Question

Read the two arguments below, which both have the same purpose: to convince the reader to buy a certain kind of camera. Identify the kind of appeal used in each passage. Then explain which of the two you think is more effective and why.

Passage
Passage 1:
As Americans, we value freedom more than anything: the wide-open prairie, an endless highway, the chance to simply get up and go explore new frontiers. So why would we want to lug around a giant camera that slows us down, that keeps us from getting to that unknown point where the perfect shot awaits? The XL-5 is no bigger than a credit card, so you have no more excuses. The only thing standing between you and snapping a pic of your next great adventure is . . . you.

Passage 2:
There are many cameras on the market today, but only one meets the three major criteria that consumers are looking for. In a recent survey of 10,000 electronics customers, over 90 percent claimed they wanted a camera under $99, small enough to fit in your pocket, and with top-end resolution. That seemed impossible . . . until now. Introducing the XL-5. If it's right for 90 percent of consumers, chances are it's right for you. Get yours before they're gone.

Answer 1

passage 2

Step-by-step explanation:

it makes people to know how easy it is to carry

Answer 2

In an English perspective, Passage 1 uses an appeal of Pathos.

This means appealing to the reader/consumer's values and emotions. They try to appeal to the American value of freedom.

Passage 2 uses an appeal method of Logos, by presenting monetary statistics and incentives.

Personally, I think Passage 2 is more effective. People, no matter their background, want something inexpensive and high quality. Maybe not all Americans value freedom as Passage 1 suggests. Or maybe, the entire market is not even American. Passage 1's path of appeal is very limited.

Additionally, Passage 1 seems a bit forward and too emotional.

Passage 2 makes consumers act quick by telling us to "get yours before they're gone!"- a pretty smart marketing tactic. And it gives a sense of hope by saying" that seemed impossible... until now"
