Loyalty is often known as being able to remain faithful to one’s own commitments and remaining truthful to your loved ones. It is common for many people to associate this feeling of faithfulness with their pet. Many dog owners know the joy of of having a loyal dog, and how the dog can offer them comfort and love through any life experience. Subaru recognized this and created a commercial, titled “Welcome to the Pack”, released September 1st, 2017. Their ad for the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek gives off the impression that animals have the capability to form and tie together relationships with humans. I will read this text by analyzing the actions of the characters within the ad, their individual interactions with the dog, the significance of connections …show more content…
Butch is very loyal to her, and depicts this throughout the ad in various ways. He is willing to play ball with her, and is always at her side. The woman states how Butch sleeps in bed with her every night, and even sleeps with her that night at the hotel despite the fact that her boyfriend is there. Butch is extra protective of his owner, and does all he can to keep his owner safe and out of harm’s way. These acts of affection portray how Butch and his owner have an unbreakable bond. The bond between a pet and its owner is fundamental for the animal’s well being. A pet is completely reliant on its owner, dependant for shelter, food, and love. This is what causes such a deep link to come about between an animal and its owner. A pet depends on their owner for everything, and without an owner they may just be on their own roaming the streets or even stuck inside a shelter/pound. Butch and his owner have an everlasting attachment. While the text does not state that the woman has owned her dog her a long time, it could be implied to a viewer that these two have been companions for quite some time. Butch is clearly an older-looking dog, and with age comes wisdom. He is a wise dog who knows who is good, or not good, for his owner to be around. He cares for his owner and always has her best interests at mind. By analyzing the …show more content…
Subaru, as a company, finds way to prove this throughout their ad. It is stated near the end that “You can never have too many faithful companions”. While this is in reference to having a car to travel along with despite all the bumpy patches of life, it is also seen as a reference to having a dog. The ad is making it known that while Butch may already be the woman’s companion, an animal has the skill to gain more companions. While Butch seems to be suspicious of the man for most of the ad, he eventually is able to see the good in the man. Once they come together, it can be seen as if a family has been formed. Happiness is very evident in the seen, and a “feel- good” song plays in the background of the commercial. The text is presented in this context to cause viewers to connect joy with owning a Subaru. Ultimately Subaru is depicting joy by displaying strong relationships built through owning their cars, while also promoting how relationships are strengthened through owning a reliable
The 2014 Chevy commercial is filled with pathos. This commercial is about a girl and her dog, Maddie. The commercial starts with Maddie and her owner at the vet’s office. As the commercial goes on we see how Maddie ended up with her owner and the life they had together. The Chevy commercial connects with viewers emotionally by utilizing nostalgia, the constant presence of Maddie in the woman’s life, and the sadness of the impending death of Maddie.
These feelings are conveyed by the reader because the spokesperson is someone like them, who works for the things they have, and is living an honest life. The spokesperson speaks to the audience as if she is a coworker, because she wants the reader to understand that she is like them. The relationship that is shared with the audience is achieved by the friendly tone and atmosphere in the commercial. By making the viewer feel like they can connect with the spokesperson, the commercial was able to spark the interest of the readers. The relationship created with the audience was helpful because now that the reader has a connection to the spokesperson, there is now trust there that will make the audience look fondly on the Ford car. The commercial bonding with the audience has built trust and a feeling of common ground, which will lead to more people considering buying the
Have you ever wondered how much it costs to have and maintain a pet? Burkhard Bilger, the author of “The Last Meow”, explains how Americans spend a lot of money on their pets and that people's “love affair” with their pets has gotten out of control. An observation I have made is that in many movies dogs are treated very well. When I was younger, I watched a movie called Bratz and one character would always have her dog inside a dog purse and they would even get manicures and pedicures together. The dog always had shiny clothes on and it was always very clean. Therefore, I agree with Bilger's argument that Americans “love affair” with their pets has gotten out of control.
This time, the ad was a tear-jerking montage of an adorable friendship between a Golden Retriever puppy and a Clydesdale. The commercial depicts a puppy living on a farm with horses that the puppy considers his “friends.” The golden retriever gets lost and attempts to find his way home only to run into wolves; the horses come and save him. 23 seconds into the commercial the puppy is shown lost and in the rain under a box. The pathos here appeals to a need to want to help the dog. At the end of the commercial after the dog is
The commercial, “The boy and his dog” is about a young boy who lost his dog and surprisingly finds him. A commercial that can attach the audience, it involves rhetorical devices like pathos and a little ethos. Chevrolet made this commercial and wanted to show the audience something special not like other commercials out there. They showed off a product of course but to catch the attention of people they added a little more than just of a vehicle of theirs. Relatable and honestly amazing commercial of a great relationship that you should never give up on the ones you love and care about no matter what.
