Face The Nation: Advertisement Analysis

181 Words1 Page

I watched a television commercial from http://www.iwilllisten.org, advertiser National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) they broadcast during CBS series called Face the Nation. The commercial with Mike Thompson talking about his brother killing himself. This commercial talked about his brother talking about off the wall things that made no sense. Then he got a call that his brother killed himself. Then advertiser National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) displays a text scene saying “1 in 4 Americans are impacted by mental illness.” Mike states that he should have listened to his brother more and maybe he would still be alive. The television commercial never states what particular mental illness that impacted his brother or what other symptoms

    James, who had “no befits or insurance or any idea where he might find a doctor” (51). Gary Busch, who was tragically shot after appearing “to be experiencing a psychiatric crisis” (52). This helps to put a name and a person to the “over one million people suffer(ing) from mental illness” (53) in New York City. This number was staggering to me, as well as the fact that “close to 8,000 mentally ill people” are in NY prisons or jails. It was sad to read as well “that, nationwide, state spending on treatment for the seriously mentally ill is one-third less than it was in the 1950s” (55).

When viewers watch the last scene before an advert break, that last scene can activate a certain schema, which can then influence how people perceive the next advert.

  • Chick-Fil-A Ad Analysis

    176 Words  | 1 Pages

    This ad is based off the idea of phonology in which they are playing around with the spelling in order to make their point of eating more chicken. They incorrectly spelled chicken as “chikin” and we’ll as “weel.” This is clever and humorous because most native English speakers/readers can still comprehend what the cows are attempting to explain. However, if an ELL were to come across this billboard, they would be very confused with everything displayed, especially if they are not familiar with Chick-Fil-A and how cows are encouraging more people to eat chicken, so that they will not be eaten. The cows spelled out “chicken” as “chick –c”, and “in” rather than “en.”
