Analyzing Everyday Rhetoric
Think about a recent advertisement you saw—this could be a commercial on TV, an ad on a website, or even a billboard. Describe the advertisement in detail, noting what caught your attention first. Then, consider the following aspects:
1. Purpose: What is the goal of the advertisement? What does it want you to do or believe?
2. Audience: Who is this advertisement aimed at? How can you tell?
3. Strategies: What techniques does the ad use to persuade its audience? Consider visuals, words, music, and the emotions they evoke.
4. Effectiveness: Do you think the advertisement is effective in reaching its intended audience? Why or why not?
