I love your choice of commercial. I love Taylor Swift and that's why it was a good idea for them to put Taylor Swift in this commercial because she is a role-model. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a very good job explaining what exactly the commercial is trying to get at, and how effective this commercial actually is. It affects not only the younger women, but also some of the older generation. I agree that using Taylor Swift is a great idea, being that she is a huge role model for many people in today's society. Good job!
ReplyDeleteYou analysis of the commercial is very well done. You make the claim that the commercial uses visuals, audio and a desire to be beautiful, and use sound evidence to back-up that claim. More specifically, the examples you use and quotes from the commercial throughly explain your thesis. Additionally, you brought up a very good point that Taylor Swift is not a make-up expert. However, you effectively refute the objection by example how she is a significant role model in society today.
