assignment 1 Ad analysis



The purpose of the assignment 1 ad analysis is to help learn how logos, pathos and ethos can relate to everyday life. It also helps understand those more clearly. It helps us use our critical thinking skills and use them in the media. One thing that could be added to make it more clearer is an example of an ad that could be used and how to show how pathos, logos and ethos are used in it. I am just confused on how to organize and put this paper together. I don't understand how to find an ad and do a 2 page paper on it.

Question:
Define Kairos: doing something at a right time or an appropriate time
An example is if you want to try out for a team sport and you see the sign up sheet , but decide not to sign up then, but later that day you want to do it, but the sign up sheet is full. Now you won't be able to sign up because you missed the opportunity and the right time to make the decision.

2. Questions on pg. 178
There are no questions on pg. 178!

3. Questions on pg. 191
1(a) In most of the pictures the setting in the background is in nature and in different kinds of nature like water and land. Another thing I notice is in most of the pictures, the people are not directly looking at the camera. In the picture of president Obama its a close up of him because he is important and he must be saying something important.
1(b) The picture 9.12 seems to show an argument that he is good at windsurfing and some people might not think that, but there is a picture now. In picture 9.13 the argument seems to be that when you are president people usually think that you are in a uniform the whole time and in an office. This photo proves that is not always like this. Its the same with picture 9.14 too. In picture 9.15 the president seems to be talking about something and it could be an argument that is going on presently.
