Ethos Logos Pathos
Everyone knows about the gas prices rising, and Esurance uses that to there advantage. Raise you hand if you would pay for gas today if you knew the price was going down tomorrow.
Who would right? We need to use gas every day and we pay so much to buy it. Most people like to save money but only when it’s convinient. Esurance has made saving money easier than ever on a product we buy every week. Thesis Statement: Esurance states that with the Fuelcaster™, the gas price predictor this will no longer be a problem. Ethos- credibility
Observing the element of ethos in this ad is pretty easy. Aside from flashing there logo a couple times in the ad, Esurance, a company well known for changing the way we use smart phones and computers to purchase the necessities of life, like car insurance. They were the first company to make it possible to purchase car insurance yourself without an agent. They are always looking for innovative ways to keep helping their customers skip the middleman.
They are building on their reputation for providing good online applications by now providing the Fuelcaster.

Pathos This Esurance commercial lacked in pathos, or emotion. The ad focused more on ethos and logos. That is one thing I would change about this commercial. But on the other hand the commercial wasn’t aimed towards kids, they aren’t the ones buying car insurance.
But that’s beside the fact that this commercial lacked pathos.

Logos This ad was a good example of logos- persuading an audience with reason. We all know we need gas to carry on our daily lives and Esurance made it simple. Its logic to wait a day to get gas cheaper. It just doesn’t make sense to pay more than you have to. And Esurance used that logic to make a great commercial. Lets not forget to mention they said you could tell the future by using their product.

    Frederick Douglass is trying to persuade his audience by using number of charismatic traits, such as ethos, pathos, and logos. Douglass starts out his essay by expressing what the Fourth of July is to slaves in comparison to the rest of America: "What have I , or those I represent, to do with your national independence"(Douglass 480)? Douglass has credibility because he was a slave(486). He states: "Fellow-citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are, to-day, rendered more intolerable by the jubilee shouts that reach them"(480). If Douglass was never a slave, the quote wouldn't had been as powerful in its deliverance.…

    The article tells us the gas prices are expected to touch a high of $4. It also states that this high price has forced consumers to squeeze non-gas spending and even cut back on gas consumption. . ‘the hike at the pump is beginning to push drivers off the road’. So we have rising prices and declining consumption. This means lower expenditures by consumers that implies lower revenues for gas station owners.…

During this period, we also made the decision to switch back to “Brewster, Maxwell and Wheeler,” BMW for our advertising needs. BMW is one of the most expensive however, it is a high quality performance agency when it comes to advertising and therefore we felt that even though it was more expensive, we were getting more for our money with this company. We’ve used BMW in the past and had better results with them versus other advertising agencies. The makeup of our advertising message consisted of: Primary 40%, Benefit – 40%,…

    As Violet is experiencing poverty, there is a list of barriers that prevent Violet from escaping poverty. Violet does not have a job, therefore she does not receive any income.

    Gasoline pricing is a constant irritate for many of us who are not happy about the high cost of fuel and why it remains high. We can use empirical results that can provide evidence to this very contention of high fuel expense if we research the following: Asplund et al. (2000), Bacon (1991), Borenstien et al. (1997), and Peltzman (2000). These explanations can provide some prime evil example of why the costs are constantly affected in our everyday life. When crude oil is produced it provides the cost per barrel depending on how many barrels it’s producing, therefore if the price is $ 80 dollars per gallon it may in fact cost the consumer the same amount by the cost of fuel per gallon. (Rising Gas Prices)…

    Throughout the entire commercial Ford shows all these different scenarios where children, parents, and even cats are in situations they cannot get out of. By choosing those certain people and animals, it appealed to America’s emotions. As well as to those single parents locked out of their house or the little boy who wrecked his tricycle calling for his moms help. They use children and pets to their advantage, due to the fact that people will always find pets and children adorable and cute. Especially with humor added to it, as well as sympathy because it may seem painful and stressful.…

    When we refer to the ethos of the commercial, which means the arguments referred to the characters, this commercial has a lot of them. The first example is the supermodels that show this product. This is a good rhetoric strategy because supermodels have a perfect body that no matter how cheap or ugly this product is it will look good on them. This is really important because it gives security to the consumer that they are buying a “good” product. Another ethos is the use of expensive cars and explosions. This makes the product look better because we can assume that they spent a lot of money in this commercial and at the same time it entertains the viewer.…

    This public service announcement is a response to the need for change, regarding the distribution of wealth in the U.S. “The latest data shows that roughly 75 percent of the financial wealth in America is held in the hands of the top 10 percent of households. Or to invert this, 25 percent of all US wealth is divided up amongst the bottom 90 percent of the population.” (MyBudget360, 2013). Why should only 10% of Americans deserve 75% of the wealth? America is a country where everyone, whether you’re rich or poor, black or white, protestant or catholic, and democrat or republican there is supposed to be an equal chance to prosper and an equal voice in how this country is run. We are all supposed to be treated equally, yet only an elite, wealthy few are afforded privileges due to their financial status. In my view, the rich are in power and influence the most change, and it’s usually to help them become even richer.…

    In the past decade, employees have seen their premiums nearly double (Cutler). As a consequence many Americans are uninsured and the American health care system is in need of a reform to help the millions of people who cannot afford to pay for a private insurance. As Cutler, a professor of economics at Harvard, said, “Without the health reform, more than 15 million of Americans may lose their coverage over the next decade and go without insurance”. Premiums are just too high and some individuals are not earning enough money to be paying those high amounts in insurance. If those individuals do not have health insurance it is going to cost more to the taxpayers if they get into an accident and need to go to emergency rooms (Conan). On the other hand with higher…

    The era of the 1770’s was one of confusion, rebellion, and liberation. The British had stopped its salutary neglect of the American colonies and now taxed them heavily to make up for their losses in the seven years’ war. During this turmoil, an upstarting journalist in Philadelphia by the name of Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet entitled common sense. His simple purpose for this fairly large document was for his fellow man to set aside his or her prejudices and listen to his arguments; mainly that the time for talking has passed and the only thing left to do is raise arms. Paine wields the argumentative appeals, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos in a strong and yet eloquent way that adds immense power to his disputes with Britain.…
