The Rhetorical Analysis of Advertisements Paper

 

Watch a few TV commercials and notice how quickly they establish a rhetorical situation within the ad. (Not, that is, the rhetorical situation of you as audience and the company as rhetor, but the rhetorical situation inside the commercial, where actors or characters play the roles of rhetors and audiences.) Write a two- to three-page analysis that describes three commercials, the rhetorical situations they create, and whether or not you consider them to be persuasive [and why you have that opinion].
