In Advertisements R Us by Melissa Rubin, she analyzes how advertisements appeal to its audience and how it reflects our society. Rubin describes a specific Coca-Cola ad from the 1950’s that contains a “Sprite Boy”, a large -Cola Coca vending machine, a variety of men, ranging from the working class to members of the army, and the occasional female. She states that this advertisement was very stereotypical of society during that decade and targeted the same demographic: white, working-class males- the same demographic that the Coca-Cola factories employed.
During President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1964 presidential run, he released a political ad called, “The Daisy Ad.” Johnson was the democratic nominee up against Barry Goldwater, a five term Arizona senator and Republican nominee. The election was taking place a few years after the conclusion of the Cold War and the Cuban missile crisis, so the thought of the world ending due to nuclear war was still a pressing thought in the American public’s mind. Goldwater was an advocate for the usage of nuclear and he thought of these warheads as just another tactile weapon. This view though, led to the election being a landslide victory for Johnson.
John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, leaving his Vice President, Lyndon B. Johnson, in charge of a hopeless and disbanded country. Shortly after he was sworn in, Johnson attempted to ease those emotions in his speech, "Let Us Continue." In his speech, "Let Us Continue," Johnson's purpose is to persuade his audience that the country needs to be united again in order to move on and to ease the hopelessness and emotional tension after Kennedy's assassination. Johnson first addresses his audience, and then starts out with the usage of an antithesis, stating that "The greatest leader of our time has been struck down by the foulest deed of our time," creating an empathetic mood in order to soothe the emotional tension within the audience.

Johnson was tasked with uniting a country that seemed on the brink of conflict within itself. There were talks of him sending a bill that would declare the right of voting for all citizens. Lyndon B.

Goldwater was an unfavorable candidate from the start, he was seen to be too much of an extremist and was not popular against the well liked Lyndon B. Johnson. The slogan he came up with for the campaign was widely ridiculed for making it seem like being for Goldwater was something to be ashamed of. The Democrats also made fun of the slogan, coming up with their own “In your guts you know he’s nuts” motto. Overall, the Goldwater campaign was a devastating defeat for the Republicans after Johnson won an astonishing 10:1 in electoral college votes
As a president of America, the credibility of Lyndon Baines Johnson is well-established. He did not have to establish his credibility as everyone already knows it and he is a trustworthy source. But, as his audiences are young adults, so he still try to boost his credibility at the beginning of the speech with the joke about coeducation college student partying to let the students know he has been there too. 2.3.2 Pathos This speech can be said as an emotional roller coaster as the emotional elements have its ups and downs.
In his speech, George Wallace declares, “I shall fulfill my duty toward honesty and economy in our State government so that no man shall have a part of his livelihood cheated and no child shall have a bit of his future stolen away.” This statement is a clear example of demagoguery, a tactic often used by politicians to sway public opinion by appealing to the emotions and prejudices of their audience. Wallace’s words could have significantly influenced certain groups of white people, fully protestant of his audience's religion due to their limited exposure to different histories and cultures. Politicians can sway public opinion by appealing to the concerns and experiences of their audience, especially if those individuals feel unheard of or

Priorities USA used these accusations as a kairotic moment eight days prior to the election to persuade women to vote for Hilary Clinton. The “You Make Me feel” political advertisement uses Aristotelian rhetorical appeals, logos, ethos, pathos and metaphors to persuade the target audience, women, to vote against presidential candidate Donald Trump because he doesn’t respect women.
In “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson, Mr. Hyde is the personification of Dr. Jekyll’s evil desires. While Dr. Jekyll is technically both personas, I think that he is a good person with good intentions. Dr. Jekyll created Mr. Hyde to unleash the suppressed feelings he kept inside; he was now free from social contract, could overindulge in dark urges, and was free from moral consciousness.

No Nips Allowed A breast cannot be seen as nonsexual in today’s society “I think the real obscenity comes from raising our youth to believe that sex is bad and ugly and dirty, and yet it is heroic to go spill guts and blood in the ghastliest manner in the name of humanity but ask yourself this question what is more obscene sex or war?” (Forman). Today, in America it is illegal for a woman to be topless or breastfeed in public. States such as Louisiana a woman showing her breast can be sent to jail for up to three years, or fined a ridiculous amount.
