3rd Essay Prompt

   For my essay, I am going to be defining what makes a Hall of Famer a Hall of Famer. This is because I enjoy watching sports and everyone has their own opinion about what makes an athlete meet that criteria. For example, in basketball should someone who has averaged 25 points a game be inducted over someone who had 15 points and 10 assists per game. It is tough for those individuals who have to induct players over other players that to some people might have been better than the ones inducted. That is why I think they should have a set goal so nobody is cheated. In baseball, it takes years after players have retired before they are ever inducted. A set goal would allow for the players who met the goal to be inducted. There is no way to please everyone all of the time so I think that every manager in the sport should discuss and vote on the goal.

     For my essay, I am going to compare the TV ad of Doritos and the Food Network show "Hell's Kitchen". I want to compare and contrast these two medias because they both talk about food but use two different concepts. For example the commercial uses humor to attract the audience while "Hell's Kitchen" uses anger and frustration to appeal to the audience. The commercial gets its point across in thirty seconds but the TV series makes the audience want to tune in every week to see what is going to happen next. They both use logical facts (logos) to inform the audience what the purpose is. For example, the commercial's purpose is to get the audience to want and buy Doritos. For the TV series, it is about who will make it through the tough challenges to receive the grand prize of there own show on the Food Network. They both use emotion (pathos) to attract the audiences attention.
