      Video The video shows staff at Chevron think that things need to be done about the big issues too. They show that they are on top of these issues by cleverly pairing the issue posed by the "average building contractor" with the solution that Chevron is putting theirprofits to good use. They are "pumping $21 billion into local economies, small business, and communities.
  • Emily, a Chevron engineer, and Joseph, a building contractor, agree on the need for oil companies to reinvest profits into jobs and growth.

      Parallelism. Shows a Chevron engineer and an "average building contracter" talking and AGREEING on the same issue.
  • Some say our profits are big, but our investments are equally big, too. So, yes, we do put our profits to good use.

      Counterpoints These two sentences address the fact that they do make large profits, but then dispell them by adding that their investments are just as large.

      There are different sorts of appeal; what kind is blue likely to evoke? What sort of appeal is this (logos, ethos, pathos)?

      Blue color is likely to evoke the emotional approach of the reader. So, i would say it pathos

      The website uses various links at the bottom of the first page, so that viewer can get a better understand of the website. It also provides the company's contact details at the top right and bottom of the page, making it really easy for someone who wants to quickly look at some important data and then contact the company for more detailed information.

      By " Impression", I mean to say that the website impresses the viewer by providing almost all the required information under six main outlines on the front page. These "Drop down" boxes give an impression of a good website.

Detox campaign | Greenpeace International - 2 views

shared by Sabina Donnelly on 14 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • Many hazardous chemicals can also be transported in our oceans, atmosphere and food chains and accumulate in places far away from their original source. They have been found to build up in the bodies of animals including birds, fish, whales, polar bears and even human breast milk. The problem and the solution are therefore not only a cause of local concern. This is a truly global issue.
    • Sabina Donnelly
      Sabina Donnelly on 14 Jul 11
       
      Again, this is aimed at readers who are far away from where this problem is occurring. It brings the issue close to home and hopefully motivates the reader to action

  • Of these brand owners, one group stood out in particular as the most likely champions of a toxic-free future - the world’s largest sports brands. Not only are these brands self-proclaimed leaders and innovators, but they have the size and influence to work with their suppliers to begin bringing about real change on the ground and eliminate the use and release of these hazardous chemicals.

      Greenpeace has gone to these companies' websites and selected quotes which express their commitment to environmentally friendly practices. This shows the hypocracy of these companies as they advertise green initiatives while they really do not know or control where their supplies come from.

      This photo and its caption have a lot of impact on the reader. The caption describes discoloured water which can be seen in the collector's sample bottle. Futhermore, the photo shows an odd yellow sludge/waste coming out for the pipe. In the background of the photo, you can see the turbid river water and smoggy air. What is particularily effective is the use of hyperbole. The odd looking sludge is the largest and central object in the photo, dwarfing the person standing next to it.

      Photo # 11 in the slide is particularily effective because the subject of the photo is covering his mouth and nose with his hand while looking down at the discoloured redish purple water coming out of the discharge pipe. When we read the caption, we find that he is doing this due to the terrible stench of the water. Both the caption and the subject's reaction in the photo make the experience more real for the reader as we can imagine the experience as if we were there.

      Greenpeace uses irony in the photo and its caption. We see settling ponds of water in a textile factory and learn in the caption that it is supposed to be treated. The irony is that this is for show was chemical analysis of water shows that the water is not treated

      This site caught my attention immediately. It looked soothing, it is easy to read and it deals with a delicate subject that affects many people. I think the colors of the page accomplished what it probably set out to do, which was create calm. Let's not forget, we are dealing with depression. This subject means something to me as I suffer from it on occasion. I can associate with this personally. The subject is not so much a controversial one, however, those who don't suffer from depression have been known to say, "Get over it!", which can be a negative experience for one in the throws of depression. I think the writers' purpose here it to inform and explain the symptoms of the disease as experienced by those it affects. I believe it also provides a forum for those who simply want to explain where they are at in their depression and to encourage others to understand that this is real and it affects many. It also serves more than one purpose as it provides suggestions on how to deal with it.The thesis, or the overall main point is basically to let the disease speak for itself and allow others to comment on the subjectThe tone of the text is relaxed and does not create feelings of unrest. It provides answers and links to all issues surrounding the subject of depression. I really liked the graphics of what appears to be grass. I imagine laying down in it and breathing in the fresh air. I also took a shine to the dandelions on the right side and I specifically liked the "I'm done hiding" at the top of the page. Many people hide the depression as they are embarrassed.  The highlighted areas are stand out texts for me.

      Logos is achieved as the words are logical. Pathos is achieved as it appeals to my emotions because I have first hand knowledge of this sickness called depression. Ethos is achieved because I trust and believe the written word.

      What I like about these 2 highlighted texts is that it appeals to ethos because I experienced these two statements. Ethos was achieved by what it says.
  • I hid my battle
  • Mountain Biking and Depression
    • Kimberly McCoy
      Kimberly McCoy on 12 Jul 11
       
      This line appeals to my Pethos as I consider it emotional to have "Mountain Biking" and "Depression" in the same sentences. It affects my emotions by making me think.
  • I'm Drowning

      The dandelions appeal to my pathos. They are innocent and carefree.

      The simplicity of the page appeals to ethos, logos and pathos. It is carefree and uncluttered and feels like a safe place.
