Analyzing advertisements can reveal the true intended audience of an ad and how certain rhetorical skills enables that specific advertisement to be successful or unsuccessful.

If a child is upset and truly down for lacking a lollipop, he could be saved by a parent by purchasing that Chupa Chup. In other words, parents could save their children from gloomy and mournful feelings by buying their favorite lollipop. In contrast, this would not have such a simple and clear resolution for adults who deal with depression and are carried to the bar by their helpless and negative feelings. To add, the special advertisement effectiveness comes with the illustration of innocence of the young boy and the child-like world. This makes the ad amusing and brings back parents to a time in childhood where everything was easier and problems were not nearly as serious as they can be in the adult world. In order to feed the analogy, the ad shows the kid’s melancholy facial expression and the tipped over shot glasses to convey the over excessive drinking. The advertisement without a doubt will stir up some emotion for the parents. The innocence of their kid’s won’t last forever and the advertisement sends a purpose to convey the simplicity of children’s life’s and how they are entitled for some happiness and joy from simple things like lollipops. This appeals to parents who will find the comparison humorous and consider to make their kid’s happy with the

Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.
In this generation businesses use commercial to persuade different types of audiences to buy their product or to persuade them to help a certain caused. If you analyze commercial you can see how certain things play a major role in the success of a commercial.

This commercials starts off with guys playing a game of football with an elderly women know as Betty White. As Betty White tries to play football she is tackled to the ground. Her teammates refer to her as Mike when they come up to her to ask why she has been “playing like Betty White all day”. This helps inform the audience that Betty White is not actually playing but instead represent another teammate. As the guys keep arguing Mikes girlfriend calls her over and tells her to eat a snicker. Betty White takes the first bite and then suddenly a man appears in her place ready to finish the game. At the end of the commercial the statement "You're not you when you're hungry" is shown followed by the Snickers bar logo. What this commercial is trying to show is that hunger changes a person, and satisfying this hunger can change you back to your normal self. They use different types

One commercial is for food, the next commercial is for the latest phone. What do all these advertisements have in common? They want to sell as much as possible to the consumer. But how do these advertisements persuade an average consumer to purchase their product or services? Advertisers use an abundance of techniques to unconsciously motivate consumers to purchase or share information about the advertisement’s goods or services.

Showing the men in blue there to protect and serve; yet will do whatever it takes to control the ongoing issue at hand. The way Jenner being shown ditching a high fashion photo shoot ripping off her blonde wig, to join a protest and prance around with every nationality with a Pepsi in hand smiling as saying this is what will make the world a better place.

In order to attract a specific demographic, advertisement companies employ diverse methods of persuasion. Companies, such as Wendy’s, hire advertisement companies to entice target audiences to their products. Wendy’s ad campaign for ‘Where’s the Beef?’ integrates a few different methods of persuasion; credibility, similarity with the target, and likeability.

Incorporating these methods of persuasion, in combination of targeting a demographic of Americans aged 14-40, Wendy’s is anticipating to attract new customers from this demographic to increase profitability.
What captures the attention of people when they view an advertisement, commercial or poster? Is it the colors, a captivating phrase or the people pictured? While these are some of the elements often employed in advertising, we can look deeper and analyze the types of appeals that are utilized to draw attention to certain advertisements. The persuasive methods used can be classified into three modes. These modes are pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos makes an appeal to emotions, logos appeals to logic or reason and ethos makes an appeal of character or credibility. Each appeal can give support to the message that is being promoted.
Advertisements are all over the place. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that you can escape them. They all have their target audience who they have specifically designed the ad for. And of course they are selling their product.

Companies have rhetoric in their advertisements. The goal is to persuade a watcher or listener into believing that their brand of a certain product is the best.

In The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, Pecola, the protagonist of the book, is being portrayed as a young African American girl who believes in her own ugliness under the society’s standards of beauty. Even though her experience is not a typical example of an African American’s life, she serves as a symbol of black community self-hatred.
