The narrator then points out to us that “life can surprise us,” and that “everyone has an off day.” Our minds immediately respond with the confirmation. We agree that life can surprise us and that at one point or another we will have an off day. The argument stated in between the lines confirms the fact that consumers should not be penalized for accidents that occur in their life. Whether the viewer has been a victim to raised rates already or someone who may be looking for insurance, the commercial offers a logical point that pushes us to act on what we have felt throughout the commercial. Each viewer may respond to the commercial in a different way by looking up what accident forgiveness is, by calling a local Allstate, or by reviewing their own insurance policy over again to see if they will ever become a victim to raised rates. The logical argument behind the commercial doesn’t force viewers to feel that they need to purchase Allstate insurance, but it does make viewers think about what would happen if they were put in that situation. The idea is what pushes viewers from just feeling pity for the actor, or just paying attention to the catchy theme to acting on something that could prevent a situation like this from happening to

The author which was, State Farm insurance, is trying to represent themselves as a true supporter of the American family and the lifestyle that encompasses that image. Logos, or the logic of the commercial, was obvious in the repetitiveness of the word, never. The hidden meaning is the logic that in life there are situations and events that are beyond our control, which we find ourselves thinking will never happen to us.

This commercial start with a sperm entering an egg and then from there the man grows up and goes through man life events and at the very end it says, "You can take on anything of course you can, because you are a man". This all ended with the commercial saying that he made it through all of these events because the man is comfortable with who he is that it is time for comfortable skin and that they should use Dove Men's body wash.

I think it related to Health and Illness because it not only showed the man aging but it
