Strong/Army Strong

t-shirt:

Observations:
Back of a black t-shirt with white words:
There's Strong.
Then There's Army Strong
and yellow letters:
goarmy.com

Inferences:
The army says people can be strong, or take it one step further by becoming army strong.
the www. is left out of the website because sometimes people ignore websites

The army has an advertising campaign that says that there are two kinds of strong: just strong, and army strong, which is a step above just strong. This shirt is an effective visual argument towards the intended audience which is similar to those already wearing the t-shirts; young men and women who are interested in going into the military. The shirt is effective because it is not overwhelming, but simple which is important because people usually glance at shirts other people are wearing, so there can't be too much on them.

My weekend

Kristina-
Hey. Even though you were with me alllllll weekend.. let's recap:

Friday after my last class Kyle came and picked me up in his big red truck. We drove all the way back to Franklin without getting in any wrecks.. which is surprising because Kyle's truck is too big for one lane on the interstate...
When I got home I went to the garage to get my car. Then I went inside my house to ask my mom where my car was. My crazy mom took my car into the shop to get the seat fixed, even though I was soooooo proud of how well I had rigged it to stay up with a dog leash, jump rope, and suitcase strap. Sooo since I had no car all weekend, you came and picked me up!

Then we went and picked up Sean and Austin and Gino and went to downtown Franklin and walked around for awhile until that got boring. And then we all went back to Sean's house to watch a movie. That night was kind of uneventful..

Saturday I woke up on Sean's couch and everyone else was already up which was cool I guess because it was really easy to find a ride home.. Then I went to Opry Mills Mall with you and the only thing we got was food which is kind of stupid considering how far we drove to get there.

Then I went home, took a shower and got changed then went back over to your house. We hung out there for a few hours and then Kate and Jayne came and then we went to MTSU to hang out with my friend Buddy. Buddy introduced us to some of his friends (one of which drove like five miles on the sidewalk next to the street and almost died...) and we all went to the Sig Ep fraternity house. And from there we got in all sorts of trouble and I don't know how/when I got home.

And I'm out of time to write anymore...
later



Grandma!

Hello! How are you doing? All is well over here at the University, and there's not much to report on. The weather is very nice, but very hot, too. Over the past weekend I went home to check up on mum before she heads out to England to see you all. We had a really nice breakfast on Sunday morning (although she did make me order from the kids menu), but unfortunately we did not actually get to spend that much time together. I spent most of my weekend traveling around Williamson County trying to catch up with some of my friends that I have not seen for awhile. I even went all the way out to Murfreesboro (which is about a fourty-five minute drive) to see my friend Buddy! Anyways, there isn't much more to tell, so I will write again soon!

I hope your weekend went well,

xoxo

Video one:

burning oil representing drugs

egg representing brain dropped into oil

eggbrain starts frying over the oil

mans voice asks for any questions from the audience

video two:

woman with a frying pan representing drugs

smashes egg representing brain

egg drops showing what body goes through

smashes plates representing family 

continues smashing things representing friends, money, job, self respect, and future

asks audience if they have any questions

Both of the videos demonstrate an ad using rhetorical strategies. The initial strategy is ethos by opening with a sentence using the word "drugs" or "heroin," which appeals to the ethics of people, knowing that drugs are bad. The second ad uses more of the pathos strategy by demonstrating that using drugs not only affects the user, but the users friends, family, job, self-respect, and future. The smashing of the plates makes the audience (the ad is directed towards potential drug users) think about how a decision they make could destroy everyone around them. Both videos use logos by showing an actual representation of your brain and what using drugs can do to it. The videos both establish credibility at the end by claiming that they belong to the Partnership for a Drug Free America, which is a part of the Office of National Drug Control. Both are affective when directed at potential drug users, but the second add shows the affect on the brain but also on everything else in the users life, while the first focuses only on the brain.
