When I first watched this ad during the Superbowl, I found it to be pretty funny and have some humor to it. When the ad is first being introduced, you don't really know what kind of ad it is, or what it is for, which I'm assuming was their purpose at first. By having a well-known famous actor, David Harbour, known for his role as "Chief Hopper" in the popular Netflix series Stranger Things, they already have the audience hooked on what this ad is about. The fact that he points out at the very beginning that this could be just another Superbowl car ad or another typical beer ad has the audience guessing what the ad is really trying to portray. When he announces that this ad is in fact a Tide ad, you wonder how can it be a Tide ad?
This ad uses rhetoric by simply showing throughout the video the clothes that people are wearing. Since this is a Tide ad, the clothes that every person is wearing seems to be clean and spotless. Well, this is their purpose. Even before you knew what this ad was about, they gave hints from the beginning. By adding aspects of all the different types of possible ads into play, it draws more attention as to how this isn't your typical kind of advertisement you would see on TV, therefore Tide isn't like any other laundry detergent you have been using. Also being a Superbowl ad, it already has its benefits of so many people watching it.
As the new semester kicks off, I am excited to start writing and see how much I improve this year. Last semester in College Writing I, I started off as not being the best writer. I never really knew how to start my papers or what to write about. As time progressed however, I slowly started to become a better writer and discovered the importance of revising, which I rarely did in the past. This year, I hope to improve even more with my writing skills and become the best writer that I can be. The papers we wrote last semester were pretty tough, but it helped me a lot in the long run. I hope that this semester will be the same!
Ever since I was young, I have always loved traveling. My family goes on annual summer vacations and it is my favorite time of the season. Getting to travel to different places and explore new areas is my favorite thing in the world. We try to go to different places every year and see different things every year. My mom and aunt have always traveled when they were young as well, so I basically grew up with a traveling group of people, so it kind of passed onto me. Since my family is from Thailand, we traveled there when I was about five years old. Another place we went to that was one of my favorites was when we took a cruise to Mexico. I started traveling with my family since I was young so I have loved doing it ever since. I one day plan to travel all over the world, exploring every new place possible. My dream location would be to the Bahamas or Hawaii. I would also love to go to Paris one day. That has always been a dream spot for me when I was younger. I hope that in the f...
Reflection In high school, I wasn’t a very strong writer. I never really knew how to write a paper and didn’t know how to format it. I took AP classes and I never really got good grades on my papers and never really revised them either. I would write a first draft and have that be my final draft. That was probably not the smartest thing to do. If there’s one thing I learned from this class, it is to revise, revise, revise. “Write early, revise often” is what Dr. Kyburz always said. When I first entered the classroom of my College Writing I course, I was determined to become a better writer. I would learn how to edit my drafts, get them checked over, and learn how to format. For me, the documentary summary project was my favorite to write about. It was very interesting to pick a documentary to watch and learn about. The documentary I chose was The Hunting Ground. This opened my eyes to a whole new concept that I never knew was a major issue. This paper was pretty difficult for...
