Rhetorical Analysis On Cheerleader Daddy

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me” says legendary North Carolina State Coach, Jim Valvano (n.d). Fathers have shaped the framework of many successes in society: Beyoncé, Khloe Kardashian, Justin Timberlake—renowned celebrities who have all given sincere gratitude to those who knew them before the world ever gave them a thought, their fathers (Linshi, 2015). Though all know of the realistic father who works the nine to five with consistency, mows the lawn with precision, and provides for his family with care, the televised father portrays this image in a rather opposite light. While both George Lopez of The George Lopez Show (Borden, Helford, Lopez, etc., 2002) and real-life fathers receive harsh criticism and

In today’s media racial injustice is still occurring today because there’s people who are treated differently bias on their race.In the novel “All American Boys” by Jasyn Reynolds and Brendan Kiely tells how Rashad was accused of stealing a bag of chips at the store called Jerry’s. The police officer beat Rashad just because he was resisting arrest but he wasn’t.The message that I think the author is trying to convey is that it doesn’t matter what you look like you don’t judge people on how they look. The reason why is that Rashad bother name Spoony said that he always gets checked by the police because of how he dresses.This book is an accurate reflection on society today because it shows how society

Rhetorical strategies including pathos, ethos, and logos are stylistic elements often used as a persuasion technique to get an audience to either buy a product or participate in something. Advertisements almost always have at least one of these three components, and Super Bowl commercials specifically are renowned for their entertaining use of these strategies. Of the many Super Bowl commercials, two stood out to me for their in-depth use of all three of these rhetorical strategies. The first commercial combines the extreme measures taken by an overprotective dad and the new Hyundai Genesis. These two seemingly unlike ideas are brought together in a collaboration that effectively use pathos, ethos, and logos to prove the audience of their product. The second advertisement is what I would call a “comeback

The permissive parenting style best exemplifies Rex and Rosemary Walls’ parenting because they rarely discipline their children, they act more like their kids friends than their parents, and they do not believe in their children’s success. Rex and Rosemary didn’t concern themselves when punishing their children for doing bad things. “It was self -defense, I piped. Dad had always said that self- defense was a justifiable reason for shooting someone” (89). Most parents would have punished their children for shooting someone, so parents who wouldn’t are considered permissive parents. The walls parents consider themselves to be their kids’ friend rather than a concerned parent. “’ Good for you, Mom said when she saw me cooking. You’ve got to get right back on the saddle”’ (15)… Friends tend to encourage you to do stupid things but in this situation Jeannette’s mother is the one encouraging her to do something not so bright. Rex and Rosemary do not expect their kids to become any greater than they are. “That’s my girl! Dad said with a hug, then barked orders at us all to speed things up” (17). They show their kids what they believe to be a good life, and they don’t let their children think anything negative about it because that if their

Doritos were first introduced in 1968 by Frito-Lays. From 1968 until now Doritos have used many advertisements to promote their product. Over the years, Doritos has become a successful company and is known for their different flavors chips. During 1995 and 2013, Doritos created two different Super Bowl commercials that are broken down between their target audience, historical context, media choices/composition of advertisement and rhetorical appeals. In these commercials there are three rhetorical appeals being presented: logos, ethos, and pathos.

Most Shocking Second a Day Video it is based on a little girl’s life change. This visual argument shows how in an exact year a Syrian girl’s life completely falls apart because of the war. It shows how the development of an armed conflict negatively impacts the life of a child. In just one minute and thirty-three seconds this advertisement managed to represent the situation that many kids are facing. The rhetorical appeals and the compositional features of the video make the audience feel touched by the experience of the little girl making the argument effective. Nevertheless, it fails to support logos making pathos and ethos the most important appeals of the argument.

