¿Cuál es hasta la clase? ¿Cómo estás? There is soooo much rhetoric in my life! Like every single day is a new day of rhetorical… things? Any way look at this image! Ewww right? This is an ad for WorkSafe.

This bro was scared to ask because he was new and as a result, this boi got his arm jacked up yo! The imagery is powerful. You don’t want to lose a hand just because you were too afraid to speak up. It lets the audience know that something as simple as asking a question stands in the way between you and a serious injury. Powerful, powerful rhetoric in this advertisement. I wonder if people have to lend a helping hand when he works…. Too soon? But whatever, he seems fine, just know that it does not hurt to speak up and that goes for all aspects of life! Whoa brah. That was really deep.

                

Seriously? Blow smoke in her face and she will follow you anywhere… This is terrible rhetoric yet rhetoric all the same. This company is claiming that Tipalet cigarettes are the equivalent of Sex Panther. No not by a long shot because Sex Panther works 60% of the time, all the time and you just cannot beat those percentages. It has a pretty girl looking deep into his eyes with desire while smoke covers her mouth. She does not just want to taste the smoke; she wants to taste the lips from where the smoke is inhaled. But seriously, go out, try this and tell me your results because I have never heard of a woman talk about how the fell in love with a man because of the way he blew cherry flavored smoke up her nostrils. I have only eight more words to write.

OMG WHAT IS GOOD IS DUDES AND DUDETTES. That is enough caps lock for today. So my Martin Luther King Day was good. Just thought y'all might want to know that. So now that I am actively looking for rhetoric, I find that I’m consistently using rhetoric all the time. I’m seeing it on tv and movies and in songs as well!

                So I saw this picture and the rhetoric was just spilling out of the gosh darn thing. The ad says to get unhooked from smoking and shows a picture of a woman with a fish hook in her mouth. It’s showing that she is hooked like a fish and can’t get away. It is very eye opening that basically when we are addicted to something bad. We can be compared to fish on a hook, slowly coming to our demise. I do not know about you, but that makes me not want to smoke ever ever ever never ever! Also it has to do with my grandparents smoking and realizing that they are hooked and cannot get off the hook. Maybe I should show them this ad. Maybe the rhetoric will open their eyes like it did mine.

                Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. This picture has the grossest rhetoric I have ever seen. It is an ad telling you to wash your hands and shows a mother with roaches on her hand about to touch her baby, and a woman with maggots giving medicine to a patient. They are relating germs to bugs if you do not wash your hands. This makes me want to live in a sterile operating room and never touch anything. I will definitely start washing my hands all the time now…. Alright maybe not all the time but still.

I love lamp. FRA-GEEL-LEH.

Okay what is good clase.  So this weekend when I was at home I saw some serious rhetoric arguments being used. My entire family went to the AT&T store to look at phones. My sister had a perfectly working iPhone 4s but decided that she needed to upgrade to the iPhone 5. My sister who is also 12 years old used ethos by building her case that she has had that phone for 1 year and that the one crack in the back made it unsightly and embarrassed her in front of all of her friends. She had no logos whatsoever to speak of because none of her arguments really made sense, but she got her way by using pathos on my dad. She asked my dad if he could live with himself knowing that his daughter is the laughing stock of the school because he did not buy her a new phone. Sadly, my dad caved and my 12 year old sister has an iPhone 5 while I’m stuck with a flip phone… ok so maybe I have the Galaxy S III. It is the principal that a 12 year old shouldn’t have such a powerful piece of technology. Besides that little fingerprint scanner on there is giving all our fingerprints to the NSA so I don’t trust it.

Also I went to the airport to fly to Syracuse when we went to see Clemson demolish them in football and I sat in front of the noisiest little kid I’ve ever encountered in the history of Delta Airline flights. This reminded me of this image…

They replaced the kids head with a megaphone to show how noisy and annoying a kid could be on a flight and it shows how Sony’s noise canceling headphones could help you relax even with “megaphone kicking kid monster” sitting behind you. How I longed for those headphones that day… I wanted to Falcon Punch his face.

What's good y'all. My name is Tyler Crowe and I'm from Seneca, South Carolina (not Alaska) which is literally 2 minutes away from Clemson. I've been a Clemson fan all my life and now I've finally become one! I honestly hate writing. It's very tedious to me and it's taken me 15 minutes to get to this point. But I'll push through and learn to love it especially if there are fun projects involved and I get to write about what I want to write about. My favorite show is The Office and I shed a few tears during the season finale. Judge me. Also, I enjoy long walks on the beach and freshly cut grass... nah I'm joking but I do like Velveeta Mac 'n' Cheese. That stuff is niiiiice son! I have two siblings; Anna Foster (16) and Caroline (12) and a Labradoodle named Toby Mac (I have no idea how old this dog is...). I also have no idea how to appropriately use a colon or semicolon... But one time I dunked in front of Sammy Watkins at Fike and he said "ooh." So I have that going for me. Which is nice.

But one time I dunked in front of Sammy Watkins at Fike and he said "ooh." So I have that going for me. Which is nice. I played highschool basketball and it is my favorite sport. I especially love it when LeCrap Lames throws the pigskin down the pitch for a touchdown. I don't know how to put a gif on here but I'll learn. I like turtles. And Jesus! 116 I'm unashamed! Woohoo first blog post LETS GOOOOOO.