The commercial emphasizes an altruistic parent-child relationship throughout. It shows all of the incredible ways a father sees his daughter grow through her first years of life and the impact she has on him. Using this relationship coupled with the nostalgia-inducing music played throughout the commercial provides the audience with a feeling of saudade that shapes the advertisement.
I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth and somehow we humans think we’re smarter. I chose this topic about the canine because, some of these canines risk their life’s to protect dog’s best friend.
PetSmart, Inc. is one the largest pet retailer in the country, and according to their webpage , “PetSmart loves pets, and we believe pets make us better people. Every day with every connection, PetSmart’s passionate associates help bring pet parents closer to their pets so they can live more fulfilled lives” (PetSmart). PetSmart knows their pet loving consumer and builds emotional appeals into their advertising to connect their toy products to the audience needs. One of the first things the advertisements try to do is to gain an emotional tie to the audience because the marketing and creative team want to create emotional ties to help them convince their audience that their product is the best product. The television ‘Bobo’ commercial (PetSmart 2007) built strong emotional ties with the audience, and it is a strong use of rhetoric in television. In this commercial PetSmart built emotional ties with their consumers by showing a happy pet owner and their dog through their skilled use of photography, engaging music, and humor.
In America vehicles are more than just vehicles, yet they give each individual a sense of trust and reliability. At the same time however, with the increase number of vehicles on the road, as well as the distractions such as cell phones etc., used by young people today, the needs involving the use of safe modes of travel becomes apparent. In view of this need, Subaru, successfully markets its product by focusing on this need for accident risk reduction. At the same time, it exceeds its goal persuading the viewer by appealing to one of the strongest emotional needs in our nature. For this advertisement appeals to an emotion that by itself, crosses all barriers of culture, custom, race, sex and religion, for it is an appeal to the emotion of love. Specifically, and, in the implicit message of Subaru, the message is even the stronger in a sense, in that it subconsciously taps into the reservoir of the deep emotional love that a parent has for their child. By the use of this appeal not only is a parent persuaded to buy a car that will minimize the risk of accidental injury to their children, but they will internalize this message for their own safety and that of all their loved ones as
Almost all the families that own dogs treat them like a part of the family. In the story How the Dog Became Part of the Family, it stated "According to a 2015 survey by the Harris Poll, ninety six percent of owners consider their dogs to be a part of the family." Since the dogs get special treatment from their owners they will do things for them, like encroachment foxes, clean out rats from somewhere, hunt ducks, and also even pull sleds on snowy days. Dogs can be malign gard dogs for people that treat them like kinfolks. The dogs and humans can have a very special bond. "When a dog and a human gaze in each others eye a chemical is released that causes the dog and human to feel adjacent." For example, in the story How the Dog Became Part of the Family, it states that, "The Harris Poll found that 38 percent of U.S. dog owners cook special meals for their dogs," Another thing is walking a dog a lot can improve people's health and can cause less accentuation. Less accentuation causes a better day and it is helpful to kids with autism. When dos get walked it makes you and the dog feel
Having a dog can be a great experience for people who enjoy their company. These animals are usually friendly and active; they are intelligent and can develop a strong relationship with their owners based on love and care. However, having dogs is a big responsibility for the person who owns them, because they are animals, so they cannot support themselves. Dogs need someone who can feed them, give them love, and someone who can help them exercise. Moreover, these animals need big spaces in order to run and develop their muscles, so the owner has to know that he needs to take a walk with the dog several times a day.
It tugs at the viewer’s emotions as the car is comparable to the “white whale” of Moby Dick, being so difficult to obtain. The Need for Guidance can be applied to the Chevy ad as the father loved the car when he was young and still loved it in his older years as a grandfather (Fowles). The Toyota ad completely relies on the Need to Dominate. The ad talks about towing capacity and nothing else.
“A dog is a man’s best friend” goes much deeper than the phrase might initially imply. Recently many medical journals have begun to identify with the many and varied benefits of pet ownership. Men have always relied upon animals for work, transportation, and survival. As times have changed, man has begun to appreciate a different bond with animals. Gone are the days of animals running free outside around the homestead, for now animals are allowed inside and are considered by many to be an integral part of our daily lives! Medical studies have found that animals have a much greater intelligence level than originally thought. Through proper training and experience, animals are not only household pets, but also are becoming an accepted form of medical treatment.
Loyal bonds created between friends, co-workers and family members are part of what drives the success in people’s working and personal lives. Loyalty between a customer and his or her retailer create long lasting business deals while loyalty between two spouses creates a secure family life. The appreciation for loyalty is also more apparent with these kinds of benign interactions. Source A discusses a dog that “stays with owners body for 30 hours in the snow”. This level of loyalty to another individual is not only flattering but is sought out for when looking for a partner or
All pets-especially dogs- come with commitment. Being a dog owner, I feel satisfaction by providing them with an exceptional life, taking proper care of my pet, and training them
