They let their audience know this by saying, “The More Everything Plan” and “New plans starting at $45 monthly access” “ (Verizon)” . Along with the visual aspects “The More Everything Plan” (Verizon) is the main thing they repeat in order to keep it in the mind of their viewer as the commercial progresses. They use this to attract their audience because today people are concerned with the amount of data they will receive. This reminds the audience with Verizon they will receive more data than people who chose another plan.
The Verizon commercial is aimed at the demographic of young adults ranging from the age of 18-35. This is evident because a majority of the models they use fall within this age bracket.

    I believe that this NationWide car insurance commercial uses all three rhetorical devices when encouraging you to buy their insurance. First there is pathos. Pathos is used to make you feel a kind of parental love towards your car, comparing your vehicle to an actual baby. Their goal is for you to believe that your car deserves just as much health care as your child would. Also incorporate ethos, which is shown in a couple different ways.…

    My friend just purchased the new iPhone 7 and needs to choose a phone carrier. There are two plans to choose from, Verizon and AT&T. I had to figure out which plan would be better, (cheaper), to recommend to my friend. AT&T offered a plan with a $.20 per text charge and a $15 initiation fee, while Verizon offered a plan with a $.10 per text message fee and a $70 initiation fee. I found, by comparing the two plans algebraically, that AT&T would be better if my friend is planning on sending less than 550 texts per month, and Verizon would be better if they are planning on sending more than 550 texts.…

The commercial shows a father with his teenage daughter and son, sitting around a table at McDonalds.
