Peek-A-Boo! I See….. Rhetoric?
Rhetoric in the world is as common as books in a library. From whatever location, look to the left and POP! there’s rhetoric. Look to the right and POP! there’s more rhetoric. Without rhetoric, the world would be bland and boring. Thankfully, we have artists who brilliantly craft words to grab our, the readers, attention. I’ve even managed to find examples of rhetoric all from my kitchen!
1. Antithesis- You can do it, we can help (Home Depot slogan)
2. Parallelism- Save Money. Live Better (Wal-Mart slogan)
3. Personification- Milk’s favorite cookie (Oreo slogan)
4. Onomatopoeia- M’m! M’m! Good! (Campbell’s soup slogan)
5. Onomatopoeia- Snap! Krackle! Pop! (Rice Krispies slogan)
Rhetoric concerns everybody. Finding examples is only a matter of opening your eyes. So open your eyes, look around you, and see how many you can find!
