Chevy Runs Deep Analysis

The second way in which this commercial uses pathos is through its use of families. Family is supposed to be people that you love and care about that want the best for you. They are supposed to be supportive and influence you to do positive things. To many people, family is the most important thing to them. So, when advertisements use them they attack the audience’s emotions. There were multiple families in the advertisement. There were families involved in the accident as well as a family who witnessed the car accident. All of their lives were changed over a text. The families having to go through this causes strong emotion for the audience. According to a study done by Aaker, “In advertising, warmth

(When they hear the words affordable they go crazy. Everybody is cheap and so is this car, but at least it has good quality (I hope).) This ad as an entity appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos. Of course, as you’re are probably aware by now, the appeal to pathos and logos through the use of what people like. Food and money. They make a very convincing argument as to why you should buy their product. They also, as the previous ad, appeal to ethos through the use of actual people in the car, going on a road trip of sorts. It’s like they’re saying, “If you buy this car, you’ll have so much money over that you could go on a road trip.” That is kind of believable now that I think about it. Not. Unless you make a lot of money. Then go for it I guess. The third and final piece (sadly), is Queen Elizabeth’s “Speech to the Troops at Tilbury.” Throughout the entire piece, she manages to appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos. Her position as the Queen already gives her automatic ethos, but she builds upon it, making her position as queen even more apparent by stating the things she does that no one else can do. She then, just like the ads, appeals to pathos through logos by relating herself to the

Most commercials that advertise products often throw them in the viewer’s face. Companies believe that their product is the best and people should buy it because of their many different reasons. Commercials normally share important information about the product; maybe how much it costs, the special features that make it so great, and how someone can get their hands on it. This one is different. The Chevrolet commercial “Maddie” creates positive attitudes and emotional connections to promote its product with a down to earth, heart touching story that audiences can relate to.

When it comes to the topic of commercials, most of us readily agree that commercials are irritating. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the purpose of the commercial. Whereas some are convinced that commercials are meaningless, others maintain that commercials tell a story. Effective commercials are repetitive and illustrate a story. Marketers use rhetoric marketing, the art of persuasive speaking and writing, when persuading an audience to buy a product. Rhetoric marketing is especially effective through the illustration of a story. It is effective because the marketer is able to relate to the consumer with a story or message. Advertisers also use the appeals of logic, credibility, and emotions to intrigue interest in a company. Coca-Cola’s advertisement, “Falling,” depicts the product as a confidence building companion suitable for young love through a series of logical and emotional appeals that visibly promotes the brand’s credibility.

Should people put the value of life into monetary value or should life be kept solely as an emotional quantity? People and societies throughout the ages have been trying to answer the problem of putting the value of life into terms of dollar bills. The ancient Egyptians buried their dead with all of their worldly belongings. They believed a person’s monetary worth on Earth was over, and they should take all of that earthly worth with them to the afterlife. Modern day Americans are different from the Egyptians. Today people believe that the families of the dead should be compensated for “their” loss.

In addition to all the examples of pathos, they express a lot of ethos in the ad. This is mostly shown through Sarah McLachlan. Not only does McLachlan speech throughout the video in a soothing tone but she is also the one singing “Angels” in the background of the video. They don’t directly say it, but you can tell from the context that Sarah McLachlan is a huge advocate for the BC SPCA company. This is most likely because she is seem sitting on the couch petting a rescued dog and you can hear the sadness and pain in her voice. Sarah McLachlan is a famous person and when people see the commercial and recognize her they will want to help and donate just like she is. Sarah McLachlan is probably a role model to many and a lot of people want to follow in the footsteps of their role model. The people who see this commercial they will trust it because of Sarah McLachlan. The positive to this is that more people will want to donate to BC SPCA.

Commercials, such as the 2012 Chevy Silverado Super Bowl commercial, have become part of people’s everyday life, constantly shocking, exciting, and engaging people with the meaning behind them. People see commercials every time they turn on the TV and file the information away for later situations, such as information about a cell phone data plan or a new vehicle just announced available. Each commercial watched promotes some sort of cause, object, or idea that companies want to sell to the common person. Commercials use symbolism, imagination, ethics, logic, and emotion to sell these things using their promoting techniques, one strong example of these things in action being the 2012 Chevy Silverado Super Bowl commercial.

