Me
Hey everyone, my name is Patrick Petrone and this is my English 103: Accelerated Composition blog. I am majoring in Landscape Architecture here at Clemson University and so far I am having an awesome time. I have lived in Brielle, New Jersey (a two square mile shore town) my whole life and I am very excited to have a change of scenery and to be able to experience a different culture. I attended Manasquan High School in Manasquan, New Jersey and participated in various sports and extracurricular activities including the varsity swim team, the environmental club, and spanish club. I hope to continue my participation in these activities or similar activities here at Clemson as well. I enjoy going to the beach, hanging out with friends, and eating good food. I lifeguard for Spring Lake Ocean Rescue in Spring Lake New Jersey in the summer and I think that it is the best job in the world. That’s pretty much me in a nutshell; feel free to comment on my work.

False Advertisement
Different companies use many different advertisement and marketing techniques. The writer or cartoonist portrays his ethos (character or personal feeling) through logos (text, "the word", or drawing) which determines the pathos (emotions) of the audience. In this particular advertisement the artist portrays many different favorable. The tall man in the suit (logos) portrays class and domination (ethos) which makes men who want to feel powerful (pathos) feel as though they can become so by drinking this drink. The cartoonist also portrays sexiness to women (ethos) by using an attractive woman in a bikini being confronted by an attracted male (logos). This may make some women feel as though if they drink this drink they will be sexier and will be approached by classy men. Lastly, the use of the tropical beach background (logos) by the author is used because it is a desirable location universally (logos) and gives the interpreter a sense of tranquility and again, classiness (pathos). In conclusion, many advertisement companies use different techniques and emotions to sell us products by using images and words that may or may not directly relate to the product. As consumers we need to look past these marketing techniques and look at the actual product and it's actual purpose.
