Analyzing a picture

Pg. 132

1. This picture first appears in sport magazine that are giving to consumers what type of trends that are here now and that will best suit them for sport. The audience is everyone who does sports. The speaker is the people that are selling Nike products. 

2. I first notice a big Nike sign. Since everything else is small and the Nike sign is place in the middle of the picture and is very, my overall first impression was that this was an advertisement for Nike. 

3. The visual address that Nike is obviously a sport brand since the symbol is placed really big in the middle of the people playing on a golf field. With the slogan written in big "Just do it" it shows that Nike is a sport brand that motivates people to work harder or achieve their goal.

4. The text tells a story. It explains that Nike can suit everyone at any time especially during the day for a relaxing hangout with friends. With the few objects and the amount of space between everything you can see that it is a very calm and settled moment between two people.

5. The picture makes you feel relaxed and motivated. First you can see how calm the setting is with a nice sunny day with a blue sky and secondly you can imagine how it is to be on top of hill playing golf in this sunny day full of fresh air with a friend. 

6. The figure is both realistic and caricature. It is realistic because it shows to people playing golf normally but it is caricature because out of all the grass that has been cut short, the Nike sign is the only big and large object in the picture.

7, 8, 9. In out mind, we can obviously see that this is an advertisement as i said earlier. After seen this picture we would surely want to buy the product. Not only for the short motivational slogan but also for the big nike symbol placed in a relaxing setting.

1.Same-sex classrooms should not be a problem for students in grades 10 through 12 because it allows them to socialize better and also be opened with all types of gender.
It is a closed thesis because it states the main point and also it has the word because. It is effective because it goes straight to the point of what i am trying to say.

2. Although E.M Froster's position in choosing between betraying his country against betraying his friends might be a fair choice, without his country he would have not been who he is today in the sense of his culture.
It is a counter argument because of the word although. It also shows how I'm disagreeing with the author, how i am challenging him.

3. Gun control who is a major issue in the u.s and who has the tendency to increase the death rate of innocent people is just one of the controversial problem that could be fix without affecting anyone.
A Open thesis because it does not states all the points of how it could be fixed. I can talk and talk until i have made my point. I do not limit my argument.

4. I agree with the fact that advertising limits people's will to choose because it has many hidden messages and persuasive methods that makes you think that what the advertisement has, no one else has it and that it is the best of all.
It is a closed thesis because of the word the word because followed by the main points that will be elaborated on. It focuses on the most important point of the essay's prompt.

5.  Teachers should be completely strict with its students when it comes to plagiarism because they will allow the future generation to be trustworthy people and have a open mind in every subject, be able to think outside the box.
It is a closed thesis and it is effective because this is not a very big subject and you can go straight to the point and write a short essay out of it.

Its claim of fact is that Miley cyrus maturity rate is evolving too quickly and that she is becoming provocatively and sexually public.

One of its main criteria is the popularity of the song 'we can stop' by Miley Cyrus

He would receive many thumbs up as much as many thumbs down. 

He had given many examples following each part of the song that he was analyzing or reviewing.

He is talking about the obvious part of the song to support his claim and also to make the people realize that even Miley is not trying to hide her message and that there is no need for denial

He even went into the religious part of the song by adding the devils name and by asking us a rhetorical question to make us wonder, " why does she stick her tongue out so much" and previously from that the author spoke about how she is affecting young girls' status and how parents who noticed react.

Another criteria are that the author proves that his knowledge of the new Miley is just based on a obvious observation. He also does not know what as gone to Miley.

As his claim of value, he agrees that she is not a bad singer compared to others and that’s a reason
