Legos are a toy we’re all familiar with, especially if you stepped on one of them, but mostly because they allow you to express your imagination through a simple piece of plastic. Although the intention of providing building blocks for our childhood imagination by having the freedom to build whatever we want, many of us continue to use legos till this day regardless of our age. For kids it’s a toy and for older people it becomes a puzzle where you can build more elaborated stuff. This advertisement effectively uses logos, ethos and pathos to convince the audience to buy legos. Using a simple boat shaped lego with a shadow of tank supports it ad by illustrating how children have such big imaginations that they can turn a little piece of plastic into a whole fantasy thing.

The intended audience for this advertisement is not only for younger children but also for anyone who is looking for a way to express their imagination by creativity.

Finally, appealing to the emotional side of the audience shows the use of pathos. It is certain the ad tries to appeal to emotion because it promises parents their children will have a good time and be happy while playing. Having said it prompts the parents to feel the need to buy something to
