These ads have different meanings and they make connections to many things in our life. Pathos, Logos, and Ethos are helpful to writing an excellent paper and each one makes connections back to the ads, although each has its own meanings of what it takes to be categorized as one of them. These three appeals show the established credibility, emotional appeal, and how the ad was logical in reasoning. These three ads relate to Ethos in many ways they persuade the audience that the character is the good person, it establishes credibility and it makes you trust in them. In the “Lost Dog,” the ad showed that the owner really cared about his animals (Neves). When he saw that his dog was missing he went out and looked for him, he went around town and asked people if they had seen his dog and he hung up pictures of his dog (Neves). The Horses are like the dogs’ older brothers, once they heard that he was in trouble they came to the rescue and brought him back home safe and sound (Neves). Animals are a human beings best friend, they always have our backs. In the video “Friends are waiting” the dogs’ owner shows that he cares for him also, because he let him know, “I might be staying at a friend’s tonight, but I’ll be back for a morning walk,” and he comes out playing and walking him (Budweiser).

Ads are all around you wherever you go; it is close to impossible to go a day without seeing one single ad. All ads have one specific purpose, and that purpose is to make viewers intrigued to buy exactly what is being advertised. Advertisers use three strategies to draw viewers to ads, pathos, logos and ethos. These deal with emotions, logic and facts, and credibility. Ads can range anywhere from just words to pictures and if you look hard enough you will be able to locate these appeals within every ad you see.

Advertisements often employ many different methods of persuading a potential consumer. The vast majority of persuasive methods can be classified into three modes. These modes are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos makes an appeal of character or personality. Pathos makes an appeal to the emotions. And logos appeals to reason or logic. This fascinating system of classification, first invented by Aristotle, remains valid even today. Let's explore how this system can be applied to a modern magazine advertisement.
Television advertisements have been a part of pop culture for years, these quick minute long clips gain the popularity of its viewers through humor, shock, or simply good salesmanship.

These appeals together form what Aristotle calls a rhetorical triangle.
Thus, by creating appeals to logos, pathos, and ethos, companies use advertisements as powerful persuasive tools. This can be done through the careful selection of color, imagery, narration, design, and layout, to name a few significant elements.

While these are some of the elements often employed in advertising, we can look deeper and analyze the types of appeals that are utilized to draw attention to certain advertisements. The persuasive methods used can be classified into three modes. These modes are pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos makes an appeal to emotions, logos appeals to logic or reason and ethos makes an appeal of character or credibility. Each appeal can give support to the message that is being promoted.
