ATDPTI(part one)

I suppose blogger decided to delete my first post, so here is the first question for the ATDPTI post At his new school, Reardan, Arnold gets to know a book-lover named Gordy, who says that “life is a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community.” How does this idea relate to Arnold’s life? This quote directly relates to Arnold life because of his new struggle of feeling at home on the reservation, and feeling like hes doing something good with his life by going to Reardan.

Burying women with vodka

Out of all the ADs given in the text book, I chose these two because they somehow seemed related in my head...A vodka advertisement, and...dead women? sunglasses? a suit? a nice car? a shovel?...whatever they were trying to sell in the Jimmy Choo advertisement. A) In the Stolichnaya vodka ad is clearly targeting young women who like to party, and horny guys, with the hook being two hot steamy women who look ready to drink a bunch of vodka. 1) The women in the ad connect to the product for the same reason above...(hot steamy women looking to drink a bunch of vodka, which men like a lot. 2) The target audience would be men ages 18-40 who enjoy drinking, and women...You would most likely see this ad in a Playboy magazine, or a biker mag. The ad seems to be effective considering the attractiveness of the women, and of all the different flavor choices they give you on the side of the ad. 3) The women in the ad are in a nightclub looking setting, ready to party. The lifestyle projected promises a lavish,nightclub type lifestyle, promising sex through drinking and partying. 4)The text below the photograph unclearly implies seeking variety in both the product, and in women. It is also telling you that you should try all the different flavors in order to find the one that you think you like, which seduces the target to buy a bunch of bottles of vodka. The reader could be anyone from a child to an old man, yet it is presumed that the reader is between the ages of 18-40 B)Jimmy Choo advertisement was just creepy, wierd and unclear. It could be targeting rapists and murderers of any age, or people that like suits and sunglasses...the hook is clearly the seemingly dead woman in the back of the nice car. 1)In this ad, some guy is preparing to bury a woman who seems to be dead in the trunk of a car. The product being sold is not clear at all, yet it sells whatever it is selling by shocking the target. The desert setting just makes it look like the guy is trying to find a good place to bury the woman. The only thing im expecting in this ad is a murder case. I would have no clue what was being sold, even with the ad name presented. I probably would stop to read the ad, just because of how stupidly shocking the ad is. This ad obviously promoted women violence, the fact that there is a dead white woman laying in the back of a car with a black dude digging a hole to put her in... the whole scene is in pretense, leading up to your expectation that the guy is burying this woman...The whole ad was strangely mind boggling

ATDPTI!!!!!!!!

wanted to add two more questions on here for you know what ;-) What are some of the ways alcohol affects Juniors life? Well....1) Most of the people on his reservation are total drunkards( which I hear is actually true on a lot of reservations)...He grew up around drunkards and pretty much learned how to live through drunkards...not to say Junior is a drunk or anything. 2) Junior's parents were drunks, along with Rowdy's father too, which Junior got to see the worst of first hand by Rowdy's father beating Rowdy all the time, leaving him all bloodied up, which most likely affected Rowdy's sense of toughness. Arnold says he and Penelope are supposed to be happy with their limitations. Explain why dreams are so important to Arnold. Dreams are so important to Arnold because he has spent his whole life growing up around people who are unable to fulfill their dreams due to the living conditions they are placed in. He has been told to be satisfied with what he has because "its all he's ever going to get" which is what he has learned from those around him. Also dreams are the only thing he has to hold onto to feel happy, one dream being the fulfillment of being an artist, which keeps him sane. BAM

6 word memoir

Sifting through doubt to build strength and another one that is more of a grounding tool for getting rid of unnecessary thought patterns like negative self doubt, judgement, worry, and so on. Listening to sounds,quieting the mind

Smashing the teacher

For my cartoon I chose the one that shows Arnold throwing his outdated textbook at his teachers FACE, which is something I have wanted to do to a few teachers on a number of occasions. This cartoon symbolized Arnolds fury towards the living environment he was experiencing and how trapped he felt. It was a cry saying " SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE NOW! I NEED OUT!" Yeah, pretty much. This is the closest I could find to the actual cartoon, much more detailed, yet no graphic facial obliteration.