Nike is one of the most respected brands out there. "Nike is so widespread across so many apparel and footwear categories, that right now I think their biggest competition is themselves," said by Ralph Parks who is the president of the 450-store Footaction chain. He also added that, "The brand is becoming bigger than life itself." Nike has been around for over 50 years, and according the Nike website, they got their name from the Greek goddess of victory, and it is pronounced "ny'-kee." Nike, like many other companies, uses forms of elements like ethos, pathos and logos to manipulate viewers in there advertisements and commercials. Pathos is used to manipulate the viewers emotionally and uses words of emotion. Ethos, unlike pathos, is a more

Within the advertisement, “The Laundry Timeline” the video says “your” throughout the whole video. This tactic that the Clorox commercial uses is to make the people watching the video to question their identity by making the viewer question whether or not if they’re following the same footsteps as their parents or grandparents. When the advertisement does this, it tries to get into the viewer 's head to catch their

Being concerned about protecting the things you love are the natural instincts of mankind. We live in a world of ultimate control and have all experienced the unannounced spontaneous events that life throws just to prove we are not in control of everything. Alas, we should never feel the fear of not being in control and the inability to protect our loved ones. The “Never” State Farm commercial uses this feeling to convince families to buy their insurance to protect their values in everyday life.

The commercial published by Chevrolet in 2014 is an exceptional advertisement. This commercial advertises the Chevy Silverado truck. However, this commercial does not only influence the audience to purchase a truck but; the advertisement portrays a life lesson that every person should know and practice. The commercial by Chevrolet titled, “A Boy and His Dog,” is extremely effective and persuasive to the audience through emotion, ethics, and logical situations.

Debatably one of the most entertaining and memorable commercials during last year’s Super Bowl was the 30 second Mr. Clean ad: Cleaner of Your Dreams, which aired during the third quarter of the game. The ad features a wife tired of cleaning who gets increasingly more turned on as her fantasy husband, “Mr. Clean”, uses Mr. Clean products to finish the household chores and concludes with a surprise ending of Mr. Clean transforming into her real husband, an average looking man. This ad destroys gender roles, showing that it is good for everyone when men help clean the house. Through the use of visual communication, verbal communication, and the timing of the Cleaner of Your Dreams ad, Mr. Clean effectively asserts that men need to help women clean while representing its intended audience, men watching the Super Bowl, and entertaining its target audience, people who buy cleaning supplies.

The Audi R8 Big Game Commercial, "Commander" talks about an old man who is thinking about his time as an astronaut. He misses it and he just stares at a wall and doesn’t talk to anybody. His son comes with his Audi R8 and he gives the car keys to his dad to drive it. He becomes happy and excited and it makes him relive his time as an astronaut. The commercials purpose was to promote the Audi R8 car. Watching the commercial, the intended audience for an adult man with a son. I say that because the main character’s are an old man and his son. This commercial instills values like the past meaning reliving what you loved and also family. It’s not effective because it doesn’t use the Rhetorical Appeals like Ethos and Logos but, it does include Pathos which makes it somewhat good.

Teen fathers may want to be a part of their child’s life, but do not always follow through and end up leaving their baby’s momma and even their baby. A teenage father knows that he can not juggle school, work, and a child because he is not a superhero with superpowers. In a personal interview Jennifer, a single mother, states why the father of her son did not want to be a part of her life when she says, “He didn’t want to be a part of our lives because he said that having the baby ruined his life, because of my son he couldn’t accomplish what he wanted in life.” This quote demonstrates that the father of her son was and probably still is very selfish. Teenagers can be very selfish at a young age and having a kid will most likely not change the way teenagers are. Having a baby at a young age is not a game and should be taken

It is not that simple to get 40 million viewers on a video in YouTube! Nike Sports Company made an astonishing advertisement that mixed the meanings of rhetoric with a sense of humor to make an advertisement that hooked the audience and filled them with inspiration. The smart use of logos, pathos, and ethos by showing actual people wining prizes, a commentary that motivate the commercial figures, and real professional players from different sports made the short video special and unique. The video demonstrates that it is only a blink of an eye between being born and becoming a champion, and that we can push our limits beyond expectations.

“My Dad is a Liar” is a heart-wrenching commercial that accurately depicts the sacrifices and challenges of being a parent. This seemingly simple-plotted commercial conveys its intended message and appeals to its audience through the utilization of pathos, ethos, and logos.
