6. I'll have to show you in class, but its all too common there. It's a common type of body language they have that I didn't know what it was! 4:13 PM Feb 19th via web

7. Focusing still on language, I remember in Brazil they'd say, "[something] was so -- **wipe their head with a finger and snap**" What's that?

These commercials appeal to the emotions of the audience using the common fear of death or suicide (fear of falling) to their advantage of getting their message across to the viewers.
It helps illustrate the intensity of how many deaths really occur amongst the smokers for those who have little or no idea what its like to lose a loved one because of smoking. Using the child in the extremes of second hand smoking illustrates as well the strategy behind the innocent parties involved who inhale second hand smoke and die from it as well.


Obama’s Education Speech
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xrSO1rHlDM

President Obama relates well to the students with his acknowledgment of past experiences of being tired and having to go through difficulties yet demonstrates how he endured them with diligence.
He uses strategies of relating to them, acknowledging the students, influencing them and encouraging them to do better by giving them motives of what to look forward to and how they can do better and what they can do if they strive to do better. He reviews with the students how he has spoken of various other things and how things have been arranged to ensure they are cared for until the responsibility is in their own hands and what is truly expected of them, thus putting a little burden of pressure to do better in the long run.
