Techniques
           Many techniques are used in advertising. Two of the techniques that the commercial below focuses on are Emotional appeal and Transfer. Emotional appeal gives us a feeling of of happiness, sadness, and other feeling. This is effective because it appeals to your emotions happy, sad, mad etc.Transfer connects a product with a positive image,lifestyle, or idea.This is also effective because you might want to be like the baby when he is having the time of his life.

Transfer is used at the end when the baby is having the time of his life in many events. Emotional appeal is a good technique because the emotions like laughter and sadness are very persuasive because sadness makes people think about what would happen.

            Opinion
I like this commercial because it makes me happy and puts a smile on my face. The transfer part of the commercial makes me think if i get the product I can do all the things that the baby did.The target audience could be people who want to save money. Also the target audience could be people who want to save but use most of the money. I think that the target audience would like this commercial because there is humor behind saving money by blowing it. I think this commercial made a lot of money because of the humor from the baby in the commercial. There are other Etrade commercials commercials with this baby and I think these commercials will keep making money. I think that if this commercial keeps making money as long as they keep the baby and tell the truth about the product. I know that Etrade works because my Aunt has Etrade because she wants to save as much money as possible. My Aunt save an enormous amount of money when she started with Etrade. The baby in these commercials tells you a lot about this product so that you are happy about with Etrade.

Monster of China

The First Emperor of China 

 In 1974 farmers found a sculpted head in their soil. Which lead to the discovery of Qin shi huang's tomb. Qin was only 13 years old when he became Emperor. He became Emperor in 246 B.C. Qin was a ruler with many powers and a lot of money. Qin made the first version of the Great Wall of China, and took over 36 years to build. Qin had money and power but wanted more, he wanted immortality. But when he failed to get immortality, in his tomb was another empire to help him in the after life. The tomb of Qin shi huang had an army of terracotta warriors. The terracotta army included archers, cavalry, chariots, and foot soldiers. But he envisioned that he would need citizens in the after life as well. This included government officials, acrobats, dancers, singers, animals, and a strong man to entertain him.

 My opinion
Qin shi haung was a cruel ruler for how he massacred the army of six states without mercy. 
He put 100 of thousands of people into harsh labor. showed no toleration for dissent. If you did have dissent he would have you killed on the spot, and ask someone else to do the job. People who he ruled over tried to assassinate him seven times but he lived through all of them. When Qin shi haung made his tomb it cost an enormous amount of money, and with all the money he had he didn't share any of it. This shows that Qin was a greedy ruler and he also didn't respect anyone.

Top ten facts

1. An army of 8,000 clay soldiers to accompany Qin shi haung in his tomb and after life
2. Terracotta warriors are over 2,200 years old

Supercroc awakening

Introduction
In the giant river lives a beast with over 100 razor sharp teeth that could kill anything it needed to kill. 110 years ago there was a monster that was 40 ft long and weighed 8-10 tons and could kill a giant dinosaur. The Supercroc was probably the best predator that ever lived. Supercroc lived in Africa and spent most of it’s life in the river but could hunt on land as well as in water. Because of the supercroc's strength some people say that the supercroc could have could have killed a T-rex easily. Although Supercroc was one of the most dominant  predators on the planet, they were very rare because a crocodile like this needs a large space to live.

My opinion
My opinion I think Supercroc could kill anything that challenged it. This Supercroc could also go 2 years without food and months without water according to the video "Crocs eating Dinos". Plus the jaws were five feet long according to Peter Winker. also the life span is 50-60 years. According to National geography Supercroc had cousins know as Boar, Rat, Pancake, Dog, and Duck croc.
