Analysis Of Peta's Advertisement

Decent Essays
In the advertisement "Feeding Kids Meat is Child Abuse"by PETA they try to persuaded the reader using Pathos. Although the ad uses emotion to persuaded the reader, it was ineffectivebecause the intended issue was lost within the title. As stated "Claiming that allowing a child to eat a hamburger is the same as committing child abuse is a serious allegation..." PETA's advertisement is not about child abuse its about going vegan but the their world choice makes it seen as if parents are committing child abuse. So because parents are most likely the ones reading the ad they would misinterpret this ad and over look what the ad real intentions

    I have used a very commonly known technique that advertisers love to use; I have played on my audiences emotions. Through the use of the rhetoric device, pathos, I have shown images of children who are noticeably in pain, alone, and sick of living in bad conditions. I included a picture of a small African American girl with tears streaming down her face. She looks like she’s trying to be strong, maybe for her siblings, but she can’t hold her emotions in any longer. Two out of the three pictures I placed on the ad depict white children.…

    However, the logos did not appear present and therefore was lacking in any type of logical evidence. Therefore, this is the part that was ineffective in the ad, especially if they had someone watching this ad that solely had logos based thinking mindset. While ethos was present in the ad, it was not the main rhetorical appeal used and in return, did not have a huge impact on the audiences' reactions towards the ad like the use of pathos did. Pathos won the audience over for sure by tugging at their audiences' feelings and making them emotional while watching the ad. In conclusion, the strengths' did heavily outweigh the weakness', in the end, this ad definitely accomplished at least one of their two purposes and left the audience with tears in their eyes and chipotle in their…

Every part of an advertisement can have a certain appeal to getting the reader to pay attention. A prime example is the advertisement below where the advertiser used pathos to show that giving a kid a cigar is as much as a common occurrence as eating a piece of meat. Which leads to an increased risk of cancer for kids in an effort to fear parents into being vegan.…

    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 there are facts, such as “Every hour in BC, an animal is violently abused” and “3,000 animals were rescued last year”.…

    Evidence of pathos contained in the advertisement is the main rhetorical strategy used to convince the audience. The commercial then shows heart wrenching visuals of animals living in shelters due to abuse. These images slowly transition across the screen, each time showing a different animal that looks sad and neglected. The images chosen are especially dramatic in order for the audience to see how desperately these deprived animals need their donations. Seeing the animals causes the average viewer to become emotional and sympathetic.…

    The commercial shows the close bond between the farmer and his dog, and when they get separated, not only does the farmer get extremely upset, the audience does as well. Emotions have developed towards the relationship that is portrayed. Many people have a relationship like this, whether it be with an animal or a person and they understand the hurt that the farmer feels (Rhetorical Analysis of a Commercial 2015).
