Captain Planet Rhetorical Analysis

Captain Planet Living in Hawaii is supposed to be paradise, but is all ruined when seeing the inconsideration some people have for our land and ocean. Every morning on my way to the bus stop I pass the canal. Inside, there is all sorts of items such as: shopping carts, car tires, soda cans, etc. It is amazing that there are some places like Ondazul, Brazil and Toronto, Canada that have allowed us to open our eyes and dig into our minds to show us what wrongs we have done to our home. The way they allowed us to do so is by creating ads that show us what is happening and preventing us from doing the same. The rhetorical analysis is ethos, pathos and logos, however it focuses more on ethos and pathos and littering. In the Ondazul, Brazil ad it obviously focuses on the littering in the ocean. Ondazul is a place that is known for fishing, however experiencing difficulties with the waste that is found in the water resulting in catching trash rather than catching fish. In the ad, it demonstrates ethos by showing credibility to Ondazul, which is located at the end of the ‘Z’ (bottom right corner). It also demonstrates pathos by showing a sardine can with a plastic bottle

I thought it was most effective because I was able to relate it to the place I live and something that interest me a lot. It was also eye pleasing and caught my attention. However looking it up I’ve seen some comments about how the spelling wasn’t correct, but they do speak a different language so someone could argue that. Then analyzing the way it shows emotions is what stuck to me the most because it really makes me double take on the times I have been out to the beach and I left trash out. Then I think about the fish and how they must feel disgusted living in an area where people do not care about them, and that for sure if they could do anything to us they would litter on out land
