1.) The headline contradicts itself by saying thank you science for saving 17 innocent man, yet screw modern politics for executing 23 innocent bi-standards. The majority of the Ad does support the title.
2.) The picture symbolizes as the innocent people who were killed unjustly. It reinforces the other half of the headline where it is thanking modern politics for removing 23 people from the living because it shows a man about to be electrocuted.
3.) I believe it appeals to both ethos as well as pathos. It seems to be pulling my heart string by saying innocent people are dying because of modern politics. But at the same time referring to ethos by showing how its morally wrong to give some people the capital punishment in some situations.
4.) The ad made a few key points, such as when the ad explained that modern science saved individuals from death row. Such as Ronald Keith Williamson for being accused of rape and murder, and Anthony Porter in being mentally incompetent. But when the ad shifted from saving people, to accusing those same people, it appeared to be that the ad struggled slightly in finding examples. The ad needed more support in this section of the reading, but other than that, very well put.
