Pathos can also be negative which mean it can bring out your fear of something. An example was displayed because men fear being told they’re getting old. Mike being told he playing like Betty White, which is not only old but is a lady. Every man in my mind feared ever been told that by another grown man. Snickers to that fear of a men in consideration and displayed it in this ad. Snicker not only displayed a positive pathos, but a negative pathos as well.
Snicker was very successful with this ad in many different aspects. They grabbed the attention men by the sport that all men love which is football. Also it was aired during the commercial of a super bowl game, which I pretty sure the commercial was discussed all over the states that night

While most of the stuff the satire says probably helps, it won't help as much as the advertisement claims it will.

    Pathos is a powerful tool used to invoke any emotions from joy, anger, jealousy to love that helps the writer connect with the reader. The slogans that I choose were the “Reach out and touch someone” ad for AT&T and the “Think different” ad for Apple. The “Reach out and touch someone” ad for AT&T was the perfect slogan because just about everyone had access to a phone and had someone they wanted to talk to no matter the distance. In the ad a young man moves away from home and calls his mom trying to hide the fact that he was home sick. AT&T successfully connects with anyone who has ever moved, had someone move away or just wanted to be in contact with a loved one.…
