Cooooooookie Crisp
Cookie crisp cereal has been around for a long time, and for good reason. I couldn't find a more recent ad online, but the marketing for the cereal is very good. they play on the emotional appeals of the young. they use their animations to tell a little part of a story each time to keep the little kids entertained. they are also able a very logical company with their cereal. Little kids like sugary snacks and what better way then to use little cookie shaped morsels. General Mills the maker of this cereal has made many other successful cereals and knows what they are doing when it comes to food production. I have never heard of general mills contaminating anything large scale and their food safety adds much credibility to their cereal that they produce. As i mentioned before their cartoon ads tell a story in each commercial. in the comercials they have a cop and robber, these cartoons teach the distinction of good and evil and teach the kids to be good and you will prevail.

In this picture we see Joe Camel relaxing at a beach smoking a cigarette. The tobacco industry isn't suppose to market to younger kids, but i think that this add is a direct marking add to draw younger kids into smoking. This add will be looked at from that perspective. As an add for younger kids this add is quite effective at keeping their attention and getting them interested in smoking. Kids are drawn to animated images and also as kids get older want to look and act like adults and this camel looks like an older person who's smoking. This add works well with grabbing young children's attention. This add is a some what logical approach to how to get new buyers for their product. It is not a morally right at but a logical way to get new customers for their product. As for any credibility for this add i think that it is lacking because if they are going for adults a cartoon character isn't good advertising and looses them credibility. then if they are going for kids, marketing younger people looses them credibility also because the kids they are marketing are not old enough to smoke and becomes bad practices by camel.

The movie The Patriot released in 2000 is based on the American Revolution. This movie relies heavily on Pathos to draw the viewer in. Some of its stronger moments of Pathos is the general story line because of living in America we have a knowledge of this and its changes that it made. Another strong use of Pathos is Mel Gibson's desire to keep his family safe which most parents would agree with. I talked about this with a history teacher and said the way the things happened in here wasn't very accurate. so i belive the credibility on this movie is lacking, but for the average movie goer historically accuracy isn't that important as long as the story line is able to keep you drawn in. I think that this movie though is very logical in the flow of movie. The actions of the lead and anti-hero make sense and don't seem erratic or ill thought, but as how some in real life may handle the current situations.

Synthesis

The two texts that I will be using is The allegory of the Cave the prequel to the dune series called the Legends of dune which is composed of three books called The Butlerian Jihad, The Machine Crusade, and The Battle of Corrin.

Their are some similarities between the two texts. They both deal with how the people became complacent with how their lives have gone and stopped looking for something new. Both have how people have become enslaved by a some sort of captor, people who see something new and then have to make a choice of following it or letting it pass them by.

Some differences are that the Legends of dune is in future time where their enslavers are machines and not people. The biggest difference in the two stories is that you know for certain that the people are fighting back for change and to reclaim their freedom. In the allegory it seems the people found out that their is more out there, but are not sure about if they are ready and even want the change from what they have known their whole lives.

"Joy is something that brings happiness to a person."-Alex

"Nothing is better then hanging out with your friends while goofing off."-Yours Truly

Magic time- Joy is bringing happiness to you and your friends at any given time while doing anything.

joy

Just going for a ride, racing down the streets, feeling that rush of acceleration then maintaining that break neck pace. Nothing is better then hanging out with your friends while goofing off. Helping in making this video alone was a lot of fun, and an adventure. If the group gets sponsored for stunting then going around to competitions with the gang will be worthwhile

Allegory of the cave

The Allegory of the cave by Plato is a piece of literature that will really get you to think about society and our own personal lives. The above picture shows how the cave looked. The caves main purpose is to instruct their captives on what the world is, but to the captives this information is the real world to them they know no other life so they take the shadows to be what these things are. The captors are suppose to be philosophers of a sort doing like this ongoing experiment on these people. I saw these captors to be like a modern day government telling its people what they should know and what they should believe. Another insight that I had was that these captors were a lot of tlak but very little action they talked about all of these options about what they can do but they never really implemented what they talked about. It seems that most modern day governments do about this same sort of thing talking about various things but very rarely taking action to what they have talked about.

sterotypes

gender streostypes have been around for a very long time now. they keep going on and on like the neigeizer bunny because people keep believing in them, and find them to be true. I think that for the msot part these sterotypes are true. thats not saying that there exactly right just that i think that most of them are how people are and become sterotypes for good reason. take for a example the sterotype then men should be the bread winners. i think this is right because its like ingrianed into my system that i need to be able to support my family. this sterotype isnt a really bad one,but its something that everyone needs to think of. i think that the biggest problem with sterotypes is that everyone takes them at face value. to me that is just plain stupid and ignorant. i think that you need to look at things as a whole then afterwords you can start to analyize it.

Jose Cuervo

This ad is from Jose Cuervo and it is trying to sell its Tequila. Jose Cuervo has been in production sense 1795. Jose Cuervo is the oldest and obviously first tequila producer. This ad is designed for the younger crowd. The Picture shows that young 20 somethings are drinking and having fun. I think that by this they are trying to get younger crowds to like tequila and so then as they get older and drink more they will drink Jose and nothing else.
This ad only really hits on one of the appeals. This ad solely solely reallies Pathos. The picture wants to convey that if you drink you should do it with friends to enhance the time that your having with them. They stay away from Logos and Ethos in this because the person wanting this add isn't very interested in the logic and credibility of this add that much.

Shitty first drafts

My writing process I would have to go with it being more of a sloppy and then formulating a way to make it presentable. My freshman and Sophomore year I was part of the speech team my high school had. I was involved in a few different events but what I excelled at was Impromptu. for those who don't know what that is it is simply a judge gives a completely random prompt and you have 1.5 minutes to write and give a 6.5 minute speech on it. Doing this allowed me to shift through the junk in my head and just quickly find important aspects of the topic and maybe if I have time come up with subplots to it. Then while up there fine polish the ideas in my head and make them seem like I've known the topic for ages. I think that anything blogging which I've done in the past isn't suppose to be perfect I think its a place to vent, but even with that said I'm not going to write that way. In my other blog I use slang and other writing shortcuts that I like. With this blog I'm trying to write properly and with correct grammar. If I could I would speak differently, a more natural vent typing not this school worried about my grade typing.
