  1. I like that you included the thesis twice, it's always a good idea to remind the audience of the point you were trying to get across. My advice for this though is to include some outside resources to help develop your thesis more and fill in that third piece.

  2. I feel like the body is very accurate to the ad. However, I feel like there’s no argument being made. It’s a good length and gives enough information but won’t be overwhelming or get boring. Also needs citation(s).

  3. I think this is a very solid outline. I agree with Elizabeth that it is helpful to mention your thesis twice, I think it will really drive that idea into your audience as you are giving your speech. I would maybe develop your clincher a little more, it seems repetitive of what you've already said and as chapter 5 mentions you want to introduce a new idea that gives your audience something to think about. Also think about the "why" the airline would make an ad like this. It seems like you've answered the "what" they're doing but think about what the airline was trying to accomplish by creating an ad about this giant aircraft. You kind of mention how they want people to think about their ad but I think you can add more to your argument.
