This ad shows the intimacy of a couple. The ad is showing that men are more attracted to women with a smoother skin type and their product is effective with doing that. Hence, you should buy their product if you want men to be more attracted to you or if you want a more "intimate" type of relationship. This ad uses Ethos and a good evidence for that is the texts included in the picture. The line, "Repairs dryness for 24hr+ smoothness" is trying to convince the audience that their product is effective. The target audience of this ad are young adult or adult women.

McDonald's is known for making happy and cute advertisements and this particular ad shows both. I think the intended audience for this ad is everyone but more specifically those who buys food from fast food restaurants. Ethos: - The ad showed a variety of customers. There were customers from different age groups and I think this shows that anyone, despite their age or gender, will enjoy the food that they'll serve. - They also included the employees of the restaurant. They showed how they all worked together to serve the customers and this can convince the audience to buy from the restaurant because usually, customers would prefer to go to a restaurant with good service. Pathos: - The background music they chose was very upbeat and lively so I think the emotion they're trying to convey with this is happiness. - The whole ad also showed how everyone was smiling and having fun. So I'm guessing that it's trying to say that everyone who goes to McDonald's ar...

from me to you//

October 15, 2016 Dear Editor, I am writing you this letter to tell you my personal opinion with regards to your published article, “Twtr? It's majorly bad! Leading headteacher condemns 'text speak' for eroding schoolchildren's language skills” published last March 24, 2014 by the Daily Mail. While I was reading your article, I couldn’t help myself from shaking my head from time to time. As much as you want to convince the readers about how texting is polluting the English language, I believe that your arguments are not applicable to reality. I’ll be discussing three points in this letter which would contradict to the things you’ve mentioned in your article. Point one. It is stated in your article that teachers are complaining about how the students are doing badly in their essays and tests because they’re using abbreviations and colloquialisms which are commonly used in texting, yes? Don’t you think that this only reflects on how the teachers are not doing a great job ...

Ben Haggerty mostly known as Macklemore is an independent American hip hop artist. He has won many awards including four grammys. (Best rap song, best rap album, best rap performance and best new artist) He has significantly collaborated with producer Ryan Lewis as Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Why choose hip hop as your platform in the music industry? I’ve been into music since I was young. I’ve listened to different artists from different genres but there was a point in my life, I think I was six at that time when I discovered this alternative hip hop group called Digital Underground. Since then I started to become more interested in hip hop and by the age of 15, I started to write my own lyrics. From then on, I started to sing and I started to listen to a lot of East Coast underground hip hop. So yeah, basically I’ve lived my whole life listening to hip hop which is why I decided to choose hip hop despite knowing that I would receive a lot of criticism because I’m white. H...

you just say what you gotta say//

Growing up, I’ve learned how to speak English and Tagalog at the same time. To be honest, it was actually hard for me to distinguish which word is in English and which one is in Tagalog but I sorta got the hang of it a few years after I started attending school. So basically, the English language has been in my system my whole life which is why I can say that I can speak in English pretty well. I’ve experienced a lot of things about how the people around me judge the relationship of the English language with my identity. If you have read my previous blog about the common misconception about Filipinos, then you already know the story I’m about to tell you. But for those who hasn’t read it, here it goes. Friend: Where are you from? Me: Philippines. Friend: Nice. So how many years have you been here in Abu Dhabi? Me: I've only been here for a month. Friend: No way. Me: Yup. I've lived in the Philippines since I was born. Friend: Well, for a person who has lived in...

don't judge//

Hey there, welcome to my 3 rd blog post in Lang and Lit. For this blog post, I will be stating my personal opinion about certain topics which Amy Tan has mentioned in her text, “Mother Tongue”. Throughout the text, Amy has mentioned how her mom struggles speaking in English which is why people often don’t take her seriously or be rude to her. People often judge those whose level of fluency in English low. Some people may base one’s intelligence with how they speak English which I think is amiss. It is often that people make mistakes when they speak English and sometimes, it’s not really a big of a deal to others. But when it comes to foreign English speakers, even a bit of grammatical mistake, some Native English speakers would make iniquitous judgements out of it. I am not saying that all Native English speakers are like that but I have had lots of experiences with how some treat those foreign English speakers rudely. I find it unnecessary for people to poke fun at those who...
