This commercial commercial is airing during the superbowl meaning that most of the people watching want to feel some sort of excitement and happiness. Another thing I noticed was the wording used to describe what we see. During this commercial they use “friends and ice” as an example meaning with ice everything is

    After reading the rhetorical analysis, Essay about the Coca-Cola commercial, "Anthem" I gave the student a B. In my opinion, the student exhibited her ability to adhere to the guidelines of the assignment. The essay was effective at showcasing a commercial created within the past 3 years, identifying the year aired, reaching her intended target audience (high school students), as well as, ensuring that the commercial was within the acceptable time limitation of 30-60 seconds. For those reasons, I gave the student a full 20 in the criteria for genre/audience. Concerning the criteria for focus, I gave the student 16/20 because I feel that the student was effective in maintaining the main idea of the essay, however, did not maintain the stance of each paragraph.