The main purpose of commercials and advertisements is to persuade the viewer to purchase the product that is advertised, but not all commercials are successful in this endeavor. Companies, such as Budweiser and Kleenex, appeal to the viewers’ ethos, logos, and pathos in order to influence them to buy the advertised product(s). In order to appeal to each of the categories, companies use different tactics to catch viewers’ attention. The use of ethos, logos, and pathos can make or break an advertisement based on how it is being used.

Pathos is brilliant in the fact that everybody feels emotion and would be affected by some of these commercials. For example, Lyndon B. Johnson has a commercial which consists of a sweet little girl looking around, leading to the explosion of a bomb. What happens right after is that he says “vote for me”, which creates the underlying tone that this would happen to kids if they don’t vote for him. In the Kennedy jingle, he doesn’t use pathos for an argument as much as he uses it for rhyming. Rhyming is a catch to most and it is easy to get stuck in your thoughts.

This advertisement’s primary appeal is pathos which is used to make a person emotional. When you see the animal shivering and filthy behind the bars it makes people emotional, the music is also dedicated to make a person feel emotional. These commercials make

Monetary value is mainly determined on things that are worth money. People believe that having a lot of money and other items that cost them a lot of money will put them on a more richer scale. They may also believe that items that are worth a lot are more valuable to them and that some other people think that a memory of a special person isn’t worth a lot especially when you lost them. An example of monetary value is in a photo essay named, “Fit for a King: Treasures of Tutankhamun”, this essay is about what King Tutankhamun and what he wanted to be buried with what he thought was valuable to him and what he would need in his afterlife. In the photo essay it says he was buried with objects such as the Cobra Uraeus Diadem which is a crown, Alabaster Funerary Barge and that is a vessel to hold perfume, four golden fans, and a Canopic Chest which was used to hold the internal organs of the

television advertisement companies, main intention is to captivate the audience in other to purchase their product that they are portraying. In this essay, I will be analyzing these two ads, “Whale” (Old Spice) and “Susan Glenn” (Axe). These ads are formulated to get their products noticed, along with sparking the interest of the other goods they may offer. Countless methods are used to convince the audience that’s being targeted to buy the product. Therefore, these ads are similar in its ability to gain the attention of their audiences by appealing to pathos. Through this essay I will analyze the rhetorical effects that help bring these commercials to life.

Pathos is the main rhetorical device used throughout this commercial. Pathos is a quality that evokes emotions. It all begins with the puppy coming out from under the hay and the audience falling in love. Pathos is then used to tug on emotions when the puppy gets lost in the back of the truck. We soon see the emotion of the owner, but also the horse. Then we see the puppy all alone in the rain trying to take shelter. Towards the end, the puppy tries to find a home, but gets himself in trouble with the wolf. We then see the ending, we want, we see the puppy is saved and returns home to end the commercial with the owner enjoying a Budweiser. Throughout this commercial pathos creates a sense of happiness, pride, worry, and then happiness all over

Page also talks about various personal and social influences of affluent society or societies. Page says, “Individual lifestyles are governed and shaped predominantly by family and friends, whereas in other directed societies, lifestyles are additionally influenced by media personalities and the mass public in general” (4). In reality, both can have their pros and cons. If a person socializes with drunks and drug addicts, this person is more prone to being dragged into trouble or heightens the risk of becoming addict too. Gertner explains that the media tells us what will make us happier. The thought process explain by Gertner is the average person says, “I know I'll be happier with a Porsche than a Chevy,” (2) because Porsche says the truth

When analysing all of the advertising around us, sometimes we don’t look at what the true message of a commercial really is. We live in a world that is controlled by mass media and because of this advertisers are trying harder each year to outdo themselves and their competitors. Rhetors use techniques in their advertisements such as fantasies or surrealism to catch the attention of their audience. Companies like Audi pour millions of dollars into their marketing teams to make sure their cars look the best and attract consumers. Commercials that are shown on television today are great examples of rhetorical artifacts because of the many techniques being exercised by the rhetor. Analyzing this through the lens of rhetorical
