everyone is doing something or thinking in a certain
way and that the reader should do the same.
b. Testimonial - when a product is endorsed by using
words from famous people or figures of authority.
c. Transfer - when a product is endorsed using the
picture of a famous person, things, ideas, or
symbolisms but no words from the said person,
thing, ideas, or symbolisms.
d. Glittering Generalities- To use words that reveal
the writer’s opinion and tend to make the listener
feel good without understanding why.
