Analyzing Verbal Abusive Relationships
Pictures are said to be worth a million words. But have you ever taken a moment to analyze a picture such as an Ad or a commercial? Most commercials or ads persuade you to buy something that they are selling usually by cheesy actors or delicious looking food.

One ad is for teenage girls and the other is for middle-aged women but both show that there is help for both victims at the same hotline number. Another appeal that’s used to analyze a picture is pathos. Pathos is the emotional side of analyzing. These ads persuade a viewer 's emotions. We instantly feel awful for both the girl and the women from the image. Looking at the image of the
