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.…

These images are shown with dull colors and a dark vignette around the edges, creating a dull and lifeless feel. This is meant to invoke sadness and sympathy for Joe, as well as create a fear within the viewer that bad things will continue to happen if Romney takes office.…

I have used a very commonly known technique that advertisers love to use; I have played on my audiences emotions. Through the use of the rhetoric device, pathos, I have shown images of children who are noticeably in pain, alone, and sick of living in bad conditions. I included a picture of a small African American girl with tears streaming down her face. She looks like she’s trying to be strong, maybe for her siblings, but she can’t hold her emotions in any longer. Two out of the three pictures I placed on the ad depict white children.…

The writers of the commercial use common rhetorical analysis techniques to portray a general message to the watchers. For example, the writers uses pathos in this commercial to play on the watchers emotion and evoke an underlying sadness.…
This commercial is also, in a way, made in a skit format, leaving room for a lot of improvs to be done. This is smart logically because now the audience can take a different look at the commercial and have more of what real reactions look like and how this mother would really tackle an everyday mishap.

Also, because of it being left to improv and showing the real reactions, we get real emotions and that leads into how pathos is shown and used throughout the…
