Essay #6: Ad Analysis

For this essay, use one of the advertisements provided by the instructor in the “Advertisements for Essay #6” page. (Do not use an advertisement from one of the discussions, homework, or examples in the reading.)

Note: This essay does not require peer workshop feedback since it is replacing an in-class essay we’d have during a normal semester.

Making sure to indicate which advertisement you are using, write an essay analyzing the form of the advertisement and why it was constructed in the fashion it was.  Much of what you learned for the Rhetorical Analysis essay will help direct your analysis here.

  • In the same way you would with the Rhetorical Analysis essay, consider the purpose of the ad and the intended audience.
  • Analyze how different components such as subject, text, font, color, pictures, drawings, graphics, and logos, would affect the reader.
  • How does framing or placement of components on the page help build content and influence the reader?
  • Additionally, analyze considerations such as tone: is this ad serious or humorous, and how does that tone affect the reader?
  • If there are models (people) in the ad, can you see the face of each, and where is each person looking? What does the gaze imply?
  • If you can’t see the face or entire body of each, what do the areas included or omitted imply?
  • Is a specific lifestyle beyond the product itself being marketed to the reader?

Don’t forget, as with any essay, your finished product should exhibit sound organization, grammar and mechanics, and development.  When you’re finished, upload your Essay #6 to the submission link at the bottom of the Essay #6 Module on Canvas.

What Is Human Trafficking

Use your topic from the presentation, and find more sources to write the research paper. In order to have your own argument as well as thoughtful discussion of sources, combine your opinions and arguments with the opinions from the research. Find at least four articles on the issue that you have chosen. At least two of these articles have to be opinion/argument articles (i.e. containing the author’s position on one side or the other, not just facts). Also, all of your articles have to have an author (blogs, chain letters, or Wikipedia are not acceptable sources). Best sources: library resources, or sites associated with universities or major newspapers. Tip: you can add “scholarly article” to the key word if you use Google or other search engines on the web. Do not use articles that ask for any money. The library provides its own search engine with plenty of articles on a great variety of topics (so go to “Library” on the STC website, go to “Articles” and you will see several options. EBSCO is a good one. You can also use Google Scholar.

List the points that will become paragraphs in your paper. What kind of evidence will you use for each point?

Points with Evidence

Look at the YouTube clip regarding points and evidence for your Argumentative Essay.

The whole purpose of your essay is to prove the claim you make in your thesis. How is this done? This is accomplished by choosing points or sub-points to include in the paper about the claim. Within the points and sub-points, there should be evidence to support them. To say, “because that’s what I believe,” is inappropriate and not substantial for this type of essay.

The only time a personal example may be included is if you experienced it firsthand; if this is used, it is only used as one source of evidence and has a paragraph or two (if applicable).

ASSIGNMENT:

List the points that will become paragraphs in your paper. What kind of evidence will you use for each point?

Address the way that cultural and social structures influence these two stories – ”I killed her because i loved her” and ” and eye for an eye”.

/in /by

Essay two

For this assignment, you need to address the way that cultural and social structures influence these two stories – ”I killed her because i loved her” and ” and eye for an eye”.

Cultural and social structures you can choose from (address at least 3): class, race, rights, access, equity, participation in social justice action, concepts of law and justice, geography, politics, gender, race, class, religion, dynamics of power, privilege, oppression, and/or opportunity. For example, you might examine the way that law and justice and social justice action are depicted in Malawi and Kenya. Or you might compare and contrast the relationships between geography, religion, and power in texts from Nigeria and the Navajo nation. Or you might analyze the influence of power, gender, and religion in texts from Iraq and Ghana. Or any other combination that interests you.

Essay Requirements:

1. Well-developed introduction, using one of the devices provided in the lecture. Conclude your introduction with the thesis—this should be one sentence and it should be placed as the last sentence of the first paragraph.

2. Clear and specific thesis that includes the titles of the texts and the main point you are arguing about cultural and social factors. It should have a thesis

3. Multiple body paragraphs, limited to the discussion of one idea each. Make a point about the comparison and then prove it using examples from both of the texts. This way you are directly comparing them. Then move on to the next paragraph and make another point, using examples from both texts. And so on.

4. Evidence: Your body paragraphs must use well-chosen quotes and/or paraphrases introduced by signal phrases, and appropriate MLA citations from your chosen texts.

5. Conclusion should not simply restate your thesis. Your paper should end with a conclusion the revisits, but not restates, your thesis. Leave the reader with something to think about. Answer the “so what?” question. See the provided lecture.

6. Point of View: For our class in our essay assignments, first person (I, me, my, mine, our, we, us) pronouns are not appropriate. This puts the focus on the text and your main points, not on you as a writer. Additionally, please do not use second person pronouns (you, your) as they are confusing. You as a writer or your reader as a person should not be addressed in our written assignments, unless the assignment specifically allows for it.

7. Works Cited Page in MLA format.

8. Length and format: Your essay should be about 3-4 pages, double spaced, easy to read font.

9. Title: Try to be creative with your title. It does not take quotation marks, italics, bolding, underlining or any other changes in font from the rest of the essay.
