  1. Everything you have stated, I agree with completely. I think the way you have discussed the ad being so realistic and so focused on the young girl is a strong argument to run with. I believe you could work a lot with the argument of girls feeling they always have to impress men, and having fragrance shampoo can give them that boost of confidence.

  2. I agree with most of your analysis. I especially lie that you pointed out the guy's posture asserting dominance; you can definitely make an ideological argument out of that. Dig more into the text at the bottom. I can't read it because of the quality but I do think you can talk about how the company tries to sell the shampoo and if you think it works or not.

  3. I agree with all of the points you have made. I especially like how you said the product can please both the girl (compliments) and the boy (pretty girl with nice smelling hair). I also agree with what Hailey said and think you can make an argument over how society tells women they have to constantly impress men. They are also working with a microscope so you could make an argument that the girl is a nerd and that the guy likes her because of the shampoo.
