Great advertisement Julia! I totally agree that the purpose of this bicycle ad is to make the audience feel sympathy for the cyclist and share the road with them. The target audience from the bicycle ad is towards people who drive cars and are unaware of the cyclists on the road.
This ad uses pathos to make the viewer feel sympathy for the cyclists and for the drivers to feel more responsible. It definitely makes the viewers feel sadness because these kinds of accidents happen. From looking at the woman’s eyes, you can tell that she feels scared and sad from the accident. This appeals to the audience because it makes the audience empathize with her pain and want to help her. This ad successfully uses logos to appeal to its audience because
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
The final and the strongest appeal in the advertisement is pathos, the appeal to emotions. Throughout the ad sick children are being shown and getting treated by a doctor or nurse. Showing the family and children laying down on beds who are being diagnosed for cancer. By showing these images the audience feels a sense of loss, fear, pain and grief, even though they do not personally know the children. Also, by not helping these children the audience might feel
Although this advertisement is effective, it is a bit extreme. For me, looking at the shocking physical change of Jacqueline after the accident was depressing, but I was able

This ad has a lot of meaning and can really make people aware of dangerous driving.

This ad has used many ways to convince the audience it's a better world with safer
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.
The woman in the commercial reminisces of her father when she was younger which appeals to the audience’s sense of empathy. When she was young, her father taught her to ride a bike. The audience at one point likely learned how to do something from their guardian whether that was riding a bike or tying their shoes. Just like in the commercial, learning these qualities
In accounts of true crime seen today, rhetoric is often used to impact readers and how they receive the information presented in the article or given argument. The use of rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos ensures that the information appeals to not only one area of communication, and effectively gets across to the intended audience.

Travis Waldron’s article titled “Native American Group: Fight Against ‘Redskins’ About More Than Just The Name” explains to the readers how the term “Redskin” effects Native Americans across the nation. The style of anything written largely determines how your readers will interpret what you said. Waldron effectively uses both diction and tone as well as ethos, pathos, and logos to enhance his content. The article does an incredible job of convincing its readers to think the way Waldron wants the readers to think.
Normally an author uses pathos to gain sympathy from readers by using emotions. The first example of pathos is when she made the statement “ If you are black and male and you do not play sports — well, good luck gaining admission to schools like UNC (Jackson).” In my opinion, this is a strong statement that is hard to read and makes me feel discouraged. The reason she said this was to show her point that they are extremely picky about who plays on these high revenue teams. These schools are only looking for the students who will bring in money for the school and that is why the author is trying to show that they get treated with priority. Another example of pathos is when she said “ Unlike college athletes who bring in revenue, non-revenue
As I began to read this article I noticed that logos was definitely used as one of the rhetorical appeals. The author attempts to persuade his audience by making a claim and providing some type of proof after each claim. For example, “Papa John’s says it has been pulling advertising associated with the NFL. The league, it says, has given some feature spots in return.” This quote was provided after the author mentions how, “Papa John’s is no longer going to advertise with the NFL.” The first example of how he makes a logical appeal. At the end of the article he also mentioned race, stating that “Most whites are not racist,” and how “To accuse so many of it is to see those fans simply walk away from the game.” That is a pathos appeal or in other
In this image (figure 2) pathos is the main element that have been used in order to make the image more effective and successful. The emphasis of pathos in this image is in the color and the situation that every side has. The image shows a representation of unhealthy and healthy, contaminated and purity, ultimately life and death. When the audiences see the right side with all this healthy, purity and bright environment they will feel good and exultant because the colors make the psychological comfort. While when they see the other side with the unhealthy, contaminated trees with out leaves it makes them feel bad and scared from losing the environment.

People who make advertisements for companies work really hard to make a unique advertisement that is different than other companies, that are selling related products. It could take months to make an ad to satisfy the companies expectation for what they expect in their advertisement and hoping that they can convince the readers the buy the product, they focus on the small details to make an ad unique compared to other advertisement. People are blasted with myriad amount of advertisements, but what captures their attention is something they could relate to, something that is pointed to them and something that isn’t common to what they see in everyday ads. Advertisers want to capture the attention their audiences by the simplicity, color scheme and using rhetorical methods such as pathos, ethos and logos. The “Don’t Drink and Drive” ad talks about crucial issue that could take someone’s life away, and was published by BMW and has all three rhetorical methods to make a miraculous advertisement.
