Rhetorical Analysis Of Dale Peterson's Campaign
In this commercial, Dale Peterson is running for the republican nomination for Alabama’s agriculture commission. His campaign takes place on a ranch with a horse, which persuades the audience to vote for him in the category he is running for. In this particular ad the targeted audience is made up of Republicans and those who may not belong to a political party. Although this isn’t the first nor the last political party campaign that’s been televised, Dale Peterson did a great job getting his point across is less than two minutes. To me this commercial is very successful in persuading its audience to vote for him as a nominee for Alabama’s agriculture commission, because he’s been a farmer, a business man, and a marine during the Vietnam War. Secondly, he is responsible and accountable for the state’s wealth, which is five billion dollars, and furthermore, if the citizens of Alabama don’t vote for him, they may be at risk for losing their farms. …show more content…
He is saying to not only the citizens, but also viewers from other areas that he has been a: farmer, business man, and marine during the Vietnam War, so you should believe him when he says that voting for him as the Republican of Alabama’s agriculture commission, is the best path to follow. Right off the bat the Republican Party along with other’s share an instant connection based on his accomplishments. He’s showing that he is a well-rounded American that can relate with anyone who was any of those things. He knows the struggles of the state and of the nation as a whole and if you vote for him that’ll be the best decision you’ll make due to him having hands on experience in different

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of 84 Lumber's Super Bowl

    At the end of the commercial, the man who built the door in the wall in seen driving away with a truck filled with lumber. As he is driving, words appear on the screen: “The will to succeed is always welcomed here.” This is the only use of text and the only words in English in the commercial. Yet, the words leave the viewer to think and reflect on what the true meaning means. Not that they are supporting illegal immigration or don’t support trump, but the will and determination of a mother to create a better life for her daughter, and their journey together to…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of State Farm

    The commercial follows a man, that slowly amassed a following of those that need help. The way I view the commercial, is the man isn’t being followed by an actual group of people but is being haunted by the thoughts of those in need. The commercial relies heavily on pathos, ethos, and logos; the use of melancholy music sets the tone of the whole commercial. Putting all this together, allows the viewer to realize what a difference one person can make if they see someone in need of help. This commercial was made to show the various issues in the world.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Carlton W. Reeves

    In 2015, Carlton W. Reeves, a U.S Mississippi District Court judge talks about how racist brutalism is in its wake again. Reeves is on the verge of giving his sentence about a murder case where an African American, James Craig Anderson, was murdered by three young men named: Deryl Paul Dedmon, Dylan Wade Butler, and John Aaron Rice. The murder of Anderson is a part of resurgence of black killing that happened before in Mississippi. Reeves extensively used the three rhetorical appeals: ethos, logos, and pathos. The Judge illustrates how the past is being brought back to Mississippi, uses statistics about the torture of the African Americans, and personal stories to argue that the white male murders are just repeating history by bringing back…

    State Farm Advertising Analysis

    Among the many ad campaigns created by the company one of the most memorable is their “magic jingle” campaign. The commercials feature customers in various inconvenient scenarios where an insurance agent may be needed. The customers then proceed to sing the “magic jingle” (like a good neighbor State Farm is there…) and an insurance agent will magically appear to help resolve their issue, along with other ridiculous requests. While the granting of these ridiculous requests make the ads humorous; therefore, memorable, they emphasize what the company feels is their advantage over their competitors: immediate and excellent service.…

    Analysis of ASPCA's Advertisement

    The most propagandistic part of the commercial I think would be the song, Angel by Sarah McLachlan. ASPCA used this song because it seems like it is directed towards you. Additionally the song plays with your emotions causing you to feel sad for these abused animals. Making you want to donate or rescue an animal. In the song she sings “In the arms of the angel, fly away from here.” The lyrics make you think you could be an angel to save the animal from any harmful situations it was once fighting. It also making you think you could comfort a hurt or an abused animal yourself and make that animal happy and healthy again.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Mr. Fox

    We are able to see pathos, logos, and ethos throughout Mr. Fox’s entire testimony. He begins by using pathos, establishing that he is well known and reflects on the first time he admitted that he suffers from Parkinson’s; he states, “When I first spoke publicly about my eight years of experience as a person with Parkinson’s many were surprised, in part because of my age […]” (Page 1 Paragraph 3) and right away he uses ethos to explain why “many were surprised”. We continuously see logos in the first couple of paragraphs. Mr. Fox addresses the “profound and progressive” changes in his life and makes clear why he kept them secret from the public. He felt that he had a task, as a public figure, to “soldier on” (Page 1 Paragraph 4). When he was…

    Kennedy vs. Nixon Ad (1960)

    In Richard Nixon’s political ad, “Peace,” the overall message is about experience and knowing what to do during though times. Nixon's campaign tried to convey this seriousness by shooting its commercials of Nixon perched on a desk and speaking directly to the camera. In JFK’s 1960 “Debate,” political ad, he addresses the people in a snappier way, and by “facing the issues squarely.” However, neither of the candidates' ads was about issues; rather, they were more contrast in styles.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Perot

    During his 1992 presidential campaign speech in front of the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Reform Party candidate Henry Ross Perot brought clarity onto the positions that he and his independent party took on the key issues that faced the average American at the time. He aptly uses anecdotal stories from his childhood along with ethos, logos, and pathos, to give the audience a sense of his credibility to deal with issues facing the many citizens of the African American community. Many experts believe that this combined with his naturally calm and prideful body language, may be what made him one of the most successful candidates presented by an independent party in American history. Midway through the speech Perot made a malaprop and mistakenly refers to the audience as “You People” when his intention was to refer to their people.…

    Political Rhetorical Analysis

    In January 2003, then President George W. Bush signed an executive order that gave religious charities access to federal money. This order circumvented Congress and all their objections to the requests through the previous years of Bush’s presidency. According to President Bush, this would “help clear away a legacy of discrimination against faith based charities” (Wilhem and Williams, para. 7). The order made it legal for the organizations that were receiving federal money to keep their religious beliefs out in the open. Previous laws forbade any charity or organization receiving federal help from displaying crosses or other symbols, having their board members chosen strictly based on their religious beliefs, and even having a religious stance in their mission statements (Wilhem and Williams para. 12). Now, Bush cleared the way for those that wanted to have a charity, be religious, and have access to federal grant money.…

    On September 7, 1964, President L. Johnson's campaign aired a commercial that would guarantee his win at the Presidential Elections. The “Daisy Girl Ad” stands as the first political ad to manipulate viewers emotions. The political ad convinces citizens to vote for Lyndon B. Johnson for president rather than Barry Goldwater.

    Animal Cruelty In Texas

    That commercial comes on when the dog is sad and the sad music starts. Then someone with a soft voice says something like” Help!!” Then they finally send a message saying donate and everybody does because they feel bad for the dog. Have you ever seen many of these commercials for the wildlife in Texas? There aren’t that many. They need these laws the same as dogs and cats. The wildlife in Texas need cruelty laws by: adding wildlife to the ASPCA and under federal laws, petitioning and adding barriers along the road; this will lead to less roadkill, affliction on wildlife and the people who treat them inhumanely will actually be committing a crime.…
