In “Snuffed Out”, Instagram argues that smokers can get rid of smoking. First, there is a brown background. It reinforces the message because brown sometimes refers to a death scene. In addition, another detail is the 7 cigarettes that have different sizes. It helps create the message because the smoker knew that smoking cigarettes kills so the smoker started to smoke one cigarette a day at different hours so he can get better and live longer. Finally, the colors of the cigarettes change from white to brown then to black when the cigarette get smaller. This detail shows that the cigarette is getting worse. Instagram is concerned with telling us that people can get rid of smoking and wants the audience that smoke to stop smoking so they can
One anti-smoking poster shows merely a pair of hands holding a revolver. Instead of bullets the hands are using cigarettes to load the weapon. Listed in small print on one side of the poster are numerous conditions that may be related to smoking, such as fatal heart attacks, emphysema, cancer, and gum disease. The phrase “Smoking kills… so why bother starting” is printed in large font at the bottom of the poster. The message of this poster is clear: Don’t Smoke. The poster is trying to portray that smoking is like holding a loaded weapon. Just as someone would be endangering their life with the loaded gun, they would also be endangering their life with the use of cigarettes. The consequences and health issues associated with smoking can be just as deadly as those of the gun. Ultimately, if someone smokes they are putting their life at risk. Therefore, the logical act is to never start smoking.
When the video shows small children holding a cigerette and asking for a lighter to light their cigarette, the author is using pathos to appeal to the audience emotions. Smoking is known to cause many illnesses; so if you were to see a child smoking, it might make you sad, worried or even frustrated. Children are often thought of as pure and inosent and
First let’s talk about the image itself and what it symbolizes. To elaborate, the image has a very dark background which could imply a darkening death that the cigarette leads or a path that should not be traveled on. The feeling most viewers may get from just the background is pain, fearfulness, guilt or failure. Also, the main attraction is, the cigarette. The way it
In the article “Deportation Before Incarceration” by Peter H. Schuck, he proposes an innovative way to help alleviate overcrowding in the United States prison system – the deportation of some immigrants before they enter prison. What makes Schuck’s article effective is his use of the rhetorical device known as organization. By organizing his paper starting with background information of the topic at hand; including several other proposals and examining the faults of each; setting up his point with the laws already established; offering a solution, his proposal, to overcrowding in the prison system; and finally, with a strong conclusion that recaps the entirety of the article, Schuck makes an effective article.

I felt very warm and happy while watching the show. I also felt a little bummed because they do not play reruns of Home Improvement on cable anymore. The warm feeling, I got was from how the show always makes me think about my relationship with my mom and dad growing up. While I was watching this episode, I thought about how this show would come on the hour before my family’s dinner time. My mom and dad knew that it was my ritual to watch this show before dinner. There are many feelings and situations I can relate to and many emotions experienced even if there wasn’t a laugh track. Another interesting feeling, I felt watching Home Improvement for this assignment, is how I see the similarities of Tim Allen’s current show, Last Man Standing.
Looking at the image of her teeth makes you hurl. Her mouth left open. Makes her look like she is breathing onto you. Leaving you with a foul-smelling breath. You feel trapped and want to escape from this image. Burned into your brain of how cigarettes can change your image, who you are. It even reminds you of other advertisements, even people you know and how they changed. It makes you feel depressed and despair for your friends and family who breath these carcinogens in. What cigarettes are doing to their body. All the awful things that may happen to them. You feel fear and discourage to try cigarettes. If you feel this way, the advertisement was
When the WWI erupted in Europe in 1914, President Wilson decided not to take part into the war and declared America’s neutrality. As the nation of immigrants, it would have been difficult to pick sides, especially that a lot of immigrants originated either England or Germany and Austria. This would have created separation between Americans. U.S.’s decided to continue trading as before with both Britain and France and also with their opponent, Germany, which was in America’s best interest (U.S. History, 2016). But, due to the British blockade strategy to German supply from the US, the trade with Germany was impossible. As a result, the US continued to provide war supplies to Britain and France but decreased the trade with Germany, which aggravated Germany, which prompted a German submarine to sink the US ship Lusitania. The United States decided to enter the war after two and a half years of isolationism, as Allies with Britain and France.
The image itself, is trying to get a reaction from those who smoke and those trying to help someone quit. In the picture, you can clearly see a cigarette pack with cigarettes inside dressed as crayons. This is giving the audience an impression that children see cigarettes as something they could use every day. Not only is it bringing it back to children, the child’s writing is specifically saying just like mommy. ASH is tugging at the emotions of those who smoke who are parents as well and see that what they do in front on their child affects their child in the long run. In addition, under the writing there is a simple sentence that states, “Children whose parents or siblings
This type of advertisement is selfless in that it seeks to achieve satisfaction from the possibility of stopping its intended audience from smoking and nothing more. It even asks at the bottom of the picture if the individual needs help. Following up with a smokeline expresses concern for the person. In its design, the layout has a depressing background. This gloomy image is possibly representing what comes along with each deed. A glowing white font captures the viewer’s eyes, but is present to sort of highlight and make it clear that the
“Nice girls don’t smoke” Freud’s psychoanalysis is one of the most well-known and taught theories in Western countries. In the documentary “The century of the self”, Adam Curtis draws on this theory and links influential and relevant persons to it. One of them is Freud’s nephew Edward Bernays, the founding father of public relations (PR). Based on Freud’s theory he developed experiments to influence the masses. A very interesting and striking event in the documentary was that Bernays made cigarettes socially acceptable for women with a single symbolic act.
The first rhetorical appeal, logos, is used in this image. The primary idea is that smoking is bad for your health. In most countries today, this is common knowledge. This is especially true in Northern American culture, as smoking is generally seen as damaging and
One of the ways that photography limits our understanding of the world is through the manipulation of images to trick us. In cigarette advertisements, the picture of the cigarettes is edited with vibrant colors and little details to the point that it starts to persuade the viewer to think that smoking is good. This is how companies manipulate their images to fool us. Others claim that it does not matter because the point that the advertisement is trying to make is that cigarettes are harmful, but this does not go through the viewers heads because
