In this picture we see that what's being advertised is the Burger King Whopper, and it's basically bringing down its competitor, McDonald's, by saying that their product is bigger! in this picture they show that the Whopper is indeed bigger and they try to convince people by showing them that it's true. The speakers in this image are the people trying to promote the whopper and how great it is but, they don't show for example how many calories it has, what it can do to your health nor if it's cheap or not all they are saying is "Buy a Whopper over a Big Mac because its bigger. The type appeal in this is logos, because it gives us reasons on why to buy it (because it's bigger), and Ethos because it gives credibility with the image shown. To me this advertisement does persuade me in some way because the nice looking burger makes me hungry and the message that they give us saying that it's bigger than a Big Mac so in my mind what runs trough it is "go to Burger King!!!!!!!!!"


   Here we a whole value meal, and in my opinion the speaker who is the people trying to make us buy the product is persuading us to buy the whole meal with includes the fries, burgers and soda.
This is the edited perspective that the McDonald's meal. The actual burgers look kinda like the one on the bottom right and thats whose perspective is left out (the real one). The type appeal in this is pathos in my opinion because it alters people's emotions on this product. This advertisement wasn't successful because it doesn't say anything meaningful to their product to try to persuade us into buying this.

blog post #2

part 1:
The things that make me happy are being with the people I love, and just having a really great time doing something fun even if its with friends. The times that i'm the happiest are probably when
I go out and meet new people at the parties and just have a really good time with the family and friends. I also love art, drawing and painting! I think that a national happiness index is a good idea only if the government is going to do something with it, like actually help the citizens to be happy because if they just do the questionnaire and not do anything about it in my opinion it would just be a big waste of paper and time so it would be pointless. In my opinion, the best way to measure a nation's happiness is probably to do an online survey, but as i said before ONLY if the government is going to do something about it.

part 2: To my understanding, the story "I've been called a luddite" implies that all of this technology around us it really unnecessary, because we can mostly do everything we do already without technology! like send a message or chat with friends, of course it would take longer though. I kinda don't agree with the story because of course we can do all of this things without technology, but in my opinion technology was made to make people's everyday lives easier right? and i wouldn't be able to live without music, communications with friends etc. because it has turn to be an adaption to a lot of us, this is what we grew with and this is our way of living.
