NHL All-Star Game

This past weekend, the NHL All-Star game took place in Raleigh, North Carolina. This year NHL executives decided to take a risk and change things up a bit. Instead of having the traditional East verse West teams face off, a fantasy draft was created allowing the players to select their own teammates.

persuasive rhetoric

The persuasive message here it pretty simple; stop smoking! Smoking kills.

The intended audience here would be all smokers and young teens who perhaps are beginning to ponder the idea of smoking.
