The Giver

FREEDOM:There is no freedom in this book it is all taken away. Everyone follows order.
Conformity: Everyone conforms to the community's regulations, or else they will be released.
Interdependence: This community all works together instead of individually.
Individualism: Everyone is to act and look the same. Individuality is frowned upon.
Ignorance: The members of the community are ignorant to the past memories of pain.

Ad. Analysis

The ad I am analyising is the ipod nano ad in chapter 2, although I couldn't find the exact image, this image is similar to the ad. In this ad they are using simplicity to sell this product. Since apple is so popular , the image of an ipod speaks for it's self. There audience is Apple consumer. People desire apple products, that's why every 6 months or so they have a newer edition, because their consumers don't mind upgrading. I don't think Apple needs to change anything about their ad, because regardless of what they say in the ad, it will be sold based on popularity.

 

 

This ad is selling the Galaxy 3. I chose this ad because Galaxay is the new competetion for iphone. I believe the quote "It doesn't take a genius," is referring back to the iphone since many users complain that the iphone is to high tech. The Galaxy is supposed to be an easier phone that does all the things an iPhone would. In this ad they are comparing their phone and using the iphone to sell their product. This is actually a great ad since people think the iphone is the best phone out and in this ad it shows that the Galaxy is actually a better choice. This ad targets anyone considering buying a new phone and doesn't know what phone to choose.

My Ideal Community

In my ideal community I would ban $$$. Money is the root of all evil and also holds power. I believe money was created in order for people to have power over others. What makes a rich man any better than someone who is poor??? Power, that is. Without money everyone would be equal. There would be no high-class, low-class, or middle-class. Everyone would be sheltered and have anything they dream of. Without money there would be more peace since alot of violence is created by money.There also would not be war.

Since my community does not believe in money, education would be free. Anyone who desires to learn will have the opportunity. Who knows.... Maybe there is someone with a cure to  cancer or AIDS, but they will never be able to help us cure people, because they can't afford an education....

Employment would be of equal opportunity. Since education is free, then anyone could have a career of their choice. Instead of working to survive and provide food and shelter and struggle to make ends meet, people in my community would only be working to help the community function properly. It would make work more enjoyable since it's by choice, instead of a must just to live.

This is a judgefree community based on equality. Every race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. is accepted. There wouldn't be any discrimination. Equal opportunity for all.

Laws would only be enforced to protect people from harm. Only violent offenders will be incarcerated. Minor offenses would be corrected and rehibilated. Death penalty would be taken away, since studies show that there have been innocent people executed.

The Giver

In Lois Lowry's novel, The Giver, she creates a community based on interdependence. Everyone must conform to all rules and policies or else they are forced to leave the community. Everyone seems to be happy with the way things are ran, although their freedom is basically taken from them. This community is far different from how I was raised. In my country freedom is one of our rights. Laws are only enforced to protect, whereas in The Giver, laws are to keep them from making mistakes. Being independent is honored, and in the book being independent is shamed. Everyone is to work together in order for the community to work.

Tattoos

In Stephanie Dolgoff's essay "Tattoo Me Again and Again," she expressed her feelings towards tattoos. I slightly agree with her. Tattoos should represent or symbolize something, but some tattoos are just for show. I have a few tattoos that don't nessasarily mean anything special, but I got them just for beauty. I have stars on my stomach, not because they mean anything imparticular, but because they are beautiful to me. I believe anyone should get a tattoo whether it means something or not. There are more explanations for getting inked up other than to express yourself. Some people use tattoos to cover up scars that they are embarrassed of, others use it to stand out, some people are daring and just want to try something new. Whatever the case may be, I think it's all good. As long as you are happy in the end, is all that matters.

life sentence

I live life off FAITH && HOPE, past influences or harsh reality can't ever STOP me from believeing in MYSELF.
