smoking ad

In this picture it is an ad that shows the effects about smoking and what it can do to a persons body. This picture is about a man who smoked and from that he got throat cancer and now he has to speak throw a machine because he has a hole in his throat. The author is NYC health and they are there for anyone who needs help on how to quit smoking. The audience is for the public and for anyone who is a smoker. The purpose is to advise people on the effects of smoking and what it can do to your body.
The pathos in this ad is that is shows a lot of sympathy for this man who now has to talk through a machine because there is a hole in this throat. The ad provokes an emotion for people to feel bad for this man and he is there to show everyone just how important being smoke feel really is. The ethos is the persuasive strategy that the author uses to persuade people from not smoking. This man is the face if this advertisment because he is showing that if you smoke there is always a chance that you too could get throat cancer and end up like him. The logos in this ad isnt very big but it still shows the effects of what smoking does and how it damages your body. They make a clear connection between smoking and they effects that it can do. But the main appeal that is used i would have to say it was pathos and they show pathos off alot by the title, " Nothing will ever be the same", so that will get people so see how sad this man is and that people should quit smoking.

First blog: my writing skills

In our first blog assignment we were to read an essay by Anne lamott about her writing methods and how they compare to ours. The way she writes is some what simiar to mine because she just puts all her ideas down on paper even if it doesnt sound good or make sense, it is her first draft so she soesnt care because no one is going to see it. Then she will go back and try to reword it and make it a better and readable paper. So in a way i have a similar writing method as her beacause my writting process is to write down my first draft and try to put all my ideas on paper then go back a fix it to make it a readable and great paper. The way i write would have to be long and tedious beacause im not a very good writer so it takes me a long time to process what i want to write and make it a good paper. In my opion i do not like to write, i have never been good at it and i just dont like it very much. People always say that you are either a math person or english person and i would say i am a math person and not an english person.Im not very good at english and writing papers but i hope to get better. But with this blogging assignments i hope it will affect my writing skills to improve them and make me a better writter.
