America’s automobile corporations aim to satisfy the luxury, desire, and needs of the American consumers. They can accomplish this by demonstrating American traits resembling those of the typical American spirit or with relations to the concept of the frontier. In order to do this, an advertisement published by The Courtesy Way Auto dealership in Phoenix Arizona, showcased a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ. The advertisement illustrates a trail surrounded by green pine trees, bushes, rocks, grasses that convey the wilderness in the image. In the distance there is a humbled rustic cabin lying at the peak of hill. Centered between two large rocks, stands the red and chrome pick-up truck. Right above the product is the words “2014 Chevrolet Silverado”, …show more content…
The exhibits of the cabin and the wilderness indicates the desire of the settlers building homes out of pure wilderness, using their imagination beyond the stars to achieve and continue to strive and progress. The fresh crisp air invading the Americans to feel free to do the impossible, to dream and believe that the sky is the limit. The Chevy Silverado ad is a representation of what the American spirit is all about and how it has been a huge part in our history. Also, the captivating scenario of the open, empty land background manifests a different timeframe with no technology. The display of the red pickup truck in front persuades the audience to swallow and give into the Silverado, indulging them to believe in the capacity of doing more such as traveling, being able to relocate and explore. It also embarks it by having smarter components which makes it easy to navigate the land, and is strong to hold the impossible. The security blanket that twisted over the audience is into making them feel secured because somehow the trucks components can be related to the logic, and sympathy of a mankind. The components that were assembled into the ad were not vividly specific, but they were definitely tied into American values, which is a representation of the American spirit. The Chevrolet Silverado embodies the mindset of exploring new frontiers with great optimist and …show more content…
The ad indeed ad more meaning to the spirit of the frontier and the exploration process to please the country and to persuade the costumer. The motives behind the When we think of the American spirit we contemplate on what society has taught us. It’s often confused with only celebrating only on holidays, but we are mistaken. The Chevy Silverado ad has had a vivid display of what American spirit can be defined as. It has showed that America is smart, strong and more capable. The American spirit is a melting pot, with beautiful different cultures and backgrounds. Different desires and values, beliefs, the privileges the nation grants to the people to have are beyond the greatest gift of all.

The United States require every driver to have car insurance in order to drive legally in the United States. The problem, however, is choosing the right one. Two of the major companies today are Allstate and State Farm. In the Allstate commercial, a man portrays “Mayhem” to show drivers the risks they experience while driving on the road. The man says he is modeling a blind spot, explaining that drivers may not see what hides in them, resulting in an accident. In the State Farm commercial, two situations are on display, one of which a teenage girl getting her first car, and the other a grown man getting his car broken into, demonstrating that State Farm is there for everyone. To endorse their product effectively, both of these brands apply pathos, ethos, and logos to their commercials.
In Geowey’s essay “Careful, You May Run Out of Planet,” he suggests that to the American consumers an SUV is fundamental to our values. In order to persuade and display his stance and purpose of the topic he uses rhetorics as an appeal to readers. His Logos approach was extremely powerful, often relating the sales and marketing of SUVs to historical American events. A specific example of this would be the Jeep Cherokee mentioned, not only did this appeal to readers who are already aware of the Cherokee indians but he went on to briefly summarize their relation to our history for those who were unaware. This ties in with his Ethos approach, as well.
This commercial presents a simple story, unlike a more common vehicle commercial that typically endorses the product by delivering facts and information. Chevrolet, nor anything about their vehicle, is verbally mentioned at all in this commercial. The idea of this commercial is obviously to advertise Chevrolet’s product, an Equinox in this case. However, the purpose is deeper than just to show off and market their vehicle. The clear purpose is to touch hearts through its warm story of a golden retriever named Maddie who has
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 fact that every American watching the commercial relies on farmers gives the audience a logical way to relate to the importance of farmers. Just like our country relies on farmers for food, clothing, and other products, the common farmer relies on Dodge Ram trucks to help them carry out their day to day tasks. The most important task of a farmer being to provide for the people in their families and well beyond. In order to captivate the audience and show this, the commercial provides pictures of farmers using a Dodge truck to help them carry out their daily farm work. In addition to pictures, Dodge shows the reliability and utility of Dodge Ram trucks through describing their strong, yet gentle quality. This
The United States of America has seen great change throughout its history. While a considerable amount of time has matured the nation, the core spirit of the American people remains unaffected. In spite of all the wars fought and problems that arose, the
In society today, consumerism is a major component in the lives of not only Americans, but around the world. People are constantly looking for the next best thing to replace the things they already have. The purpose of this essay is to break down consumerism by using rhetorical analysis on the commercial for Kia’s new crosstrek, the Niro. This commercial relies heavily on the appeal to humor by having unrealistic, comedic actions. Along with humor, it establishes credibility by having a well-known comedic actress, Melissa McCarthy, as the star. The advertisement also plays on a person’s wanting to be a hero by having the commercial title be “Hero’s Journey.”
As the commercial began, it featured a common image and setting that portrays the lack of development and modernization in the South. For example, the broken old white truck and the lack of roads show the remoteness of the southern region. Furthermore, the bare forest signified that lack of development that can be seen in many urban areas. They were surrounded by torn tents and clothes hanging off a tree branch. This further
In his essay, Car Advertising- Dominating Nature, Alan Foljambe points out that advertisers use nature as a submissive prop and background to showcase the cars, trucks, and SUVs that they are trying to sell. In order to sell these vehicles, the advertisers will “juxtapose the vehicles with enormous and apparently timeless landscapes (247, Foljambe).” This is advertising both the car and the landscape in my opinion and should count as false advertisement because, as both Julia Corbett and Laurence Shames both point out, that landscape does come to an end and those automobiles aren’t helping it get any bigger. Julia Corbett is the writer of the essay A Faint green Sell: Advertising and the Natural World.
The Cigarette and Altima advertisements share the similarity of integrating the red, white, and blue colors amongst not only the background of the ad but amidst the products themselves. These colors help establish the patriotic feel, ultimately leading consumers to not purchase the product because of the product itself but because the desire to feel more Americanized. Moreover, each ad contains a symbol of the American dream amongst the advertisement. For the cigarette ad this symbol is the Statue of Liberty while for the Altima advertisement this symbol can be found in the advertiser’s choice to promote this car on the 4th of July weekend. These two symbols connect in that they both symbolize freedom amongst people of the United States. Associating their products with this idea of freedom immensely appeals to the consumers even if the product itself is incapable of directly providing it to the consumer. Focusing solely on attaining income, the advertisers fail to acknowledge that by using the American dream to sell their products they are sculpting the American dream into an idea more closely related to
<br>Ford appears to have made a successful effort in reaching its target audience in this advertisement. Not only did they appeal to at least three of the basic needs men tend to express, but it also opened the door for future advertisements to further explain other benefits of owning such a truck

Although there are many references to the American struggles throughout time, the whole purpose of this commercial is to present the struggles of the car industry. Even though it is not mentioned, the main focus is the economy recession of 2008 and the hard times the car industry faced. From beginning to end, this was an incredibly well structured advertisement; the two-minute long commercial uses colors, iconography of Clint Eastwood, and the symbol of the American flag to represent America along with the values and daily life of most Americans. Clint Eastwood is an American icon, he serves as the ethics in this commercial. Most
