Power of Words

I came home from practice, sat down, and noticed this book on the table and it caught my eye right away.  The first words I saw were in pink, HAPPINESS, WISDOM, WIT, ADVICE, INTERVIEWS, and INSPIRATION.  I found these vague words to express a lot of meaning of what is going to be mentioned in this book and it gave me a feeling of wanting to read what is in the book or what it's about.  Not only does the color give off a this vibe, but its also shiny too.  It may not look like it is in the photo but my eye automatically saw it the instant I turned my head to look at the glare.

Not only do I know about Oprah being known worldwide, but she opens up to people and the hearts of others.  She makes strong statements that everyone can relate to and I found the title of this book signifies her personality perfectly.  In gold, they mentioned "big" to tell the reader that it's not just a plain ordinary book.  Also, it says "The best of O" making a statement that this book is worth reading when something says it's the BEST.  Gold and pink can catch the eye of anyone around.

Flipping through the book, I found that it mentioned a lot of pathos, using words like YOU and WE.  it makes us as readers want to get a better understanding of what we can do different about something I our lives and it makes us feel like we are getting all the attention.  She uses a lot of words like LOVE, FAITH, NATURAL, and CONFIDENCE to express the feeling of a more positive side than negative.  All her subtitles in the book attach to the reader even when they are just flipping through it.

An image of Oprah on the front cover grabs attention to readers who are fans of hers, showing ethos.  If it was just words on the front cover, it wouldn't be standing out as much because people rarely take the time to just read what's on the front page especially when it's kind of long.  Inside the book, Dr. Phil is mentioned a lot and he gives his tips of things throughout topics.  Since he is a widely known doctor, this shows Appeal to Authority from the fallacy's because everything he says, people will believe. Oprah, Dr. Phil, and powerful words combine to emphasize the power in one book.
