  1. I think you have a really awesome outline. I can already start to see your argument building. I would just make sure to add a credibility section after your introduction.

  2. Personal critique: I have committed an egregious act by using a rhetorical question. I have an obsession.

  3. I really like your expanded thinking throughout your outline, especially in your conclusion try to find that greater meaning within the ad. Nice detail of adding the transition point in your outline and your thesis is solid. My only gripe is that I would not have your attention getter be a rhetorical question, in my opinion and Vrooman's book at least, unless you feel it is thought-provoking and will grab our attention then by all means, go for it. Other than that, there is a lot of good stuff going on here.

  4. I think overall you have a good outline that seems easy to follow. The two things I would probably recommend is maybe not using a rhetorical question right at the beginning and to cite Vrooman's chart.

  5. This is a really good outline. It's detailed and easy to read and follow along. If you happen to get lost, I don't think you'll have trouble getting back on track.
