There is a link of a Mad Men - The Carousel presentation. After you watching the video respond to two of your peers. In your response, analyze how effective the specific image/line identified by your peer is during the presentation and how it weaves together with other rhetorical devices to achieve Don’s goals.
Response Statement should each be at least 150 words.
Peer Statements:
Peer 1:
"One rhetorical mode that Don Draper uses in the Mad Men video is pathos. Draper often appeals to the audiences emotions and sympathies. He says "this device is not a space ship, it’s a time machine. Goes backward and forward, it takes us to a place where we ache to go again". While saying this he shows pictures of him and his children playing and having a good time. He appealed to my emotions, not only with his words but with the pictures he used. He reached my emotions in me wanting to look at pictures and wishing to return to a certain place or time of happiness."
Peer 2:
"In this particular scene from Mad Men, Don Draper uses pathos in his presentation. More specifically, when he includes pictures of his own family that would appear in the Carousel product he is pitching. Preluding to the slide show, Draper mentions "the public can be engaged in a level beyond flash if they have a sentimental bond with the product." He focuses his presentation around the feeling of nostalgia - something that everyone can relate to - something that the people that Draper is trying to reach, will make them feel more connected to the product. Major life milestone pictures that Draper shares are personal events. Marriage, creating a family, love, are all portrayed in the photos. Not only does the audience feel more connected to Draper who is sharing intimate details of his life, but because they also have those moments in their own lives, the product is of more interest to them."
