1. Purpose  
1. To inform the audience of the new Kia Niro and for Kia to get there name out there more
1. How: through humor and celebrity endorsement
1. Humor: made it humours by making common ideas funny
2. Shows Melissa McCarthy trying to be eco friendly in a humorous way
3. Relatable because a lot people would like to be eco friendly
4. Celebrity endorsement: used a funny and unproblematic actress to portray the issues     
2. Effectiveness
1. I would say it wasn't all the effective at selling you the product because it didn’t inform the audience that well of what they are selling
2. I do think that they made the brand more recognizable through its humor, but it didn't give that much information on the product itself

This commercial in from the 2017 super bowl.  In this commercial, Melissa McCarthy can be seen helping with a lot of known economical issues.  I think the purpose of this commercial was to make the new Kia more recognizable.  It was shown in the super bowl, so a wide variety of people saw this commercial, however, I think the audience is young adults who are looking to buy a car.  It is obvious that there are many issues in our economy and this commercial shows the audience some of the problems in a humous way by using Melissa McCarthy.  I think by pairing a serious topic with a humors appeal, it makes the commercial work.  I think this commercial was effective because it is easy to remember and it talks enough about the car to make people curious, but left out enough that people would have to do more research.

Assignment 1: Analytical Report

The purpose of the analytical report is to familiarize oneself with the type of writing one will do in their field.  For example, many science papers are written in APA format, rather than english papers written in MLA. This project will help when writing a paper in ones field.  I am a health and human physiology major and have yet to write a paper in in APA, which i know is the proper way to write a paper in this field. This paper will also help me with my interviewing skills as we need to interview a person in our field of study.  This will also help me with my research skills, as we need to find 3 academic sources and 3 that are not. Overall, I think this paper is going to give me a general idea of how I will write papers in the future.

1.  How long should the interview be?
2.  What is considered an academic source?
3.  How in depth should the interview be?

What is Rhetoric?

Rhetoric is the use of figure of speech to persuade someone via writing or speech.  People use rhetoric in their everyday lives, for example, the editorial section in the Chicago Tribune or when you trying to persuade someone of something via speech or an advertisement.
