what helped the ad stay emotional. 84 Lumber made a bold choice in showing the wall and creating a controversial ad that doesn't deal with what the company does. The message of the ad was acknowledged and either hated or loved, so they succeeded in making their commercial

    In The Last Stand, David Harris shows that the "old" Pacific Lumber practiced "selective cut" and "sustained yield" forestry as opposed to "clear cutting". Under the "old" management, "selective cut" and "sustained yield" were seen as beneficial and a more practical way to manage lumber and timber. When the "new" management took over the company, the process of "clear cutting" was taken into effect. Now in charge of Pacific Lumber, Charles Hurwitz played a major part in the debate on how Pacific Lumber should operate.

    This advertisement features Pathos, because the little boy in the advertisement will probably make people feel guilty, because they spend a lot of money on unnecessary things and waste it, but this child says “Don’t I deserve a happy life?”, and this will probably make people from our society want to spend money to support this cause.

    “The Persuaders” by Frontline is about how advertising has affected Americans. It starts out by stating the problem of attaining and keeping the attention of potential customers. Balancing the rational and emotional side of an advertisement is a battle that all advertisers have trouble with. Human history has now gone past the information age and transcended into the idea age. People now look for an emotional connection with what they are affiliated with. The purpose of an emotional connection is to help create a social identity, a kind of cult like aroma. Because of this realization, companies have figured out that break through ideas are more important than anything else now. But there are only so many big

    ...t to reflect that the faces within the stone agree that the food is worthwhile. The deeper we go into the ad, the more it seems that it could be warning the consumer of its food that it is unhealthy and that it has infected the American people to cause them to grow fat. However, if we go even deeper to the marrow of this ad, it can be said that it is a very philosophical was to show, rather than say, the American people that they are gluttons and consuming the world’s resources more quickly than they can be readily produced. The meaning of the ad can change for each and every eye it catches and can mean something completely different for each as well. Does it succeed, in the simplest sense, yes it does, but the further one goes into the meaning of the ad, the greater the chance of seeing something far more sinister and dark than Burger King had originally intended.

  • Rhetorical Analysis On Feeding America

    The impact of the video is strong, because it covers common ground. The video portrays the child returning home from school and immediately searching for food. Many children in America endure this every day. The creator also uses many zoomed in views of random objects, which vaguely fails to tie the video together. This method is ineffective because the different point-of-views exaggerate the contents of the house and draws the viewer’s attention to the fact that the family is middle-classed, which means they are probably not suffering from poverty. The dominant figure—the boy—seems to have on nice, clean clothing. This tells the spectators that the family can at least provide necessities for themselves. Furthermore, from the handmade pictures on the refrigerator and the finger paintings on the wall, the viewers can conclude that they are family-oriented; however, there are no parents in sight. The logic flounders because there is indeed food in the refrigerator. The impact would have been more effective if there had been less food or even no food. Overall, the commercial is simple, easy, and effective. It portrays the problem at hand and then presents a solution. The viewers can easily discern that the video is about child hunger. The tactics that the composer uses ultimately evokes compassion from the audience. The ad has appealed to pathos and ethos and has solidified the ad. The subdued colors and the somber music have depicted how earnest the video is. In just 60 seconds, AdCouncil and Feeding America have effectively broadcasted their world hunger relief

    He talks about how great America is and how all Americans are hard working. In this commercial, the targeted demographic was basically the spokesperson for the ad: blue and white collar white men who believe they are the backbone of the country. In the Ford commercial, there is a parallel to not only the spokesperson, but the how they got to their present, and the values they have in life. The spokesperson for Cadillac is a well known actor was in his mid fifties, white, and male. This appeals to a majority of America with power who are already well off. However, in the Ford commercial, the spokesperson is young, black, and female. She represents the minorities in the aspect of gender, nationality, and the millennials. Another parallel is how the man in the Cadillac commercial showed off his house, car, and family throughout the commercial. It was clear that he had money and did not necessarily work to achieve it. In the Ford commercial, the woman started off at her job, then changed into a professional outfit. Rather than boasting about the things she has, she showed how hard work got her to where she

    The comments made about the family were unwarranted and unnecessary. They were just made by people who wanted to be hateful and not celebrate that other were included. The southern area is more known for their traditional ways while, they are not the only states that have racism. Racism will continue to be a problem as long as people do not want to learn about what others go through and their lifestyle. By commercials being more progressive things will slowly change just as the world. Though the ad was pulled off the air it was able to reach so many families but, also make them feel like American is still a melting pot. Accepting people’s differences is what America is prided on so, people should be able to love and be happy with whomever they

  • Visualizing Palestine Essay

    947 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are no logical fallacies in the billboard advertisement. All of the information offered is explained correctly, and there are no obvious leaps in logic or judgment. All of the authors and co-creators of the image work for very credible organizations such as End the Occupation and Visualizing Palestine, so all of the authors appeal to the audience’s ethos. The arguments and claims offered in the billboard advertisement are very logical, keeping all logos intact and at high regard. The absence of logical fallacies helps keep this logos in high regard also. The advertisement makes very subtle appeals to the pathos of the audience. The only remotely emotional appeal comes from the text stating, “Instead, we’re arming Israel.” The connotation in the word “arming” and the use of the minimalist artwork of military equipment makes a very subtle appeal to the pathos of the audience, but it is not the strongest appeal. The tone of the advertisement is not very pathos heavy at all. It is not solemn, and it is not supposed to strike fear into the audience. The sole purpose of this advertisement is to inform people of the way the United States Government is sending aid to Israel. Visualizing Palestine does a wonderful job at making sure the advertisement is logically sound, instead of trying to persuade the audience using bells and
