Recommended: Sexuality in literature

One of the characters in the novel, What we all long for, Tuyen, is a lesbian that has a crush on her best friend Carla, who assures Tuyen that she is straight and also always denies any spark they may have. Tuyen seems to be comfortable with her sexuality while Carla appears to contradict any feelings for her although they have intimate moments. A few possible reasons Ikea made this ad could be to demonstrate a sort of comfort and understanding to those who are struggling with their sexuality. One of the passages I chose from the book as follows “Straight women were never as straight as they put out, Tuyen figured. She had, after all, slept with numerous straight women. They merely had to be convinced. And there had to been a few times, after

  • An Analysis Of Sarah Haley's Thing Thighs

    1118 Words  | 3 Pages

    A vast majority of this ad is in black and white. The Psychology of Color says that black is a powerful color and with the black and white the producers are giving an authoritative tone to the woman. With no colors, the image is simplified, giving a wide range of ways it could be taken. There is only one hint of color in the ad, which can sometimes be indicated as the most important piece; the pink, the tribute to our femininity. Just like in Haley’s chosen ad in the [Re]Writing, this image is in black and white with pink writing. “By using the ‘girly’ colors that symbolize love and passion with the negativity associated statement, [the thunder thighs] it suggest that women should love their bodies,” Sarah Haley, page 108. Pink is a prime component of all Playtex ads, it is meant to salute our feminine side. With the new liners it is advertised that our tough, athletic side can also be praised, giving a best of both worlds kind of image. Even the box of this product is meant to stand out and promote our love with our bodies, with an emphasis in pink and yellow. Yellow is known to advance from surrounding colors and install optimism and energy, and pink is bright, sensual, and passionate. A wrap of all these colors, the black and white image, and the pink and yellow box and writing, it can be inferred that we should be happy with our

    Advertisements in Life magazine showed women mainly in ways were they were responsible for kitchen duties and taking care of their husbands. In the early 1950’s, there were recurring ads of women with refrigerators. In an advertisement from 1950, a woman is dressed like a typical housewife standing next to the refrigerator showing all the features it entails. It gives off the message that during this period of the 1950’s, society saw women as the face of the kitchen and a majority of the duties as a housewife took place there. Another advertisement from 1950, gives a clear indication of gender roles. In the advertisement for a refrigerator, the women and her daughter are shown organizing their refrigerator, and the man is shown as carrying in the refrigerator. The advertisement expresses that women are more fit for domestic work and that men are more for the labor tedious work that a woman cannot do.

  • Advertisement in Magazines: Sara Michael´s Company Case study

    1122 Words  | 3 Pages

    The ad is not just a picture or a word that says, “this is the best, buy this.” It is actually made up of different types of evidence. One type of evidence of this is the visual details of the ad itself, minus the product. The first thing people would notice is that the whole ad is in black and white, except for the product. Using this style of advertisement is very creative because it makes the gift stand out ten times more than if the entirety of the ad was in color. It was wintertime, most likely around Christmas, because there is a door in the background that has a Christmas bow on it. The ad was also placed in the November issue of Glamour. The product consists of multiple bath and body lotions, body wash, shower gel, and bath sponges in the gift box. They are all on display together in a very well-presented fashion. The bright colors are very eye-catching. There is also a little picture frame in the box that has a picture of the two girls in the ad in it. This puts a very strong emotional grasp on the reader because it may make them recall their friends.

    The story I chose for this analysis is “Why, you reckon?” by Langston Hughes. IN this analysis I will be focusing on how the great depression in Harlem had effect on the story, how racism played a part, and how or if the characters were justifyied in their actions. During this time period the intense racial divide combined with the economic harships that plagued the U.S. during the 1923’s makes for an interesting story that makes you think if the charaters were really justified.

    In conclusion the ad shows its appeal to logos, pathos, and ethos by having a woman on it and having her state her opinion. By having the character state her opinion it will make people who see this ad think about the issue at hand. In addition to that the ad uses a simple but effective way to capture the audience’s attention. It captures attention by using a well-known character, a short but effecting statement, and a simple color scheme to draw attention. Doing so helps grab the reader and then further deliver the message of pro-choice and that it’s a woman’s choice to do with her body as she pleases.

  • The Impact Of Sexualization And Objectification Of Women

    1447 Words  | 3 Pages

    The product featured in this add is a pill shaped blue tooth speaker, it does not have gender restrictions socially or functionally, and yet, the company only really targets straight males. They have excluded large pieces of society, and though it may have sold well among the targeted demographic, they missed the rest of the populace. The song they associated their ad with is widely known for is dehumanizing and objectifications of women, and regardless, they still decided to use it, and faced very little criticism about it. Other media or companies may have seen the lack of reaction to the ad and possibly attempted very similar publicity which further ads to the already over whelming about of sexualization in media. When companies continue to do that, they tell the people that take in the media that this is okay, that it is normal to treat women like objects. Media is so accessible and constant that these floods of images and messages are constantly being thrown at people, and it only takes so long before they may apart to believe

  • Cosmopolitan Ad Analysis Essay

    1250 Words  | 3 Pages

    Women read Cosmopolitan to find confidence in themselves especially in their sexuality. According to Mark Crispin Miller, a professor at New York University specialized in writing, “Advertising agencies do plenty of research, by which we can assume that they don’t select their tactics arbitrarily” (119). Although this ad is distinct from the other ads in the magazine, it is clever because it stands out to the readers and it did not get thrown into the magazine because they felt like it. The creator carefully analyzed the audience and the other ads in the magazine. Cosmopolitan has a copious amount of ads referring to glamor, confidence, and sex. This ad does the complete opposite, it throws out a natural look and a real life situation of being scared. The tone is different for it brings the reader back into the reality of their lives realizing they should not wander too far societal expectations. Women are expected to wear high heels to work every day and know how to cook and clean. They are incapable of being independent and wandering from those expectation. If they do wander, they are not going to make it because they are incompetent of living a life out of the norm. Cosmopolitan’s readers are reading the magazine to find confidence in themselves, but this ad throws a kink in those thoughts. This ad tells women that they really are not capable of being
