Growing up in a world where people think fashion is everything, seeing perfume and clothing advertisements can make young people want to be like the people in those ads. When reading magazines, you see a lot of sex. Many name brands think the best way to sell a product is through sex. Dolce & Gabbana is an example of selling sex to make a profit. There are very few ads where they are not selling a product through sex. On the D & G website, almost every ad is sexual. They have men and women lying together. They also have half naked people in their advertisements. The media states a fact whenever they advertise things, when they advertise with females half dressed they are saying that small sexy girls is the way of life. Perfume ads are the main cause for young people to think that they should look a certain way. In this perfume ad they are trying to sell a lot of things. In this ad they are selling a lot of sex, leisure and vacations. The colors of the ad are bright, which represents happiness to the customers. They could feel as good as the woman in the picture. It seems as though they are targeting both men and women, so that females can feel good about themselves and male can buy this product for their significant others. This Dolce and Gabbana ad is also promoting to middle and high class customers, because they are promoting their sells through their name. The name is big at the top and the actual perfume is small and off to the corner. By the name being so big and at the top of the page lets customers know that it is an advertisement through a name. Then as you go to the bottom of the page you see a small perfume bottle, which tells that they are trying to actually sell perfume, but the name alone sets off a very expensive effect. Another aspect about this advertisement is that the woman is barely dressed, she looks very relaxed and as though she has just come from a swim. The water in the background gives off the affect that the woman is on vacation.

This is shown by Bradford only thinks they are barbarians and Rowlandson has grey area in her time spend with the Indians.…

    There are countless of negative interpretations that can be said about the Tom Ford advertisement that basically contains a woman caressing a Tom Ford cologne with her almost bare breasts. However, putting all the negative comments aside, the advertisement has served it sole purpose, which was to get the public’s interest and attention. The focused demographic are men, and when it comes to selling products to men, sex sells. Applying my cultural eye on marital status, which in my case is dating experience, men are extremely physical beings. If you want to get a man’s attention by placing a basic photograph of a cologne, you will not get the respond that you are seeking. Whereas if you place an advertisement with an almost naked woman (like…

    In the poem “Icarus,” Christine Hemp uses literary devices to convey that a father-son relationship can be problematic. Hemp pulls a twist on the original myth, and retells it in Icarus’ point of view. Her version of the myth shows that Icarus wasn’t very fond of his father Daedalus; however Daedalus didn’t realize that Icarus wanted to be free. “bound by the string…for years to untie TO I didn’t know…to return” (#14 and 15 TO 16 and 17) This quote portrays the emotion Icarus feels towards his father by the use of irony. At this point, the reader understands that Icarus had to deal with Daedalus with only the hope of exiting the prison, but once free he longs to be away from his father. Christine Hemp threw a new strand of emotion into the mix by showing that Icarus wanted to be free; as doing so, he caused a catastrophe. “Poor Daedalus, his mouth an O below, his hands outstretched to catch the rain…” (#18 and 19) This excerpt shows diction, which illustrates Daedalus’ innocence with the words ‘poor’ and ‘O below’. Hemp also tried to show the difference between Icarus and Daedalus by using asyndeton. “my clumsiness with figures, father’s calm impatience, cool logic, interminable devising.” (#8 and 9) This shows Icarus’ reasons as to why he doesn’t like Daedalus, and why he tries to be better than his father. Since Daedalus is clueless, he couldn’t prevent Icarus’ death; now the reader can infer that Daedalus will have a life of sorrow and regret, without knowing the truth. Hemp’s use of the devices diction, irony, and asyndeton help the reader further understand the myth in a way the original myth couldn’t.…

    The quote “The bravest of individuals is the one who obeys his conscience” was once said by a man named J.F. Clark. Many situations will be faced by many people, but the bravest ones are the ones who listen to their conscience. It takes real courage to stand up for what’s right and no to support what is wrong. The novel To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, is great example to help prove this point. J.F. Clark’s idea can help be proven true after one examines two things. After reading To Kill a Mockingbird there are many characters that can help support his idea. Atticus and “Boo” Radley are the two characters that best support the quote presented.…

    Joyce Carol Oates wrote, “reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another’s skin, another’s voice, another’s soul.” This quote more or less sums up the sole main purpose of why many people read fiction. The reasons why a reader likes or dislikes a work of fiction may seem to be random, or even shallow, such as its ability to grab attention or keep a reader hooked with on stereotypical drama. However, when a work is actually examined further, deeper levels of understanding can be discovered. There are always conscious decisions made by authors of fiction in order to captivate the reader, in connecting to help them to connect to the characters, being intrigued to create intrigue by the narration itself, and being romanced to romance them by the style of writing. By reacting to these conscious artistic decisions, a reader can decide whether or not they are emotionally pierced or struck by a specific work. One way this attachment is achieved by the author is by creating an archetype, or something that many people can recognize or relate to. This can be in the ‘type’ of fiction the novel or story falls into, or the characteristics one can notice in a stereotypical character type. (Question: Why would an author want to mask real meaning in something that repels reader?) When this recognized archetype is looked at initially, or on a surface level, it can cause a bad negative reaction in the reader. ; Archetypes are very likely to result in a dismissal of the story because the reader feels that they have already ‘been there, read that.’ They are repelled by the work due to its boring nature and repetition. This makes it all the more powerful when an author can use the illusion of archetypes to mask the deeper meaning of a story or depth of a character. When they are looked at in further detail, and examined very more closely, certain illusions of an archetype created intentionally by the author can be very useful. By breaking…

    Nowadays the use of sexuality is a very popular way to advertise a product. The concept of using attractive people to sell any type of merchandise is everywhere, and this is effective because when you look at an ad of this kind you don’t focus on the product; you focus on the sex symbol. I chose an ad from Davidoff’s Cool Water campaign that appeared in Men’s Health magazine on September 2008. “Flesh sells. People don't want to see pictures of churches. They want to see naked bodies,” said Helen Mirren. If we consider Mirren’s quotation within the context of Men’s Health, we can assume that regardless the reader, they both want to become that model to attract a lover.…
