For my paper im writing about the movie mean girls. Mean girls has a target audience of teenage girls and you can tell by many ways. First the movie is based on high school focusing mainly on cliques which is what many girls have to go through being in high school. The movie deals with a lot of drama that comes with that, including talking behind someone back, back stabbing and lying all of which teenage girls goes through on a regular basis. With all of this though the movie is very funny, which basically lets teenage girls laugh at the situation they are in. The combination of humor and reality really sells the movie and the moral of the movie very well

This kia optima ad has a target audience of middle to younger aged men. You can tell this by the things he dreams about, Motley Crue, giant sandwiches, Supermodels, driving on a race track all things middle to younger aged men love. ETHOS is used when Motley Crue is there, it shows they like the car and since you like them so will they. PATHOS is used by showing all the things men love to emotionally attach them to the car. Because in reality those things have nothing to do with they car, but if you say the car is as cool as all the things you love they will like the car just as much. LOGOS is kind of hard to see in this ad but at the end you see it when he drives away with his wife, it shows this car is practically and good for his family. All together the ad uses humor to seal the deal. The commercial is funny and draws people to t thus they will like the product more.

my research topic is drinking age. My thesis is It should be lowered because even with the drinking age at 21 alcohol is still a major problem, its not fair to those who are adults but they are not allowed to drink and it has benefits to our Country to have it lowered. Regardless of the fact that we have a higher drinking age, we still are one of the most dangerous countries when it comes to drinking. It because kids dont know how to drink, and even up binge drinking and causing more danger to themselves. Also, i dont think its fair to let kids vote, and go to war but not be able to drink alcohol. And lastly, it has certain benefits, kids will now know how to drink and wont be in danger, also the financial gain from allowing kids to drink is also huge. Of course underage drinking will always be a problem, but changing the law will help make drinking overall a less dangerous situations.

"You are always supposed to make an argument" This statement i believe is true. The book talked about the difference between a research paper and a research report. While you don't need an argument in a research report, a research paper IS about making an argument. Most people when they think of research paper think they just need to find information about something and write about it. But thats wrong you need to make an argument and explore that, the point of a research paper is to try and convince your readers of something.

"You can use your own experiences and observations as evidence" Not only do i think this is true but i think it's a really good idea. Think about it when you are trying to convince your friends that something is true, isn't it more believable when you say it happened to you. Like if i were to say the flu shot can make you sick and my friends don't believe me, then i told them how last year when i got a flu shot i had an 101 degree fever, isn't that more convincing? Its the for same research papers, they help legitimize your argument to the readers.
