This document provides an analysis of an advertisement for the H.H Scott "The 99" radio. The summary identifies two main flaws in the advertisement's rhetoric. First, saying "even though it only costs $99" implies it is cheaper than other products, rather than emphasizing the low price as a positive feature. Second, the conclusion does not strongly grab the reader's attention, instead weakly stating the product is made by award-winning engineers. The analysis suggests rewording to emphasize the low price as a benefit and concluding more compellingly.

Questions for the class
How did the summary of Misery influence you? Did it motivate you in a positive way? Or Did it create a overwhelming illustration making writing seem even more stressful?
How do you start a paper?
Do you start with a thesis, an outline, or do you start with the body paragraph and add the thesis after the paper is finished? Advertisement analysis In this advertisement about this new H.H Scott radio it persuades the audience with a descriptive overview of the product using strong pathos and ethos. Elaborating on the usage of these two forms of rhetoric the advertisement is for a product called The 99 which one can assume is named due to the small price of $99.95. The advertisement continues describing the convenience of the product telling the audience that it is a simple as plugging in a lamp. Attempting to convey sense of simplicity and quality within the product. However, when describing the price and quality which are the two highlighted points that the products success relies on, the ad conflicts with itself when saying, Even though the 99 only cost $99 the quality is Scott H.H through and though. When the reader reads even though, it sounds like a disadvantage making it sound like there are products cheaper than the Scott H.H 99. Instead, the ad should have read, Not only is the 99 under $100 it contains the unmatched, satisfactory quality that Scott H.H delivers. Another flaw within the ad was when the ad was in its final sentences. The conclusion of the ad is the most important and has to grab the audiences attention, however, the ad attempts to confirm the quality of Scott H.H with this sentence it is made by the same engineering team thats won every important high fidelity award. Essentially, the ad destroys its product because of the poor diction and the lack of details and statistics to prove its reliability.
