This direct fact could grab the audience’s attention and make the think “ Wow, that is a lot of money, it’s fine we don’t help”. Then, by adding the next fact that you can help them by only paying .63 cents a day and the audience would think that they can easily help them by paying this amount everyday. Another example of the use of logos is cause and effect, “By calling today you will save a child’s life” as well as cost and benefit “The benefits of donating $19 a month are worth saving a child” . Cause and effect and cost and benefit make the message clear and practical to the audience. The audience understands what St. Jude’s needs, what they need to do to help, and the benefits of both. By using logos through these examples in the advertisement St. Jude’s is persuading the audiences by once again making them feel confident with the company and also by appealing to their common sense.

The reason for this is that from the advertisement one could sense an appeal to our sense of identity, self-interest and emotions. It added some amount of excitement and humor. A positive image was created from the video about the Papa John’s Pizza and it really made me feel persuaded to buy the pizza.

In 2016, Subaru rolled out an “I’m Sorry” commercials which aims towards the safety and reliability of their vehicles. This paper will cover how recents teen driving statistics might have caused Subaru to roll out this commercial. Subaru’s “I’m Sorry” commercial, shows teens calling their parents after they get in car accidents. The teens phone their fictional parents using a consistent message that they are “sorry.” The parents respond saying it’s okay, your safety is all that matters. Subaru’s clear intent in these commercials is to reach out to worried parents. This paper examines the ethos, logos, and pathos of this commercial. This paper will also explain how teen driving statistics have had an impact on both parents and car companies.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company’s Super Bowl advertisement, “#makesafehappen” released on February 1st, 2015, has received negative attention because of its morbid yet practical depiction of a young boy who has passed away due to a “preventable accident” before experiencing the life in which a teen or young adult would otherwise. The advertisement also uses the death of a young child to appeal to parents; especially the mothers, largely using pathos to raise awareness of deadly accidents which could otherwise be preventable. Logos and ethos, although weak in this advertisement, also raises awareness on preventing avoidable accidents.

Clearly, the purpose of the advertisement is to sell the new Nissan Leaf. The company’s stance reveals a commitment to saving the environment through technology; they seem to be admitting that global warming is real and that the automobile industry is one of the primary culprits.

People who own cars would likely watch this ad because they may want to change insurance companies or to confirm their decision in getting Nationwide. People who may be thinking about changing their insurance may watch this ad and see a company that really value other peoples’ possessions and work with them. This concept can be very persuasive in attracting people who are looking for a new insurance company. Therefore, if a person is looking for an insurance company that has good service and truly cares, then the Nationwide ‘Baby’ ad would be a good start of them choosing a new insurance company. For people who already are Nationwide customers can be assured that they are a part of a caring company

By displaying the innocence of the boy, it might help families who watch the commercial relate to their own children. Secondly, we see the mother in the commercial who appears slightly irritated with her son since he’s been trying all day. This character choice might help other parents relate to a situation where they’ve gotten annoyed when their child gets too involved with pretending to do something. Finally, we see the father at the end of the commercial who wants to assist his son when pretending to be Darth Vader. By showing a father who helps his son believe he was successful with using the force, it demonstrates a loving and caring relationship. This might make fathers who watch the commercial want to go out and buy the car to be that loving and caring dad.

This photograph, taken in 1967 in the heart of the Vietnam War Protests, depicts different ideologies about how problems can be solved. In the picture, which narrowly missed winning the Pulitzer Prize, a teen is seen poking carnations into the barrels of guns held by members of the US National Guard. This moment, captured by photographer Bernie Boston symbolizes the flower power movement. Flower power is a phrase that referred to the hippie notion of “make love not war”, and the idea that love and nonviolence, such as the growing of flowers, was a better way to heal the world than continued focus on capitalism and wars. The photograph can be analyzed through the elements of image as defined by ‘The Little Brown Handbook’ on page 86. There

A very effective piece of propaganda in that it captures the reader’s attention successfully by placing a picture of a child in the focal point of the advertisement. The child plays a vital role in this piece of propaganda in that it represents a loved one, family member and anything cherished. It shows what could be left behind, if a driver chooses to ignore safe driving. Choosing a sorrowful child’s face, further enhanced the emotions of the reader, as the advertisement would not have the same effect if an adult was shown instead. The advertisement also suggests that the driver has been negligent in his/her duty of care toward their family. This also instigates a number of feelings in the viewers mind about their family, and the result to their loved ones.

In conclusion, the commercials by Lexus and Volkswagen both make the viewer consider their product. To do this, they use different methods of advertising. Also, both companies target different audiences. When all is said and done, they have varying degrees of success in doing so. Advertising is a fundamental force in today’s society, and because of this, companies must provide the most effective commercials with presentation of as many logical appeals as possible.

The target audience for this commercial is car owners. If you are too young to own a car, an insurance agency advertising car insurance will not interest you.

This ad has a lot of meaning and can really make people aware of dangerous driving. The woman shown being punched can transfer into a person hitting their head on the steering wheel or being hit by another car.

This ad has used many ways to convince the audience it's a better world with safer

Don’t we all remember that famous advertisement by a tyre company where a couple enjoying a late night ride on their bike are almost rammed into by a car which takes a wrong turn and they are saved just in time because of the superior tyres? Or the one where a careless guy with a baby in a pram is talking over the mobile phone while he crosses the road and is almost run over a biker but for his good brakes and tyres?And to top it all, the one with the pram swears at the biker instead of apologizing and owning up his fault!
