Color Plate G Rhetorical Triangle

The triangle for color plate G would look like this-

Exigence- is to sell a car that informs people of the affects that cars have on the environment and its ability to handle any environment.

Purpose- is to encourage car buyers to buy a durable all terrain vehicle that can also be interpreted in this ad as an eco-friendly car.

Audience- is anyone who is interested in buying a new car.

Logic- is that cars should be environment friendly and one should invest in the Saturn VUE, which will decrease the harmful affects to the environment and has the ability to withstand any type of environment, like the forest.

Credibility- is the wildlife around the car, which might signify a fuel-efficient vehicle. It could also be the vehicle’s description in the white box. (The agile handling)

Emotion- appeals to our fear of harming nature and the want of a new vehicle.

The Style, Diction, Syntax, figurative language are lacking in this because it mainly focuses on the visual argument. Except for, “At home in almost any environment.” There is only a brief bit of writing, but the main focus is on the visual aspect.

In my opinion, to say that "The Style, Diction, Syntax, figurative language (sic) are lacking in this" would be completely incorrect; since it is a visual argument, the language is expressed not only in the way that the picture is presented, but also how it interacts with the actual writing.
