Mcdonalds causes a lot of health issues. From obesity to blood pressure and beyond. As you can see in this article, it is applying to our emotional feelings, which is pathos. Ths article is saying that if you eat mcdonalds food, you will gain a lot of weight and be unable to move your self. As you can see the message that it says in the article " I'm luggin it" attracts our sympathy towards the person. He his stuck in the wheel barrow and can't move on his own. So in a way the article is applying to our emotional feelings, which is pathos. The food that is shown the hamburger, fries and drink, is the cause and the fat man is the result. This article is applying to our emotional feelings, so that we dont get in the same situation.

Advertisment


One must get life insurance in order to protect his or her family in case of an emergency. This advertisement shows a pathos approach because it shows a young child who lost his family due to an attack by ninjas. Although it is a funny advertisement it shows that disaster can happen at any time. In the advertisement the child looks deeply depressed and lost without his family witch catches the emotion of the ad. If someone where to come across this ad they would feel a sense of sympathy. This ad has a humerus element to it by stating the his family was attacked by ninjas. The advertisement grabs the attention of the reader makes it essential for someone to get life insurance.
The advertisement for the Subway diet represents all three forms of persuasion. Although the advertisement represents ethos, pathos and logos we feel that ethos is the most well represented appeal. Ethos in this advertisement is shown by the amount of weight he lost and how he achieved success through the Subway diet. For example, the advertisement states, "Man dropped 245 pounds on 2 subs a day". We also know he was successful because the ad includes a before and after photograph along with a synopsis of his quest while on the Subway diet. Ethos is affective in this advertisement because the company is showing clear cut facts on how he went about the diet.

Final Project, Advertisement using the three appeals

This is an AT&T commerical in which a group of business people are car-pooling and one of the guys gets a picture message faster than everyone else because he has the AT&T network. This commerical uses both ethos and pathos to persuade the viewers. They use ethos by having the gentleman with AT&T receive the message before everyone else, which is persuading the viewer that AT&T is the fastest mobile network and if they want the best service. It also uses pathos because the message the guy receives is funny and he lets out an obnoxious laugh. Laughter and humor both play a positive role in persuading people with the pathos method. Using ethos and pathos are more effective in commercials because the obnoxious laugh gets the viewers attention and keeps them drawn for the rest of the commercial because the viewer wants to see what is going to happen next, and thats when the ethos comes into place. Once the viewer is paying attention, the commercial brings in the ethos effect in that they are the most trustworthy and reliable network, and that is why the viewers should join them.

The Station Agent

Finbar McBride, in the station agent, has a difficult time socializing with people. This is because he only needed one person in his life that would not make fun of his height and see him for who he is as a person. The first time he spoke to Joe Oramas he thought Joe was going to make fun of his height and when Joe started talking to him he didn’t respond with much answer because he doesn’t know Joe that well. This is because he is not use to talking to others. Finbar got hit by a lady in a black car named Olivia Harris; she didn’t see him on the road. Olivia asked him, “Are you okay do you need a ride” all he said was, “No” and kept on going. This shows that even in pain he rather not ask for he because he is use to doing things on his own without being ask if he needs help or not. Finbar and Joe were suppose to go to the bar to hang out and have fun but Joe didn’t show up, the next day Joe went to see finbar. He got mad at Joe and asked Joe to leave, Joe said, “My dad had a problem and I had to take care of him” Finbar didn’t understand this because he thought he had a friend that will be there for him all the time. This shows that he doesn’t care about other people emotion and problems. This information shows that Finbar struggle to make new friends and hard time to communicate with others.

In the movie "The Station Agent" Finbar McBride is the one character who stood out the most to me. Not only did Finbar over come his fears of vehicles but he made friends and did not ignore most of the people that came around. I believe that Finbar changed the most and grew the most as a person.At the beginning of the movie Finbar was a character who blew almost everyone off and had a bad attitude. For example, when he moved into his new house, Joe greeted him but he was short and said "do you sell coffee?", Finbar did not want to have a nice conversation, all he wanted was his coffee so he could leave. He never wanted to speak to people nor did he have a sense of humor. As the movie went on and he met new people Finbar began to get to know others and put more time into conversing with them. You could also tell that the other characters noticed change in him as well. The other characters wanted to get to know him, since they wanted to get to know him they never gave up. They always tried to talk to him and make conversation, as well as hanging out with him. Without the other characters I believe the Finbar would not have had such an incredible change.
