Rhetoric Advertisement



Thesis: The advertisement uses the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos in order to convince women that using the product will help them achieve physical perfection.

Ethos: The advertisement creates credibility for the product by utilizing a picture of a woman whose physical appearance is highly desired. The association of the product with the obvious beauty of the woman in the picture convinces the reader that use of the product leads to a similar appearance.

Pathos: The advertisement creates a strong desire in the female reader to look as beautiful as the woman in the ad does. A female reader would conclude that using the make up would allow her to look more like the model and gain confidence in herself.

Logos: The advertisement causes the reader to believe that this make up can create perfection. The statement “perfection has never been so simple” persuades the reader to believe that beauty can be easily achieved by using this product.
