This is a Jeep Super Bowl commercial from 2013 featuring Oprah Winfrey as the narrator. We are in times of undeclared war and we miss our troops and want them to come back and Oprah is basically telling them that they aren’t forgotten. It shows the families of troops being home missing someone and showing the hole the troop has left since their departure. It is a battle the families fight as they miss their soldier while they are out fighting the other half of the battle. When the troops return to their families they fill that hole again and our nation is reunited. The best of our nation is overseas and the best in our nation is Jeep. Oprah Winfrey narrates the story of families waiting for the day they become “Whole Again”. She is used
Once again the line Oprah uses “you’ve been missed, you’ve been needed, you’ve been cried for, prayed for” it shows the emotional side of things. When the line is being said the emotions run deep due to the fact that the images show how hard it is without the other person being around. There is a scene where the mother is laying with her boys in bed because their father is being missed at that moment. When Oprah says “you’ve been needed” there is clip of a daughter being dressed by her father. This impacted me because it should be the mother’s job to dress her daughter but she is somewhere being brave for our country. How often do we see women in the military compared to the men? It seems to be a lot harder when the mother is missing since she isn’t there to nurture like it has been seen in other women. I think the author does a great job of matching the scenes to the words being said and conveys how needed the troops are in their families
She continues with “there will be a seat left open, a light left on” that light that is being left on is a symbol of hope for the return of their soldier and their wellbeing. The commercial progresses but remains dark until the soldier is on his way home the sun shines brighter there is no shadow. The sun symbolizes a sense of relief that they have returned well. It also promotes peace within themselves knowing they are home and reunited with their family. As the Jeep drives off, the sun shines on it to show that the Jeep is the best we’re made of as Americans and Jeeps are
The 2014 Chevy commercial is filled with pathos. This commercial is about a girl and her dog, Maddie. The commercial starts with Maddie and her owner at the vet’s office. As the commercial goes on we see how Maddie ended up with her owner and the life they had together.

The look on the man’s face when he looks up portrays the emotions that the audience is feeling: shock, joy, and relief. Finally the sun comes back out and the man has both his dog and his horse back at home. There are many rhetorical strategies that Budweiser uses in their advertisement. The biggest being pathos. They use pathos in almost every aspect of their commercial. By changing the lighting, music, and overall relatability they are able to change the audience’s emotions. They also use ethos in their commercial by always reminding you of their brand.
This commercial was made by the car company, Prius, that prides itself as being the first eco-friendly car in early 2008. It advertises the toyota prius as a new innovation that helps the earth unlike other cars. It’s geared towards people who drive or will be driving, or basically anyone that cares about their environment. It wasn’t until the early 2000’s when everyone started becoming aware of global warming and the effects of pollution on earth. Therefore, this ad was created to advertise another step in conserving the earth using modern technology. Its goal is to get people to feel sympathy and buy a prius in order to save the earth.
Although the commercial focused on using the teddy bear as a way to comfort kids with parents in the military, it also showed that video chat is also a way to stay connected with families. The teddy bear is a great way to comfort military kids because it allows them to hear their loved ones whenever they are feeling down, it is a way to give them hope. In the commercial, it is seen that when the little girl gets hope when she hears her dads voice. The commercial also shows how our culture uses video chats to see and hear loved ones who are away on military duty. This is an alternative way to keep a family member on duty close, because if gives individuals a chance to see them in a way that makes them feel that they are there. According to the Military Times, “the story highlights the brand’s dedication to reliable product, especially when people depend on them for a meaningful purpose.” This is shown throughout the commercial, because the little girls father relies on the Duracell batteries to give his little girl hope with the teddy

