    In this year’s Super Bowl, Budweiser ran an advertisement that called “Stand By Me,” which details the process and shipment of water to places in the United States were natural disasters have taken place recently, namely Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, and California. Throughout the 60 second spot, we see the process and the work of the factories employees particularly the manager of the plant, Kevin Fahrenkrog, put into transferring the normal beer distributor into a water distributor. This advertisement breaks a mold set by Budweiser throughout other advertisements they have routinely run in the past, and is even distinctly different than other advertisements they ran during this year’s Super Bowl. In an attempt to pull on the heart strings of the viewer, Budweiser hopes to win people over to their beer due to their charitable deeds of donating water to those impacted by recent natural disasters. To fully be able to understand and analyze the advertisement, I believe it is important to first understand what Budweiser is, what product they sell, and how they usually go about doing so.…

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 article “Miscalculation on Visas Disrupts Lives of Highly Skilled Immigrants” (2015), by Julia Preston, states the State Department and Homeland Security allowed the department to give anticipating immigrants news of them being able to take the next step to obtain a green card. The author provides background information about the situation, along with reasons as to why the incident occurred, and its impact on immigrants. Preston attempts to inform about the episode and provide an explanation to the immigrants involved, through the use of rhetorical appeals. Preston establishes ethos before the article starts, as she is a reporter of a reputable newspaper, which gives her credibility. She starts off her article powerfully by providing context for those who are unaware of the situation; in the beginning of September, the State Department told thousands of highly skilled legal immigrants that they “would be able to advance early to the next step: filing a formal application.”…

    I opted to conduct my rhetorical analysis and evaluation on the Emergency Preparedness poster from the Ad Council. The print ad or poster in question shows a town that a tornado has ripped through, with markers showing where members of a hypothetical family are located. The message of this particular ad piece is quite simple, in the event of a serious emergency; know where your family is. This in itself speaks to a need in all of us to be connected to our loved ones, especially in a time of crisis. It would be my assessment that this particular claim is considered fact, given that it genuinely is very important to have a plan in the event of such emergencies to ensure that you know the location and status of your loved ones.…

There were ads in buildings, busses, taxis, movies, and even in restrooms.…
