One can always refute anything they’d like, but to be effective, one needs to have appropriate facts for back-up and a dominating style that brings it all together. Dave Barry has done a great job tying his hyperboles and humor to appease the audience. His constant joking and exaggeration kept the audience content and involved in the writing.

In “Advertising’s Fifteen…” the most entertaining and arguably one of the most vital parts of the article are the examples. In his article Fowles gave several examples for each appeal that illustrated the ideas he wanted to portray. For example, Fowles tries to show how some advertisements use the “need to affiliation” to catch the eye of the consumer by saying, if we don’t use Scope, we’ll have the “Ugh! Morning Breath” (Fowles 663). This example shows how Fowles’ examples are very vivid and shows how advertising companies try to actually use many of these appeals to grasp our attention as well as our wallets.

Nathan Hoffman persuasive essay Mrs. Hultburg 1/16/12 Overreacting a bit, aren’t we? “I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq.” (Colbert) Stephen Colbert, Comedy central funny man, has always known how to put a smile on my face and the face of many other American people, no matter what your political stances he has a joke that will make you laugh hysterically and at times even say to yourself “did he just say that?” In an article on cnn.com first published on Saturday January 14th 2012 by Dean Obeidallah, Colbert is bashed for being a right wing extremist and Obeidallah continues to go on and say that Colbert’s run for presidency

Some could be turned off by the fact that he’s not displaying public information as much as he should be doing. So these issues could count as disadvantages to
The power of life and death are in the power of the tongue. Choose your words wisely they can either make or ruin your relationship.
