Dear Mrs. Jean Kilbourne

I feel that Jean is correct to a certain point on her view of advertising. There are some very bad ads out there about women, but there are also some ads that were in her presentation that I had absolutely no idea what the problem in it was. Sex sells and it is no secret. I don't know why they would not use a tool that is going to help them make money.

I can not think of any ads right now after seeing that presentation. I feel that she picked all the worst advertisements to show in this presentation. A man is generally taller than a woman so I don't see why that is such a big area of focus. More than anything I feel that this presentation was a femenist plea for men to be punished. On a scale of 0-100, 100 being the best presentation I've ever seen I would give this a 40 just because of its information. There was very little common ground that I had with this person. If it were a man giving this presentation I think it would have had a much more affect on me and the total audience. Also, she talked about how all the advertisements were heterosexual. That is the total way it should be. A man's and a woman's body compliment each other not two women or two men. Heterosexuality is what is normal. I mean this whole homosexual thing has just progressed way too far. The Bible talks about Adam and Eve for Christsake not ADAM and STEVE. All I'm saying is that I think homosexuality a made up thing that people to use when they don't necessairly fit in.

I would consider myself a consumer, and who in this world doesn't consider themself a consumer. If you buy things than you are a consumer. You have to buy certain things whether they treat women or men bad in their ads.

Dear Mrs. Jean Kilbourne I have a question for you. Just because a company doesn't advertise how you would like do you refuse to buy their product? If your answer to this is yes then I forsure know that you are psycho. Every company does this now a days. I agree that this form of advertising is shaping our culture, but the corporations are set out to mak a profit and they are going to do anything that they can.

So this is all I have to really say about this topic at this time. I feel that I haven't been effected by this presentation one bit. The reason for this is because I, personally, did nothing for this. People are looking to get ahead in life and this i s one way they found that works.

Feed (The Most Pointless Book Ever)

I think that the main reason that I don't enjoy reading this book one bit is because it is so unbelieveable. It is possible that this book could take place in the future, but I don't enjoy the future kind of books. Anyways, there are a group of people that the main character, Titus, hangs out with and they all have the feed. Then titus meets a girl that he likes Violet and the story follows their relationship. There is much more going on in this book but any more explaining would just be a waist of your time and my keystrokes. So with that I leave you with Feed a book that I would not recommend.

Persepolis After Thought

Persepolis in my opinion was a much better book than Cather in the Rye. I think that the fact that it was a graphic novel added to its appearance and overall experience. Two of my favorite things about Persepolis were that it was a quick read and it actually had a rising action, climax, and falling action. Persepolis seems to be a book worthy of my term project. I think I am going to research the Iranian Revolution and see how the two stories match and what is different. Please let me know what you think of this idea. I will also discover how accurate her memory was from her adolescent years.
