Grouse Hunting Fun

(Don't mind the fingers haha it was a joke to my other uncle that couldn't come)

Every year after summertime comes the best part of the year in my perspective. The temperature cools down to a nice 50 or 60 degrees and the leaves start to change. Also it is the beginning of football season. But the best part of fall is the beginning of the bird hunting and deer hunting season. One of the best feelings is driving up north to the cabin to hunt. When you step out of the truck, after arriving at a trail that you feel will have grouse down it, then you grab your gun and slide a few shells into it. Finally you start on down the trail with high hopes of seeing a bird after waiting about 8 months.

It is kind of startling the first time you jump a bird in the beginning of the season because you have all this excitement built up in the off season. After you get a couple birds you head on back to the cabin to clean them. Then you start a fire, have a couple beers, and joke around with your relatives and just relax. I love grouse hunting because it is just a chance to get away from reality for a couple weekends out of the year and step out into the woods to have some fun with your friends and family. In my opinion I would rather be at the cabin or out in the woods instead of sitting at home watching TV.    

Aristotelian Rhetorical Analysis

The McDonalds Corporation and LeBron James is sending the message in the video. McDonalds is one of the biggest fast food chain restaurants in the world and have some very unhealthy food. LeBron James is a star NBA player that a lot of people like. The audience that is being targeted in this commercial would be anybody that watches TV, and basketball fans. It is aimed mostly at basketball fans because LeBron James is the one sending the message. The intended audience members in this video are people who might be having money problems or are just easily influenced because in the video it says that there are 1 and 4 wins and everybody that won in the video won big prizes. The rhetor made this video because they want the viewers to go out and purchase their products. The effect that was intended to have upon the audience was that if they buy the products shown in the video they could have a chance at winning big prizes. LeBron James is a very big star in the NBA world and they probably put him in this video to influence people that are fans of his to buy their product because he buys the product. The rhetor appeals to the audience’s sense of logic by showing the “1 and 4 wins” in the commercial to make people believe that if they buy this product they could win millions of dollars. They establish credibility because they have actually had people win the prizes in real life but I myself do not trust the sender because it is not that easy to win big prizes. The rhetor appeals to the audiences emotions by showing people winning in the commercial and acting happy and they also appeal to the emotions by showing the odds of winning.
