my paper

This ad is a picture of Rosie the riveter saying “I’ll give up my choice when George W. Bush gets pregnant”. Rosie the riveter is a fictional character created by the government to sell the importance of the war effort. She was supposed to be the ideal woman worker, one who is loyal, efficient, and patriotic and last but not least pretty. To help promote this fictional character they made a song that became very popular.

George W. Bush was against abortion. We know this because he has said that he didn’t like abortion. He also tries to sway people opinions on this matter by saying that he thinks things such as the abortion pill aren’t safe for women to use and that it may harm them. This may put doubt in some peoples mind if that is really what’s best for them.

They use a well-known character in order to capture their audience’s attention. Then they list their view point. The ad is saying that Rosie the fictional character is pro-choice. I get this from the add because it says when George W. Bush gets pregnant which is extremely unlikely to happen due to the fact that he is male. This implies that she never intends to change where she stands on this issue and believes that all women deserve to have a choice.

During this time most men were in the war. With most of the man gone many jobs were left open. This lead to women having to work. Women responded to this call of work differently. Women with families didn’t want to work but they didn’t have much choice. They took work because they felt it was the patriotic thing to do it was also the economic incentive that lead to many taking jobs.

The ad shows Rosie with her hand in a fist making a muscle to signify that she is strong. The women at this time were treated differently from me...

...eal to logos. Its appeal to logos is through the fact that women make decisions for themselves the best. It also appeal to logos by saying it’s a woman’s right to decide what she should do with her body and that a man shouldn’t be able to make that decision for them

In conclusion the ad shows its appeal to logos, pathos, and ethos by having a woman on it and having her state her opinion. By having the character state her opinion it will make people who see this ad think about the issue at hand. In addition to that the ad uses a simple but effective way to capture the audience’s attention. It captures attention by using a well-known character, a short but effecting statement, and a simple color scheme to draw attention. Doing so helps grab the reader and then further deliver the message of pro-choice and that it’s a woman’s choice to do with her body as she pleases.
