Commericals~ Perfection

Commericals that show/exemplify perfection and beauty if you use their products-

• promises professional beauty at home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2rdjjOxqkI
• promises to make you natural glamerous and magazine cover ready. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIwND5HZQvY
• promises girls will be all over you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT6IWAIf580
• promises to make you look like a million dollars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxUd-lI7t8M

I think I could use this commercial in an interesting way because although it doesn't promote beauty it brings up a good point that I could hopefully incorperate into my story.

For Discussion1. I find her description of the tastes and textures of the canned food more nauseating than the descriptions of the dry dog food. The examples of things she uses that are words we in general find gross. She uses colors that we naturally associate with gross like brown and gray.

Strategies And Structures
1. Her writing was very descriptive, other parts of the story that were descriptive like this was "A lumpy, frightening, stringy horror is a sign of high quality- lots of meat." As well as when she said, "Big, purplish-brown chunks" and "The meat chewed like Play-Doh that had been sitting on a rug for a couple of hours."

5. Words she uses are fat-drenched, brown liquid, dissolves crumbs, white-flecked mush, and other words of such nature.

6. The dominant impression created in this paragraph is Dog food is not made for human's and should be barely edible. As well as, dog food is not something someone should be trying

GEM 1: You're not reproducing actual speech- youre translating the sound and rhythm of what a character says into words. You're putting down on paper what your sense of how the characters speak.
GEM 2: "The better you know the characters, the more you'll see things from their point of view."
GEM 3: "There shouldn't be just a single important character in your work for whom you have compassion."
I think that these gems will help me with my stories. I tend to pick a main character and focus on developing that one charaacter so i think Gem 3 will be helpful. I need to feel as involved with each character rather than just focusing on the one main character and not devleoping them all. I also think i should put more time into understanding my secobnd and third characters so that I can adequately deveolpe them. lastly the first gem will help me because I want the diagloue to be real and not forced.
