Response 3

Questions:

1. Find an example of an advertisement. It could be an image, or a video, and could be for anything—a product, to support a politician, etc.. For that example, indicate whether pathos, ethos, and/or logos are used to persuade you to buy the product.
2. For one of the cases under the “Cases” folder for the Module VI readings, read the case, write a correct legal citation for it, and state (one or two sentences) why it is important for a surveyor trying to determine the boundaries of a parcel of land.
3. View the file named “Survey_Plan_for_Description.PDF” in the “Assignments” folder on D2L. Based on the information in this file, write a metes and bounds description for the parcel labeled “Part I”. Note that it is not necessary that your description be perfect—only that you go through the exercise of writing a fairly good one.

Answers:

This is an ad from Greenpeace Canada. They are trying to portray the importance of how we are abusing our oceans with plastic and pollution in general. The tagline in the ad is ” Don’t suck the life from our oceans.” and shows a baby turtle clearly affected by the destruction plastic is causing. They have many similar ads with different animals and the same tagline. This ad is using a pathos technique of persuasion because most people have strong feelings and emotions regarding animals, especially baby animals. Their tagline is short and gets the point across. Their choice of words also will engage readers feelings. Again making use of pathos.

2.) The case I chose was Langille v. Tanner 1973. The legal citation for that would be:

Langille v. Tanner et al. [1973] 14 N.S.R. (2d) 132

This citation is important for surveyors because they need to have reason and follow legal requirements to make their decision on boundaries of parcels. If a surveyor is working on a job that is similar to this court case, he would want to read the case and see what was done. The citation makes it easy to find and read.

The metes and bounds description I created for ‘Part 1’ is:

Beginning at an iron bar at the north west corner of ‘Part 1’, south of ‘Part 2’. And being 101.00 feet away from an iron bar being the south western corner of ‘Part 2′ at a bearing of N 67° 29′ 30″ W . Thence in a south-easterly direction along a bearing of S 67° 29′ 30″ E for 199.00 feet to an iron bar. Thence S 67° 29′ 30″ E for 10 feet to the intersection of the post & wire fence. Thence S 16° 51′ 30″ W for 220.00 feet to an iron bar. Thence N 67° 29′ 30″ W for 209.00 feet to a iron bar. Thence N 16° 51’ 30″ E for 220.00 feet to the place of beginning.

The hereinbefore described parcel of land contains 1.05 acres more or less and is being intended to be land allegedly belonging to the estate of OWNERS (no information on plan) designated as Lot 26 Concession 7 in the Township of East Hawkesbury, and is shown on filed plan number 46R-5593.
