Samsung Galaxy Note 7

I was thinking about which commercial I should do for the commercial blog post, and my brain enlightened about Samsung Note 7 which currently has a lot of issues all around the world. The commercial started out saying "We went on a mission to create not just a big phone, but a phone helps you do big things." Next, it described how it is curved both sides, and how that is effective when people hold the phone, it is comfortable and good looking on their hand. The announcer said that the phone has 5.7” dual curved screen, and various color. The announcer introduces ‘S pen’ that is more sensitive and useful. Therefore when you use it, it can translate in your language, it can crop parts of a video, and write a note on top of the screen. The phone is water resistant, also as S pen, too. Finally, the announcer emphasized security of the phone, it can lock and unlock your phone or secure folders with your eyes. The commercial advertised Samsung’s smart watch, wireless headphone, and 360 camera. And it ended the commercial saying, “You need the smartphone that thinks big.”

The commercial was trying to persuade people to think to get the phone which was their final goal. First, those amazing security, recognition of eyes, it looked incredible because other Samsung phones, or I phones, they don’t have eye recognition security. And it could be very useful in some cases such as when your hands are dirty. Second, they were advertising other accessories of the phone, such as 360 cameras, and wireless headphone. Personally, I love music and taking a picture, and it was really hard to just watch it without buying it. It also showed how phone is useful in different, various cases, such as for business, entertainment, and exercising. Therefore, it pointed out good benefits from Galaxy note 7 to persuade the phone is worth it.

The commercial’s arguments was logical, and very persuasive. It advertised Galaxy Note 7’s new feature that other phone doesn’t have, and have combination of good functions, such as eyes recognition, water resistance, and S pen. For advertising good features of the product make people to buy them, because since it is new phone, most vast of the people are interested in new phone, and the product’s functions are amazing. However, the safety was really bad which they didn’t mention it in the advertisement. Past couple months after they introduced Galaxy Note 7, there were a lot of accidents about the phone blowing up. So they failed logic safety. But overall, when I just watched that commercial, I would be persuaded by it, and if I had money, I would buy it.

    I think that in our society we view any new technology as something we have to have. So even though the phones were blowing up and that commercial was still airing, I feel like people would still buy it anyways just to follow the social craze over it.

Open Happiness

While at the movie theaters to see The Maze Runner , I saw a commercial that featured rhetoric. The commercial begins with a young woman named Jess purchasing two Coca Cola drinks in a convenience store. One has her own name on it, and one has the name of her friend Alisha on it. The cashier watches her forlornly as she leaves, hinting that he has a crush on his customer. Jess gives the Coke with Alisha’s name on it to her friend, and together the two friends drink them. Later, Jess, Alisha and two other friends come back into the store to buy more Coke, then leave and have a good time together. Jess keeps coming back to the store with more and more friends, each time purchasing Coca Cola with their names printed on the labels. The cashier smiles and watches, but it is clear that he wishes he was with Jess.  Finally, as the cashier is closing the store for the night, Jess shows up at the door with a Coke that has the name Chris on it. She smiles and hands the drink to the ...

Lift Off: Harvard Graduation Speech

Donovan Livingston graduated from Harvard University in 2016. He was asked to speak at the graduation so he did. Donovan wrote a poem called “Lift Off”. In it he spoke of his life. His ancestors and slavery. He spoke of a new hope. A hope that kids can have to reach for the stars and to be up with them. He spoke of how each and every person has the ability to succeed and to exceed any expectations set for them. In his closing line, Livingston said “They say that the sky's the limit, but it is only the beginning. Lift off.” His speech was one of power and he used many rhetorical devices. Livingston was a Harvard graduate and to establish himself more as a speaker he talked about how he had given a similar type of speech at his high school graduation. He used pathos when talking about his life. About what he was like in school and how his teacher used his energy to make him a great speaker. The logos used was that he was one of the top members in his class and so he knew what he ...

You're Not You When You're Hungry

During a Super Bowl commercial in 2010, Snickers aired their commercial featuring Betty White, a 5-time Emmy nominee. She is portrayed as a football player playing with other middle aged grown men, but she is not herself. They are playing on a mud-covered field so they are all wet and dirty. They start playing and the ball is thrown to her, but she is tackled and thrown into a pile of mud. She gets up and walks back to the huddle all angry, covered in mud, and with a limp. One of the guys criticizes her for her poor performance and she chirps back with a sarcastic response. Then one of her friends brings over a snickers bar and says, “Eat a Snickers.” Immediately after this Betty White turns back into a middle aged man and is able to play football again. Snickers ends the commercial with, “You’re not you when you’re hungry.” In my opinion this commercial uses Ethos. Betty White is a 5 time Emmy nominee and one of the all-time best female actresses. She is a lovable 95 year-old lad...
