Today was a really stressful day for me. However, I feel much better now that I am home sitting at my own computer after a long shower. This semester is quickly flying along; before we know it it will be Thanksgiving =)
I am anxious to start fixing the errors my peer reviewer noticed in my c/c essay and am looking forward to moving on to the next paper... I wonder what it will be on?
I am really enjoying this class. I really love showing people my writing and I especially enjoy getting better at it. This class is so essential for us who live in the 21st century. To be able to pick a part an advertisement can help you if you are interested in a marketing degree, and it can also help you to understand the next ad you see on T.V. It also opens your mind to a new realm of understanding marketers tactics. I will never look at a billboard, magazine, or commercial the same ever again!

ReplyDeleteI like you last point, Jenny, I am also trying to be so much more critical at the advertisements I see every day. Now, I find myself asking questions about the ads; I see such as what is their audience, do I fit into the audience they are targeting, and why did this ad catch my attention and not any of the others? I'm sure that advertisers ask these questions all the time, it's the audience that gets mesmerized.

I think it’s crazy what the media can do just by using advertisements. We literally get sucked in without ever thinking about it. At least I did, now I find myself looking more carefully at the ads and thinking how they are actually selling the product.
