Based off of the "Female Fear Factor” essay in the back of the essay "Considering the Issues"; is there to help the reader of this essay expand his or her thoughts. "Considering the Issues“ talk about grabbing the viewer or readers attention, also known as the "hook.” In this video I found Diane Sawyer gives, yet another great example of descriptive words thus trying to capture the attention of an individual; perhaps a busy mother in the early morning before she takes her children to school. Sawyer may be able to hook that mother for at least six minutes or so with these words that she uses: Sawyer states, "Imagine this you can live a healthy vital energetic life well past the age of 100!" Later she states “revolutionary” This video give me a clearer view of what words a journalist may use in order to hype up his or her story.

okay, I see what you mean.
ReplyDeleteThe video was interesting, I don't think I can cut 15% of my total calories out of my diet though. I have a weakness for desserts! Sometimes I eat too much of it and feel sick...I know it's bad for you, but I figure if I eat sweets now while I'm young I will not want it when I'm older and when my metabolism slows down!
She uses those descriptive words at the begging were good it definitely caught my attention. But this video clip was kind of funny cutting 30% of calories and you live 30 years longer I don’t believe it. Also I thought red wine was red because they use red grapes???

It is always amazing to me how many people in our class better yet in the world can read or even look at a video or t.v. show and be able to disect it to a deeper meaning. I mean when I read something I just see what is there and dont tend to think critically but by being in this class I have witnessed that it can be done but it is just something that I will have to work on. For example, I would not have been able to write such a good c/c essay if it wasnt for the meetings with Kate, becasue by meeting with her she brought it to my attention that the images had a deeper significace than what was displayed!
