Best Advertisement Ever. . . .


WALT write a advertising critic using ethos, pathos and logos.

The purpose for this advertisement, is to encourage people to be more like the actor playing the man in the ad. To be more considerate to others. Even though the advertisement has subtitles to support understanding, the meaning is very clear because of the man’s actions.
Six other actors (including a dog, a little girl, and four adults) are also in the advertisement to support the message. Every day the key actor (the man) visits these people. Then the audience begins to see the difference of the man’s generosity and compassion he has on the other actors.
The advertisement shows the audience how the other actors emotion changes through the key actor’s actions. At the beginning of the ad the other actors are needing help and support, also their are people give strange faces to the man because of what he was doing. But at the end we see the little girl in a school uniform, the woman with the trolley giving extra food, the woman in her apartment she hugs the man for the food/bananas he left for her and  the dog becomes his companion.

The people that made the ad has used a link from real life because somewhere is the world where people are begging on the streets children that don’t have the opportunity to get education, people that don’t have food and homeless animals are all things that we can relate real life to. Even though people in New Zealand know this isn’t happening here it is happening somewhere else.

Two of a Kind: Hey Little Ant!!

 
Identify ethos pathos and logos.


The video is about a boy and an ant. The ant is trying to persuade the boy not to squish her. The boy and the ant each give reasons for what they think they should both do. Should the boy squish ant or set her free?


The actor portraying the boy give several reasons on why he should squish the ant. These include:
  • That ants are dirty.
  • They destroy picnics by taking the food.
  • His friends do it to.
  • They’re so small that squishing them will do nothing.
Only one reason is important because we all get angry when ants get to the food before us  during picnics.


The actress portraying the ant gives reasons to why the ant should not be squished. These include:
  • They gather food to feed their whole colony.
  • All the ants except the queen are worker ants.
  • All the worker ants are either looking after the baby ants or finding food.

The ant’s reasons are very important in this argument. They only do the things they do because it is their way of life.

Education is Important!!

WALT use ethos, pathos and logos in a persuasive writing.

Image result for school clipartI truly believe that children from 5 years old to 21 years old should get a full education. Education is very important.
First of all  it can get us do many things and take us to places. You take the knowledge from school to get a job. You use the knowledge at your job to get money. The money you earn from your job can buy  you a house, car, food and you can travel anywhere in the world.
Secondly, what would we do without education? Without proper education there would be no progress, no moving forward in life. We would struggle even in doing simple things like following instructions.  We wouldn't know how to drive and provide for ourselves.
Third of all people without education don't turn out good. They don’t get a job, they can't provide for themselves. They would not know what to do and how to apply basic skills from school to life problems. They just become a burden to the society.
Education is Very important!! Without education we will not be able to accomplish much in life. Do you think Barack Obama, Albert Einstein and important world leaders got to where they are now if they did not have a good education?
