today im going to blog about persuasive techniques in ads or commercials when advertisers make commercials they always want to create a reason for the public to want to purchase or use there products there are many ways they could do this through bandwagoning, testimonial, stereotypes, name calling, ethical appeal, scare tactics, appeals to vanity, or appeals to pity some of these ads will demonstrate these techniques

this ad appeals to bandwagoning because mcdonalds will hire all nationalities and will hire you to so that makes you want to work for them because they don't discriminate no matter what race you are

this ad is an example of name-calling the ad says that progresso soup has an ingredient that is not good but Campbell's soup does not have that ingredient that is making the viewers want to buy Campbell's instead because it does not have it so it must be better for you

Figurative language in music
everyone loves music well a lot of figurative language is in music figurative language is words and phrases that don't mean what they appear to mean the authors of poems and books like to use figurative language in there writing to appeal to the readers figurative language often adds creativity to there writing and makes the article more interesting for the readers .
the first example of figurative language in modern music is in i love you like a love song by Selena Gomez in the song she says i love you LIKE a love song the key word being like the like is important because in a simile which is the type of figurative language thats being used the words thats specifies simile is either like or as in the songs case it is like.
the next example is in fireflies by owl city fireflies in the song personification is used he says if ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep they fill the open air and leave tear drops everywhere this is personification because it is giving the fireflies around him human like traits the fireflies in the song were seen lighting up the world and leaving tear drops fireflies obviously cannot do those things therefore this is personification.
the last example is in the catchy song i'm yours by Jason Mraz he says i tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted this form of figurative language is the metaphor this use of a metaphor In a popular song might make the song more interesting relatable or the tune more catchy therefore makes the song all together better to listen to then just being literal .
Music is more than just a catchy beat it poetry some people may think poetry is boring and is not fun but everyone loves music I bet you hade no idea that your favorite genres of music were in fact poetry. Figurative language is everywhere almost in everything you read and you have to admit it really does make music better.

3 careers that would be interesting
when i was just a kid i wondered what i would be when i got older i wanted it to have good pay (like most kids) most recenty i wanted to be a prosecuting attorney because i've been obsessed with big city crime shows like ncis or law and order special victims unit prosecuting attorneys stand against the one being charged and defend the victim they are also backed by the state and who wouldn't like to see criminals go to jail they receive decent pay nothing like doctors but receive the same amount of pay as lawyers or attorneys. ever since i was a kid i've wanted to become a marine biologist that was my obsessed with animal movies like jaws. marine biologists spend most there day out on the boat or in the water they study ocean life because marine means ocean and the bio in biologist means life the cool part is they get to work with animals like manatees sea stars turtles many types of fish and aquatic plants like sea kelp but lets hope not to see any sharks. another recent job choice of mine is being an actor i know its a little far fetched but you never know when you will make it big you at least have to try the only bad part is to become an actor someone must discover you in a play or a audition but before you become big time movie star like brad pitt you have to apply for an audition if you get the part then keep going until someone notices you they recieve extremely high pay if they make it big maybe a few million dollars a movie wow! Any of these jobs would do for me but if I had to pick the one I wanted to be most probably the prosecuting attorney.
