This commercial is trying to convince us to buy their new and improved blankets. The point of this commercial is for us to buy the snuggie so we will not have to struggle with normal blankets anymore. Their arguments were reasonable because I do think that it would easier if a blanket had holes were your arms went. I think this because it is true when they say that normal blankets can restrict you from doing multiple things. I also think it is reasonable because there would more time to relax instead of struggling to hold your computer so it will not slip out of your hands. I think that this was persuasive because I know how hard it is to hold something and kept it from falling when your hands are getting lost in your blanket. Also because they were saying that it was ultra soft, comes in all different sizes and colors, keeps you very warm from head to toe, how you can still walk around without falling over it, walk around without getting your hands lost in the blanket, and it is machine washable. Also along with the snuggie they would give you an easy open book light. So it is saying that for other companies these two things combined would be around $60, but for this company them combined is only $15.
I personally do not want what they were trying to sell because it is just not my number one priority to find a new and improved blanket. This commercial was demonstrating logos because blankets are unreasonably expensive and this is showing that the snuggie is cheap and a good decision. Another example of logos is when they add in the easy open book light. This is a good example because why would people want to pass up a good deal of two things for the price of one. This has ethos in it because it is using the incredibility of the heater to make the viewer feel guilty which then eventually makes us want to buy the snuggie. Lastly this has pathos in it because in the commercial the actor was getting angry at the blanket and it made us all feel her frustration, then when she bought the snuggie and was able to move her hands without struggle we feel happy for her and we would want that happiness too.
Good job Emily, way to use all of the ways of speech, they all were very true and relate-able to the subject.
ReplyDeleteAltogether I believe your post was well-worded, however I would recommend moving a line like "I personally do not want what they were trying to sell because it is just not my number one priority to find a new and improved blanket," closer to the end, and not directly before your argument for logos. Other than that this was a brilliant post!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that I do not need/want a Snuggie in place of a blanket. It seems like the Snuggie might also become mildly annoying after a while, due to the neck part rubbing against one's neck.
I agree that they are showing the upside to the snuggie and the downside to regular blankets. Where they go right is not selling a blanket for $60, but instead $15 which people will buy because it is reasonable.
ReplyDeleteFrom your post, Emily, the Snuggie seems like a pretty reasonable item to buy. I mean, who wouldn't want to stay comfortable without having the trouble of removing and replacing a blanket? As you said, we may not need these items, but low prices seem to catch everyone's eyes. :)

This commercial is full of logos. I agree with the writer when she says the snuggie is not a number one priority and therefore I do not need to buy it. Personally this commercial bothers me because it is too repetitive and it repeats the same 3 facts in different words. I personally would be more appealed if they were just straight to the point.
