Here are a few possible topics I think might be enlightening\/interesting to write about (and also compare and contrast):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How are the two latest commercials for the beauty companies Dove and Aussie different but similar? Also, how do the styles\/strategies of each ad affect their respective message?\n<ul>\n<li>Aussie commercial: Man dressed as a women, pretty much making fun of and showing how stupid it is to take care of\/obsess over hair so much. Also pretty much makes fun of its own product because if hair isn&#8217;t and shouldn&#8217;t be important, why should we care what products we use? (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X-igSlC7oD4\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X-igSlC7oD4<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Dove commercial: Doesn&#8217;t discuss product really, but features heartwarming and emotional appeal that shows young girls who don&#8217;t like their curly hair at first, but are sung a song from friends\/family with curly hair that essentially tells them to &#8220;love their hair and themselves&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ou7CyPtkpng\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ou7CyPtkpng<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>How are the emotional appeals in the McDonald&#8217;s &#8220;Signs&#8221; commercial and the Dove &#8220;Love Your Curls&#8221; commercial similar\/different? Do these more emotional appeals coincide with both companies trying to rebrand (McDonald&#8217;s re-inventing their menu, Dove taking on hair care products, etc.)?<\/li>\n<li>Many commercials nowadays try to get audiences wrapped up in a story or situation that just so happens to involve their product as well. How is this interpreted similarly (and differently) in commercials like Sonic&#8217;s &#8220;Buy Your Best Friend a Corn Dog Day&#8221; and Taco Bell&#8217;s &#8220;Take the Money and Run&#8221;?\n<ul>\n<li>Taco Bell:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispot.tv\/ad\/7_9O\/taco-bell-crunchwrap-slider-take-the-money-and-run\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ispot.tv\/ad\/7_9O\/taco-bell-crunchwrap-slider-take-the-money-and-run<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sonic Drive-In:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispot.tv\/ad\/7H0o\/sonic-drive-in-50-cent-corn-dogs-best-friend\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ispot.tv\/ad\/7H0o\/sonic-drive-in-50-cent-corn-dogs-best-friend<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first formal paper for Composition and Communication this semester seems like it is going to be a fun one to write.
