Ethos, pathos, and logos are used in almost every add,
they are used to connect to the viewers and its audience. These three are seen
everyday all around, people do not realize they are being affected by them,
because the makers of these adds know how to manipulate people’s feelings, emotions
and thoughts. In this add all three are being used. The makers of this add have
established ethos by placing the U.S army symbol on the right corner of the add.
Using ethos they have grabbed the audience’s attention and reassured the viewers
of their credibility. This add connects to its audience mostly by pathos. The picture
they have used makes people feel happy, safe, and helps them realize how much
these men and women sacrifice for their families and country. They have also
used quotes to emphasize the importance of people in the army and to make
people think joining the army will help instill a sense of pride in themselves.
Logos is also being used. They have added a website name so that its viewers have
the opportunity to learn more, and backup the information they have been given.
They have added the fact that joining the army can help with college to grab
the attention of those who are willing to do anything to receive an education.
Seeing that this add is directed towards young adults and
parents of the younger generation, this add is effective. It connects to its audience
emotionally; it provides information and creates incentive for people to join
the army. There is no strong like army strong.
Wonderful job, Talar!

Your description was thoughtful, inspiring, and considerate. Once again, this was a magnificent post.

ReplyDeleteI liked the advertisement that you have chosen. You have explained and analyzed the ad really well. Ethos, pathos, and logos were pointed out correctly. I liked how you wrote that this ad is eye catching for young adults and parents. You ended your blog post with such a powerful sentence that completes your whole post. Overall a job well done and I enjoyed reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteAmazing job Talar! Your explanation was well-done and I could not have done better myself. The information you have provided on ethos, pathos and logos was clear and understandable. The ad you picked has an extremely powerful message and you did a perfect job at analyzing it. Also you concluded your blog on a strong note. Your blog was neatly and clearly done.
ReplyDeleteHi Talar. Wow! What I just read was thoughtful and very inspiring. I liked your choice of advertisement and I think your wording was very precise and clear. The ad was eye catching and the way you've written it, made me want to continue reading. Nice job with the explanation and analysis.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work Talar, this was a brilliant description about your chosen advertisement. I enjoyed the part where mentioned that this blog reaches people on an emotional level, making them feel happy, safe, and thankful for having such brave soldiers who would sacrifice everything for their country. Once again, you did a remarkable job.
ReplyDeleteTalar I think you did a wonderful job at capturing the importance of our army. You emphasized all the work they do for us and that made it seem like you were connecting with the reader. I enjoyed how you ended off your blog, by using a slogan that is used in the advertisement. You also gave a creative example by stating that people would join the army to help with their education. Exceptional explanation!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job Talar! I feel as though this ad is very effective, especially in the pathos appeal. Even if one were to just look at this advertisement without reading your [very well-written and detailed] explanation of it, it is still able to reach out to the audience emotionally. I agree that this ad should be directed to mostly young adults as well, because that would be a very ideal age to join the army. This blog post was definitely army strong (;
ReplyDeleteA fine job describing the logic behind the pathos, ethos, and logos used in the advertisement. A fine job as well on the choice of advertisement as it is poignant and shows esteem to the families of individuals who are veterans, are currently serving, or have lost their lives during the act of duty. The points made each contain support and reasoning. Overall a splendid and compelling job.
ReplyDeleteThe image you chose does an excellent job of representing the troops and showing how they are normal people with families just like us. The emotional elements of this advertisement were visible and you did a stupendous job of analyzing and explaining them. You were correct in saying that the advertisement was effective in persuading and informing the audience. Stay strong American warriors.
