This television commercial is a representation of an ethos appeal of rhetoric. The fact that Lebron James has nothing to do with vitamin water, and yet is advertising for it shows that he is using his popularity to sell this product. Lebron James is known for his athletic abilities, he doesn't say anything about how the water tastes or what benefits drinking it gives you.

This report is about how obesity is on the rise. I think this article is an excellent example for the logo, or logistic, approach to rhetoric. It uses figures and statistics to prove its point. It uses percentages and numbers to back up the evidence that it gives. It also states specific states that are affected for its evidence!

I feel as if this ad uses the pathos rhetoric approach. I feel this way because it is using your emotions to sell the product. Although the statements made are true, it relies on the fact that you know you can't "pause life." In my opinion, the ad makes you think about all the things you could be doing instead of being in pain, and that deals with emotions, which expresses a pathos approach to rhetoric.
