                  Coca cola ads through out time have used pathos by using images that appeal to the viewer. ranging from Santa clause to hot babes. this grabs the viewers attention and makes them feel a sense of familiarity and even desire. coke uses logos by using these different icons during the time of year that its necessary, such as Santa during the winter and the babes in swimsuits during the summer. the company is so huge that its name along gives off an aura of ethos.

Cassinelli's Essay

There is a lot that i could learn from Cassinelli's essay. 
he was very good at using background information to help the reader understand the topic of his essay he used good diction to the point that it raises his creditability due to the fact that it gives the reader the perception that he really knows what he is talking about. i am going to try to take all of this as much as possible and apply this to my future essays.

I can see the issue with the dolls giving the impression of what is ideal or not. i do doubt the fact that states "young boys are given the impression that men are supposed to have muscles bulging all over their bodies." and showing an Bat man action figure. i disagree with that statement because bat man is an super hero, super heroes are suppose to have muscles and "superhuman powers" and strength is a good attribute for a superhero to have.
In response to the ruby ad campaign, it is unfortunate that females have this set schema of what they should look like especially from a doll. i agree with them in the fact that its not natural nor is it the symbol of beauty. but, Plus sized models are not the answer and neither is barbies that look like the image i posted below.

why?, you may be asking yourself, well 1/3 of america is obese. in 2010 25-29% of ohio is obese.
if we embrace the fact that the majority of Females and males are overweight then it will get out of control.  is barbie healthy?, no she is not and i do believe barbie should be healthier and be based on a healthy female.

- paragraph

i walk into the lounge trying to ignore all the annoying activities that takes place on a daily basis. i first walk in the  room and observe that there is a lot of empty tables and chairs, the food was overly expensive in their so called neat basket. to top it all off, it was rather aggravating due to the fact that my ears was involuntarily intruded by the ruckus of all the pop cans opening, several of students were looking around and neglecting their task. there is groups of kids sitting in a circle living in their expensive electronic screens, the lounge walls were cramped with the kids attempting to be sociable what so ever with their "Friends" that they probably don't even know, posting wall post after wall post just to clog up someones status feed with their so called important posts.

i was relaxing in the lounge observing the exciting activities that takes place on a daily basis. i first walk in the spacious room and observe that there is a lot of empty tables and chairs, it was rather peaceful all the students grabbing their meal with a picnic style basket. i was even getting a nice tune from all the pop cans opening, several of students were looking around and focusing hard on their task. there is groups of kids sitting peacefully in a circle on their mac books and tablets talking and focusing hard on their electronic screens, the lounge walls were encoded with the kids being very sociable with their friends and family by sitting at the computer writing wall post after wall post, just brightening up their "Friends" day.
