World War I Food Shortage Canadian’s involvement in World War I had an extremely negative influence on the country’s agricultural output. After the draft, the number of laborers involved in the rural economy decreased drastically, causing a consequential drop in harvest production (Imperial War Museum). This affected not only the nation’s food surplus, but the entire army’s source of nutrition which could ultimately affect the chances of being successful during combat. Experiencing this hardship, an organization was created to address the issue - the Canada Food Board (Imperial War Museum).
Rhetoric in Subway’s Advertising Yum. Subway. When I decide that I want a delicious sandwich I buy a subway footlong. If the line isn’t long, or they have more than one person working, I can get my food in less than 10 minutes.
Extra -Gum Advertisement The purpose of this commercial is to encourage the viewer to realize the importance of a stick of Extra gum in their life. The commercial begins with a tender moment between a new father and his young daughter as he chews a piece of Extra gum and makes an origami bird out of the wrapper. The father’s act of giving an origami gum wrapper to his daughter is repeated through different stages of the daughter’s life: at her birthday, at the beach, at the ball game, at the house with a date, and an emotional moment ending with the father’s discovery that she has always kept the origami birds in a special box.

Rhetorical strategies including pathos, ethos, and logos are stylistic elements often used as a persuasion technique to get an audience to either buy a product or participate in something. Advertisements almost always have at least one of these three components, and Super Bowl commercials specifically are renowned for their entertaining use of these strategies. Of the many Super Bowl commercials, two stood out to me for their in-depth use of all three of these rhetorical strategies. The first commercial combines the extreme measures taken by an overprotective dad and the new Hyundai Genesis. These two seemingly unlike ideas are brought together in a collaboration that effectively use pathos, ethos, and logos to prove the audience of their product.
Robin Williams once said, “No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world”. So, why limit those words and give people ownership of them, shouldn’t everyone have free access to words? Ira C. Herbert, from the Coca-Cola Company didn’t thinks so. Herbert, in his letter to Richard Seaver, Executive vice president of Grove press, demanded that Seaver should discontinue the use of the phrase, “It’s the Real Thing” in their advertisement because Coca-Cola has made use of it in their advertising in the past. Seaver replied adopting a very sarcastic and mockery tone.

Most commercials that advertise products often throw them in the viewer’s face. They of course believe their product is the best and that people should buy it because of many of their different reasons. Commercials normally tell important information about the product, maybe how much it costs, and how someone can get their hands on it. This one is different. The Chevrolet commercial “Maddie” very effectively uses the pathos method of appeal through genre, context, and style to promote their product.
In contrast to the ethos of the Chevrolet advertisement, Henry Jenkins masterfully employs logos to deconstruct myths centered around the idea that videogames are dangerous and are connected to youth violence. Jenkins says that there is a large gap, “between the public's perception of video games and what the research actually shows,” and many of those perceptions are based on an emotional response and the facts are meant to counter that. The audience of Jenkins’s endeavor would fall on the neutral side of things because they would be the ones who don’t necessarily have an already formed opinion on the subject and would be most willing to listen and allow themselves to be persuaded by statistics and information backed up by research.
