Showing vs. Telling

The breakfast was delicious

Waking up to the sun on a beautiful spring morning. The birds are chirping and my mother is calling my name. As I am walking down the steps, I smell homemade Belgium waffles and scrambled eggs. When I go to sit down at the table, my plate was already made. The white Victorian china plate was filled from rim to rim. Gasping as I go to take a bite of my hash browns that were steamy. I swear, it felt like I ate my whole plate within a few seconds. It filled me up for the rest of the day.

Advertisement-Tommy Hilfiger

The advertisement I picked was Tommy Hilfiger in the Fall of 2011 Campaign. The idea that was brought to my attention the most was how young and “hip” the people are. You can tell that all of these people are in their early 20s. They are all dressed in, obviously, Tommy Hilfiger clothes, which are supposed to be preppy and colorful. Because the clothes are preppy they are all on a tennis court. Tennis is known as what all of the older rich people play. Well at least that’s what I think of. But the actual advertisement on TV is playing a song that is very up beat and catchy. Definitely can’t miss the commercial. All of these young adults are dressed in these nice clothes running around a house looking like they are having the time of their lives. In the end, I believe Tommy Hilfiger, or the spokesperson is in the ad. He is actually in all of the ads that Tommy Hilfiger produces. I’m not sure why they have a dog in every advertisement. So, the main thing that stuck out to me the most was how there are always so many people in the ads. It looks like they are always having a good time and just pausing in action to take a quick photo and then start to go back having fun. Everyone is extremely attractive and all of the cool haircuts stick out as well. It matches the clothing which is also supposed to be fun and for younger people. 

Gay "Marriage":Societal Suicide

In the short story that I had just read was biased. I thought of this because he was a Christian and served as a U.S. Marine Corp. He knew his facts mostly about the amendment and rights but he kind of went all over the place with them. He also didn’t state that as one of the amendments is the freedom to be who we want to be in the United States which he is kind of making himself look like a hypocrite for using amendments but not bringing up the main one. He says he is a supporter of the amendment so then why does he care if people are getting married with the same sex. It’s their freedom and right. I personally don’t have a problem with same sex marriage. It isn’t harming or affecting me or any one else for that matter. He is missing omission when he starts to talk about the amendment. Most of his information is non-relevant in this case. When he brings up percentages of adolescents it really doesn’t make sense. They assume people are the way they are because of their past. He is trying to say people who have experienced awful pasts with not living with a mom or father will turn out to be gay which isn’t the case at all. He is taking for granted about people past relationships with family members. Some of the context maybe accurate but I feel like most isn’t. What appealed to me about the authority is that he kept brining up Christianity, his religion, and he came from an elite school, Brown University. Even though he sounded very smart and seemed like he knew what he was talking about, when I broke down each step he had many mistakes made.
