  In the ad for Progressive Insurance there are appeals to pathos because the commercial is advertising using real people facing real life. The customer need to save money is a true feeling in most Americans. Why not buy from a company that lets YOU choose what you want, and the price you want.




  There are also logos in the way they present their product. They give logical reasons for you to buy their product and it will improve the car insurance area of your life. You need car insurance so they will convince you to buy from their company because they make it cheap and easy for you.



  I see ethos in this ad because of the female sales attendant. Her attitude and spirit towards her ‘customers’ is happy and bubbly. Her bright smile causes viewers to be happy and more people will buy when they’re happy.

Assignment #1. cartoon analysis



  This cartoon is a good example of the national debt we are dealing with now. It’s a huge problem that just seemed to grow unnoticed until it was too big to handle quietly anymore.
   Our government would have preferred to keep the debts our nation had under wraps and not have big news about it. When the size of the debt became public the nation realized how big it really was; and how it will effect everyone.
   Just like a pet dog (not to mention, a very large one), there are expenses that go along with taking care of it, that’s how this debt is also. The government will try to make it better and ‘take care of it’ but the other expenses still apply.

First day

Today is actually my second week of school this year, but the first official day of my AP Lang class.
  I am soo ready to get started and see what this year holds. I'm expecting a very good year, and this class sounds challenging but fun.
  I'm taking AP Pschology too. That class doesn't start until Sept 8. I'm thinking that will be a really neat class to be in and a great subject to learn more about.

I hope everyone else is ready to start school too!
