Campus Map

The start of my journey starts in Hyde Park beginning at my apartment.  Daily, I make my way to my neccessary bus stop because I commute using the #6: Jackson Park Express bus.  I always make my way to the back of the bus and sit in my favorite seat right by the door for easy exiting purposes.  Everyday, I notice a certain ad that I know has strong emotional value behind it.

This particular ad may not particularly be focused towards me but I know the pain.  My mother was pregnant as a teenager and she expressed her feelings of what she was feeling while she was pregnant with me.  The ad is asking are you pregnant and scared.  It then assures the reader that they aren't alone and tries to get you to call them if you need help.  The ad is most definitely using PATHOS because of its emotional appeal.

This is one smart ad.  I saw it when I got off the bus on Jackson & Michigan. The message that it is trying to convey is to not include yourself in "sexting".  "Sexting" is when you send someone nude pictures of yourself.  They are trying to get the reader to protect yourself and your reputation by not sexting.  I haven't sexted before in my life!  However, I feel that this is pretty cool advertising.  I feel that this ad is using LOGOS. 

This ad is about the extinction of Tigers.  I saw it while walking towards the 33 East Congress PKWY Building.  It tries to bring awareness of the situation.  They are basically giving us information about the number of tigers that are left in the wild daily and that those numbers are shrinking.  They are trying to provoke sympathy within me for these tigers.  It makes me wonder what I can do to help this cause.  This ad uses PATHOS.  It kind of made me sad because tigers were my favorite animals to watch at the zoo.  I don't want to see them go away!

After class is done, I quickly head back to the bus stop, get on the bus and make my way home for some good ol' SLEEP.
