First assignment

First I hated the way Anne Lamott wrote that passage. It was an annoying way to write that passage. Sadly that makes me not like or agree with a lot of what she says. But I do agree that you cannot just sit down and write a perfect novel or paper. Any writing piece can always be improved. Nothing will ever be perfect, there is no such thing in life. For me, I love to write essays, letters to friends and family. I dislike rereading what I wrote and revising, but I know that I should and I do. Well most of the time I go back and reread and edit what I just wrote but sometimes I feel lazy or just honestly forget. When I was younger I wanted to be a writer because I did have a natural talent for it, but some way along the read of growing up I just never pursued the passion. My writing has gone up and down in strength but when a day comes and it is a weak day I regret not pursing my childhood dream of becoming a writer. When I write something I can write it and take a long time or sometimes extremely quickly. I also can feel with my writing is great or just alright. I think blogging will improve my writing greatly and increase my typing skills, from being more actuate and faster. I use to have a blog and I’m glad that I will be restarting something that I loved.

My Ad


The Ad is from Victoria Secret and it is trying to sell bras and sexy underwear. The author is Victoria Secret a worldwide company! Audience for this Ad is for male and female. Mainly for females starting at the age of 13 and up! The purpose for this ad to sell sexy undergarments. they are succeeding with this by placing a beautiful woman in sexy undergarments. They are trying to get the woman to want to look like the woman in the ad, so therefore they feel they will look that good if they buy that underwear. The purpose for the men is that they see that woman and want their woman to look that sexy so they want to buy it to see it on their woman. Pathos goes along with the purpose it makes the men and women feel the need to look like the woman on the ad to get attention. Ethos would be that Victoria Secret is published Worldwide and is one of the top selling clothing company in the world. In this ad there is a lack of Logos.

Gender Roles

In this picture it clearly states that women roles are changing everyday. Back in our past , the women of this country use to stay at home and did work inside the home, not hard labor for a small wage. but now in 2008 it is common now for women to go to work and make the income for the family either with her husband or all by herself. this picture is showing a woman working really hard on a piece of machinery getting a dirty and building muscles. but this lady's face isn't showing a happy face, that she is not pleased with what she is doing, that is also changing each day. there are hardly anymore hard labor jobs like shown in the picture but more cleaner jobs. what I am trying to say is that woman can work just like men and be the bread winner in the family but it is neither right or wrong either way. just make a choice that fits you best! then you will be happy!
