Edward Hoagland is an animal lover at heart saying that he has owned “dogs, cats, turtles, snakes, alligators, pigeons, possums, goats” while he was in his home state of Connecticut (Stuttering Foundation). He writes of animals and their conservations often. In fact, it’s his signature as an author. He has many works, 60 years’ worth, of conservation of animals fueled by this relentless desire to write for animals who cannot write for themselves (Stuttering Foundation). Turtles may seem like…
Animal Testing; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Please read my whole essay with the song “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan playing in the background. Each year, more than one hundred million animals are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. There is debate whether animal testing is causing more harm than good. My sources indicate that there is a fine line drawn between human needs and…
Over many years the art of persuasion has been mastered and has given individuals the ability to persuade the common man. Around 2,000 years ago a Greek philosopher discovered three key methods to persuading anyone. These three methods are known as pathos, ethos and logos.

Lastly, logos refers to the logical appeal…
Language and Advertising Advertisements have become an everyday implement in the lives of everyone around the world. Advertisements are around every corner. They’re on television, radio, social media, and billboards; the list never ends. What we don’t often think of is just how much advertisements impact and stimulate our emotions. Advertisements are a part of our lives in many ways that we didn’t even know. Many aspects of advertising are overlooked. Advertisements impact our thoughts…
Advertising is used to persuade spectators into becoming buyers. Logical fallacies are often used in advertising to appeal towards emotions or impression instead of facts. One example of a logical fallacy used in advertising is hasty conclusions. A hasty conclusion is made when a generalization is made before enough specific items have been examined. For example, in 2012, Honey Nut Cheerios launched an ad campaign claiming to be “America’s Favorite Cereal.” America consists of over three hundred…
Rhetorical Analysis When one thinks of a commercial for an animal shelter, they probably picture monochromatic footage of a forlorn dog, wistfully gazing out from their metal confines onto a sea of animals equally as miserable as they are. Maybe a marginally popular vocalist makes a cameo in order to provide a few brief anecdotes about the progress that the animals have made since their days of suffering, and maybe the commercial closes with a montage of more animals as a somber ballad by the…
For example, in the ASPCA commercials, Sarah McLachlan intrigues an expression of good will by saying: “Don’t let another animal suffer. Don’t stand by. Be the help.” Secondly, logical appeals are meant to entice your sense of facts and logic to entrust the author’s claims. Again, in the ASPCA commercials…
