proposal Expansion essay

The mini essay i have chosen to expand is essay one Men's Men and Women's women. what makes this essay a good idea to expand is that their are four different aspects to look upon and i have only written about one so far. The three aspects i will be looking upon are men's men, womens men, and womens women. I will be going more in detail about each idividual apspect are writting about diffrent advertisments for each one. This time I will be trying to be clear about my examples as i didn't make my first one very clear that it left questions about how it was related to the subject.

Blog #3

In chapter 23 of I know why the caged bird sings, by Maya Angelou  she talked about her emotions of her self as she was graduating the eighth grade. I knew that back then not many people were graduating through school but i didn't know that they made such a big deal about it by giving presents for just graduating the eighth grade. Through out the whole chapter you can tell she was proud of her self and should it knowing she was graduating but at the last minute she is hit by her nervousness as she thinks all these terrible things that could happen to her. As a superintendent came her worries had actually happened as the talker only looked at every one once and pretty much told them that they will nowhere in their life unless they could become a athlete. In the superintendent speech you are able to tell he does not wish to be their as he wouldnt look at them as they were African Americans.

Men's Men and Women's Women by Steve Craig

Steve Craig explains how their are different ways to catch the audiences attention when viewing commercials. It tells that they are able to catch the audiences attention while using the age and a persons gender through market research. Their are four ways to do this. They can catch the male viewers by using Men's men and Men's women. To get the female viewers they use Women's women and Women's men.

In this article I learned that commercials are targeted to specific groups of people. I never really cared about watching commercials since they seem boring to me. For the commercials I have seen I didn't noticed that they were being targeted for a specific gender. I always thought that was how they wanted to pro tray the products they were selling. Steve Craigs article had shown me that I was wrong about that and the commercials were being produced  to attract one gender by using different means.
