Rhetorical Analysis








    This ad from Tyson like many other ads encourages moms to buy their food by saying their kids will thank them, but should kids really thank their parents for buying these products?  You may think this food is delicious and great for kids but do you know what goes on before you actually eat this food, like where at all came from? These big market food companies may not be as great as you think. Tyson like other major chicken farms raise their chicken in a broiler farm which is pitch black windowless sheds holding usually about twenty-four hundred chickens which barely get any room to move due to limited floor space. The chickens are bred to grow bigger breast muscles because that’s where the best meat comes from, so because of this most of the chicken legs grow weak and break forcing them  to stay in one place until their all ready to leave . The fecal waste on the floor, which is only scheduled to be cleaned out every eighteen months may cause some chickens to develop inflamed patches of skin. UHG! I understand the place isn’t going to be that clean but can you imagine what a chicken coop filled with twenty-four hundred chickens would look like after not being cleaned for eighteen months I know I wouldn’t. These are just some of the things that go on in these types of broiler farms.

  1. Most of this is *your* response to Tyson and its products (based on outside knowledge) rather than an analysis of this particular ad, what its message is, who its target audience is, how effective the ad or isn't and why.

    I can see it would be hard to write 500 words on this because the ad is so simple, but I do think you could have more fully described it: use of logo, color and font of text, that carnation, etc.
