Conclusion
-
Playdoh ad is using credibility of characters to
sell both Play-Doh and other brand name products
I really liked your closing analysis about Play-Doh using the credibility of the characters to sell products. I thought that maybe your outline though was a little hard to understand and maybe a little bit repetitive. But overall I really liked your argument for the ad.
ReplyDeleteMuch like Mary, I found the argument to be quite good. It seems as though you have all your main points, although for me slightly difficult to understand. Mark where you want your connectives to be, and just be sure to keep it short and to the point. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think your argument and the rhetorical devices you use to support it are good; however, I think you could improve your overall argument by making it more personalized to the ad. "The ad is trying to sell more than one product" seems pretty general for what an ad is trying to do.
