John West Irony Advertisement Analysis

Improved Essays
The John West Salmon “Bear Fight” is a humorous advertisement and appeals to the audience as it includes an unpredictable narrative, a ridiculous fight, and an amusing slogan. The advertisement starts off with a mock style documentary where the bears are catching the freshest salmon. This then queues John West to run to the bear, in which the narrator unexpectedly says “which is something we at John West want.” The unexpected turn with the addition to what the narrator says really grabs the audience’s attention to see what hilarious scene will happen next. After, John West and the bear get into a fist fight, something so ridiculous that you cannot help but laugh at. The fight between the bear and the human is hilarious because of how unrealistic

    It is horrific looking at this wild animal who usually appears strong, frightening, and fearless being destroyed and unable to do much about his life.

    When it comes to advertising, companies want to be original, but also do not want their originality to be copied. On behalf of Coca-Cola, Ira C.Herbert, in his letter to Mr. R. W. Seaver, addresses the issue Coca-Cola has with Grove Press advertising the phrase "It's The Real Thing". Herbert’s purpose is to ask Grove Press to not advertise their book with their slogan because he believes the slogan belongs to Coca-Cola. Seaver, an executive vice president, explains that their use of the slogan was discussed and came to the conclusion that it will help Coca-Cola in the long run. Whereas Herbert’s letter is formal and argues the point that Coca-Cola is the rightful owner of the slogan, Richard Seaver’s response is more persuasive due to his good humor and reasonable justification for the publishing company to use the slogan.…

    Women have been for a long time, and are still today, considered to be inferior to men. Since the first official feminist movement in the 1960s, women’s conditions have gradually gotten much better. However, when the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” was published in 1892, women were most often seen only as their husband’s wife and nothing more. Still, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the author of that same story, decided to do something bold: through her use of irony, through her allusions to prisons when describing the house, and through her use of the yellow wallpaper as a symbol, she is openly criticizing the oppression of women.…
