On the inside of the advertisement. Using terms such as “seductive styling, was true love, head over heels.” This enforces the thought of love and romance with the car very blantly. Another phrase is “long term relationship”. They are not talking about the woman in the picture they are talking about the car. You can argue that the car will never break down deceive you and will not cheat on you. This shows the woman and man are not that important in the advertisement but they are very indexical of getting the theme of romance with the car across.

For many years, companies have utilized advertising as a useful tool to promote their brands, convey a message, or sell their products. In today’s world, advertisements can be seen almost everywhere from enormous billboards along highways to a diminutive ads on a phone. But not all advertisements are successful. To convey a message, advertisements must contain rhetorical devices such as pathos, logos, and ethos. A good example of how rhetorical devices are used to persuade an audience is the Edward Jones “Nine Days” commercial.
Wherever you may go often you will see advertisement. It may come in many different forms such as a poster on a telephone pole telling someone about a yard sell.

They either are very feminine or they are held to high standards for excellence in beauty through their objectification for the purposes of creating an ad. This image is not how all ads in the 1920s treated women. In fact, Einav Rabinovitch-Fox argues in her article “Baby, You Can Drive My Car: Advertising Women’s Freedom in 1920s America” that car companies in the 1920s used women as a symbol for something other than seduction and their heightened femininity. Instead, she maintains that the women featured in the advertisements for cars were actually being depicted because they symbolized the new foothold women had in society with the success of the suffrage movement and the new freedoms they were beginning to enjoy. Rabinovitch-Fox argues that this symbol is the “modern woman” of the early-twentieth century.
Advertisements: Exposed When viewing advertisements, commercials, and marketing techniques in the sense of a rhetorical perspective, rhetorical strategies such as logos, pathos, and ethos heavily influence the way society decides what products they want to purchase. By using these strategies, the advertisement portrayal based on statistics, factual evidence, and emotional involvement give a sense of need and want for that product. Advertisements also make use of social norms to display various expectations among gender roles along with providing differentiation among tasks that are deemed with femininity or masculinity. Therefore, it is of the advertisers and marketing team of that product that initially have the ideas that influence
In this ad, there are words that help us try to interpret the message. The message in this ad is pretty straight forward as you can tell. The quote in the ad says, “Not everyone who gets it by a drunk driver dies”. Not everyone dies, but getting hit by a drunk driver may change your whole life drastically just like it did to Jacqueline Saburido. The author uses so many different type of persuasion to get his point around.
Another example in the ad is the father and son connection. The old man’s son goes to his father who was all lonely by himself. He owned an Audi R8 and he let his father drive it. While driving, his father looks him in the eye and starts
Through the use of still life images and narration, Chrysler appeals to the viewers emotions and ethics. This commercial conveys the message that Dodge Ram trucks are the best and most dependable vehicles within our society through the use of ethos and pathos, due to the fact that farmers are associated with them. The first image that appears on the screen as the commercial begins to commemorate is the name, Paul Harvey.

The ad persuades the reader using logos, that Bentley is a luxury car right off the bat, with the big bold letters. From the text at the bottom of the ad, it is for gentleman, and the car increases quality of life. Statistics, and the style of the text block add to the appearance of the company, having higher quality products associated with it. From the cost and statistics, it can also be implied that from one simple payment, Bentley can make anyone fit into the higher class. This is used to convince the audience that they can actually achieve this higher level in society.
The presence of advertisements in society influence people into buying, supporting, and inclusively stir them to take action towards a certain object or cause. Among many advertisements that exists, the use of logos, ethos, and pathos exists in order to achieve their purpose. In the advertisement that I chose to analyze the use of logos by the creator creates an amazing impact. Facts such as “one out of every three girls will be sexually assaulted” and “1 out of 7 children are abused” obtains the audience’s attention since such facts cause a shock value among majority of the people. With such surprising sentences the designer is seeking for people to take action and this is mostly seen when the last line of the advertisement is “you can’t afford to ignore it.”
This advertisement includes four men and one woman who are all wearing Dolce and Gabbana clothes. Two of the men are shirtless with oiled bodies, showing off their muscular body type, which is considered to be the ideal male body type.

Beauty standards are just as important in the male society as the female society, just that it is more emphasized in the female society.
In this essay I will be discussing how femininity is represented in contemporary advertisements. Evolution of Female Roles in Advertising
