In the commercial “Born the Hard Way” by Budweiser, we are shown the rough beginning of the Anheuser-Busch Budweiser Brewing Company. The first scene is of a man with his head down as the man next to him, half cut off of the screen, says, “You don’t look like you’re from around here.” The first man is set as an outsider by these words, which in turn creates a wider audience for this commercial. The audience is widened by this simple statement to accommodate immigrants and minority ethnic groups of a large society, this is the targeted audience. Next, the first man, the protagonist, has changed the scene to a boat where he is writing in a journal. The journal is very important to the man as he carries it with him throughout his journey …show more content…
After he's thrown from the bunk he's shown getting stitched up by, what is assumed to be, a doctor. The doctor speaks in German asking the protagonist, “Why leave Germany?” This question sets the protagonist as an immigrant who’s leaving his home to achieve his dream, brewing beer. The protagonist’s dream of brewing beer, working hard, and struggling to achieve his dream is a symbol of the American Dream that America was founded on, working hard through struggles to make a business from the ground up. The next scene is on another boat but this time the protagonist is on the top deck with an African American, he closes his journal and gives the African American a nod. The protagonist is showing the man respect that, in this period, is not given to African Americans, this is opening the audience up even more and saying that Anheuser-Busch Budweiser has been there for the minority since it was only a dream of a German immigrant. Next the boat is on fire and a man is yelling “abandon-ship” and the protagonist is viewed jumping into the water and surfacing with his bag. The journal that he’s always had with him is assumed to be in the bag that had been submerged, but the journal survived and is still functional with all of the information
The reader is able to feel empathy for the passengers, and the German U boat Captain. It is really a great experience for the
It turned out that he was wrong and Foster ended up getting beat up and hung by the back on his shirt in a bathroom stall. This is when Billy realized the severity of racial oppression in his own town and the whole world. One day, Billy decides to take the raft him, Foster, and his brothers built onto the water with them, despite the Williams’ not being able to swim.

This sparks the topic of race in his head. Later on in the story the unnamed narrator decides that whatever race people assume him as he will go with, because the topic of race is too much for the unnamed narrator. In the beginning of the story the unnamed narrator said "I know that in writing the following pages I am divulging the great secret of my life, the secret which for some
The Government Employees Insurance Company, commonly called GEICO, and Esurance Insurance Services are two auto insurance companies in the United States. In their commercial, GEICO features a piglet, by the name of Maxwell, attempting to obtain a driver’s license. He then shows a clerk his insurance information on his cell phone and gets his picture taken. The ad closes with a narrator stating how much money could be saved from switching to GEICO from other auto insurance providers. On the other hand, the Esurance commercial features an elderly lady showing her friends pictures on her wall.

The following essay is a rhetorical analysis of the 2018 Budweiser Super Bowl commercial. The advertisement was in response to the recent natural disasters in Florida, Texas, California, and Puerto Rico. These hurricanes and floods can pollute the water and destroy water infrastructures. The commercial shows the Cartersville brewery workers converting their beer cans into water to ship out to cities in need. The brand strategically tries appealing to the majority of the U.S. population who watches the Super Bowl.
For the majority of the advertisement, the audience is with the child’s eye level. The perspective of the child creates a relatable mood and lets the viewers step into the child’s shoes. If smokers step into their child’s shoes and see the pain, then they will want to stop smoking to end the child’s suffering. In the beginning, the advertisement illustrates a mother and a young boy around the age of five, and once the mother leaves him he begins to cry. The audience becomes sorrowful for the innocent young child; associating that child with their own.
This where the message of the commercial is revealed; Budweiser beer brings people together. An adventurous story with a conflict like this can really get a viewer on the edge of his/her seat. This is all with soft music playing in the background (Budweiser Brasil). “Music evokes
The main message from The Man in the Water is every human is different in their own special way, actions speak louder than words. We hear people talking about what they would do in a terrible situation like the one in The Man in the Water, but you can talk but until we see your actions nothing is going to change our minds. In the story The Man in the Water Roger Rosenblatt says “He was seen clinging with five other
When the narrators grandfather was passing away he had a few words for the family, but they only confuse the narrator and he describes them as a curse. The narrator gave an impressive speech at his graduation and was invited to give the same speech at a meeting. When he arrives at the hotel where the meeting was being held, he was told that a boxing match was planned and he will also take part in it. The ballroom of the hotel is filled with white men of the town that are smoking and drinking, this causes the narrator to be suspicious of the whole event. A naked woman is brought in front of the narrator and the other men who will be in the match.
No one would think to do a rhetorical analysis on such a humorous popular super bowl commercial. I discussed the author by giving a breakdown on the company and providing statements of how long they've been around and how they have continuously been one of the most popular laundry detergent brands. When talking about the audience I provided some insight in who the primary audience is and how tide switched up from making generally feminine aimed ads. Finally within the text I broke down the main components of Ethos and Pathos in the paper and how it strengthened the ad. At first it took me awhile to understand what to write the paper on, but while watching the Super Bowl I had the idea to select an advertisement from there.
I believe that a character's journal and his letters are a clever way to show raw emotions that may be hidden by those characters when they're in
The second chapter, entitled “Operational Definitions and Theoretical Framework” offers a short literature review with working definitions of the critical term used in the paper (e.g. masochism, Bildungsroman elements) and relevant short discussion of the theories the paper cashes in on ,namely post-modernism and Marxism. The third chapter titled “Water as Orgone energy” offers a critical reading of the novel concentrating on three major characters Tommy Wilhelm, Dr. Adler and Dr.Tamkin. The fourth chapter, “Water imagery as Reckoning, Reconciliation, and Redemption’’ assuming a Psychoanalytical perspective. The fourth chapter contends water imagery as drowning in materialism of American society. The fifth section, “Conclusion” summarizes the major argument of the paper that the water imagery echoes baptismal rituals rather drowning, it is triumph rather failure of Tommy Wilhelm.
