What does Nick really think?

I feel as if Gastby has taken advantage our friendship. I have the suspicion that the only reason he persued this relationship is to attract Daisy's attention. His sole purpose was to ensure that I would set up a meeting between himself and Daisy. And the meeting felt entirely forced and awkward. I also get the feeling Gatsby also used Jordan to encourage me to set up this meeting. I worry about Daisy at times because of her difficult relationship with Tom. He is a terrible excuse for a human being. He only abuses and manipulates others.

BP Commercials

Emeril Lagasse

The first clip uses glitteringing generalities. For example, he repeatedly says,"We're doing a good job." and uses other glad words. He uses ad populum wheb he metions that he does not know the facts or statistics, but he does know how much the oil spill is affecting the people.

Olympic Athletes

These advertisements use the technique of transfer in order to transfer the positive, patriotic feelings towards the olympic athletes to the company of BP. It also uses red herring to divert the attention away from the issue of the oil spill.

Committment to America

This clip uses plain folks when it shows ordinary looking people enjoying their time on the beaches on the Gulf. It also uses observational selection because it doesn't show any of the negative effects of the oil spill.

Promoting Tourism
This advertisment uses bandwagon to suggest that everyone travels to the Gulf to have fun. It also uses glittering generalities to convince people to visit the Gulf.
