Every day twenty eight people’s lives have been taken in the United States due to an impaired friend driving under the influence. That adds up to about 10,220 deaths per year all because someone felt the need to put themselves,and others in the car at risk, just because they could not wait until they were not impaired to drive. The Budweiser marketing team devised a commercial in 2015 called “Someone Waits For You At Home” to try to persuade people to not drive while inebriated. They create a sense of pain and sadness in order to convey the message to not drink and drive amongst those who are at the legal drinking age, and to those under the drinking age so they can influence people early on in their life. They encourage people that they have someone waiting for them at home so it is not worth it to even step into the car drunk. The marketing team of “Someone Waits For You At Home”, emphasizes enthymeme, concise yet passionate diction, and mood to share the message not to drink and drive. The first approach the marketing team takes is they use enthymeme, an implied reference, to appeal to people of drinking age. In this commercial ad they show the dog whining almost painfully at the door waiting for his owner to come home. This implies that it is bad to leave your dog, companion to suffer in sadness for a long length of time. This does not actually need to be stated aloud, as it is the main point of that part they are trying to put out there. The man later comes home saying…

Recently, Dakota took some time from his frenetic schedule to answer a few questions about the extraordinary experiences and opportunities he has had throughout his career…

There are few things I remember. I was painting, felt dizzy, the next thing I remember is talking to the paramedic as I was lying on the floor.

Three weeks later, I remember waking up on a Wednesday with a killer headache. The worst headache I had ever had, but I don’t remember how…
