Yes, We Can and Other Writers Blogs Due 11/10

Yes, We Can.

The video Yes, We Can contains a mix of celebrities, common people, and the President. From having all these different people featured in the short music video , it gets people on the same level as them. Since everyone can either relate, aspire, or look up to anyone in the video it persuades the audience that "Yes , we can." Making Will.I.AM the center of attention at the beginning of the film and casually bringing him up every now and then creates this illusion that since Will.I.AM is a celebrity so is the President. Repeating the words "Yes, We Can" really digs it into the viewer. Having the voice over with people of different backgrounds and ethnicities gets on a very relatable level. With so much doubt in the world there needs to be some hope. With this music video Barack Obama and Will.I.AM are hoping to spark just a little bit of hope and inspire people to go after anything they want to go after. There are no limitations.

Think About Your Writing.

I have recently wrote a paper about 3 ads that promote global awareness, the prevention of deforestation, and decreasing our ecological footprint. My motivation for the paper was that it was due in a couple days and worth 1/3 of my grade, but also because it's a topic my parents are passionate about and they have passed the passion for nature onto me and my siblings. I state that in the beginning of the essay. I start off with an anecdote and explain its importance to me. I feel that I was very against deforestation throughout the paper, but I can see the reader interpreting my stance as very neutral.