...k most people would want to buy things American made versus overseas goods if they could. This same argument could also support the ethos in this ad. Ethos is what makes the ad creditable. The fact that Ram trucks is the once that is promoting the god made a farmer commercial is pretty creditable. They are owned by Dodge and like I said an American own and made business. People typically think good thoughts when those to brands come to mind. That’s why this commercial uses emotional fallacies and pathos to its adventive.
An emotional burden that the men must carry is the longing for their loved ones. The Vietnam War forced many young men to leave their loved ones and move halfway across the world to fight a ...
My interviewee went through a lot during World War II and sharing her amazing story left me evaluating her words for a long time, rethinking and still not willing to imagine the pain. She was one of the 150,000 American woman served in the Women’s Army Corps during the war years. They were one of the first ones to serve in the ranks of the United States Army. She recalls being teased a lot about being a young woman in a uniform but was very proud of it. Women finally were given the opportunity to make a major contribution to the national affair, especially a world war. It started with a meeting in1941 of Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers and General George Marshall, who was the Army’s Chief of Staff. Rogers asked General to introduce a bill to establish an Army women’s corps, where my interviewee, Elizabeth Plancher, was really hoping to get the benefits after the World War II along with other women. ( Since after World War I women came back from war and were not entitled to protection or any medical benefits. )
Further more, it just goes to show that soldiers not only carry physical things like guns, food or good luck charms. They can carry the emotions that come with war such as: being away from home, being forced into war and not knowing if they will make it back alive. The soldiers also carry the changes of war. They were sent off young and innocent only to come back completely different, just like the case of Mary Anne. War is more then just a battle between waring nations, it's a psychological battle. People back in the states had no clue what the soldiers had to do and what effect it had on them. The Things They Carried is a great insight into what these soldiers experienced and how they dealt with the challenges are the Vietnam war.
The Vietnam War tore some families apart (Olson). Some families were getting divorced. Being gone for so long can be hard on families and soldiers. The War lasted up to at least 15 years with United States involved. Loved ones were gone and not being able to take care of their families and loved ones. The deployment of loved ones was hard to comp with some families (Logan). Children were sad to see their dad have to leave and not knowing if he will come back. During the war many terrifying images were being showed (Friedman). The images made families and loved ones worried and scared if their loved ones had died (Friedman). The families with soldiers that had lived had to deal with their loved ones having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Logan). Not only do the families have emotions during the war so do the soldiers. Soldiers who had lived were feeling guilt over them living and their friends dying (Friedman). Soldiers were wishing it was them that had died and not one of their brothers. Some soldiers had committed suicide years after war had ended because of the guilt they had felt for living. (Fallstrom). The soldiers didn’t only have emotions after war they had some during war. A war veteran had said “every time I pull the trigger, I was killing a little bit inside me. “ (Friedel).Even knows he wasn’t physically killing a little bit of himself, mentally he was.
...ust deal with similar pains. Through the authors of these stories, we gain a better sense of what soldiers go through and the connection war has on the psyche of these men. While it is true, and known, that the Vietnam War was bloody and many soldiers died in vain, it is often forgotten what occurred to those who returned home. We overlook what became of those men and of the pain they, and their families, were left coping with. Some were left with physical scars, a constant reminder of a horrible time in their lives, while some were left with emotional, and mental, scarring. The universal fact found in all soldiers is the dramatic transformation they all undergo. No longer do any of these men have a chance to create their own identity, or continue with the aspirations they once held as young men. They become, and will forever be, soldiers of the Vietnam War.
The father, Claude, was a pastor (Frontline Video, 2013). The mother, Jacki, made efforts to find work (Frontline Video, 2013). She spent most of her time helping her husband run the church (Frontline Video, 2013). She seemed confident and strong (Frontline Video, 2013). She inspired people to live to their full potential and enjoy life (Frontline Video, 2013). However, this was just an act (Frontline Video, 2013). Jackie didn’t want anyone to be worried about her or have a negative outlook based on her experience (Frontline Video, 2013). It upset her deeply when she would have to turn for help from others just to get some food to feed her family (Frontline Video,
...though people believe that, those on the home front have it just as a bad as the soldiers, because they have to deal with the responsibilities of their husbands, there is nothing that can compare to what these men have gone through. The war itself consumed them of their ideology of a happy life, and while some might have entered the war with the hope that they would soon return home, most men came to grips with the fact that they might never make it out alive. The biggest tragedy that follows the war is not the number of deaths and the damages done, it is the broken mindset derives from being at war. These men are all prime examples of the hardships of being out at war and the consequences, ideologies, and lifestyles that develop from it.

When Oprah was left to live with her grandmother on the family farm she never wasted a minute of her childhood, and she was never bored. Her only friends in her early years were the farm animals that lived on the farm. This didn’t worry her any she gave them parts in plays that she would make up, included them in games she would play, and even included them in tea parties. Oprah’s grandmother, Hattie Mae Lee, would take Oprah to church every Sunday with her. This gave Oprah a chance to dress up in her best clothes and go to the Buffalo United
