Subjec

I will do either hunting in WY or wilderness lands in WY, whichever I can find more sources on.

My Interests

1.I am really interested in travel. Because my father was in the Air Force, I lived overseas when I was younger. My family and I gained a bigger appreciation for different cultures and the history some cites have to offer. Traveling takes me out of the norm and I like the sense of adventure I feel while I am somewhere unfamiliar. It helps me feel more responsible because I have to get myself to certain areas, often when I am alone, and with all of my things. It is because of this interest I want to major in European Studies with a minor in French.

2.I am interested in doing outdoor activities. I enjoy spunking, river rafting, hiking, tubing, ice climbing, camping and sometimes cliff jumping. Many of these things are really intimidating and the adrenaline and sense of accomplishment really make the experiences worthwhile. I also enjoy being outdoors to appreciate Heavenly Father's beautiful work. Outdoor activities also help me stay fit so I feel it is worth my time.

3.I like to learn about history. Old artifacts, cites, stories and civilizations have always interested me because they have a sense of mystery in them. When I was younger I used to love to make up stories to entertain myself. Learning about history always made me come up with more ideas for my stories. The love for history I learned when I was little carried on to recent times. I still like to think about different times, places and cultures. I have to say though I do not like learning about it in school, I would much rather do it on my own time.

4.I love to be in plays. Again it is the sense of accomplishment that makes it worthwhile. There is so much work that needs to be put in to be in a play including making sets, memorizing lines, going to practice every weekday and sometimes Saturday too for months, etcetera. The knowledge that my audience liked what I did is amazing. I also like the adrenaline rush that comes when I am on stage in front of a large audience.

5.Finally I also like meeting new people. Growing up, I went to five different elementary schools, so meeting new people was a necessity for me. I love being able to reinvent myself with every person that I meet. I like being able to have many friends within different groups. I am not a follower so I never just hang out with one group or type of people. I like having the freedom of having many friends in all cliques.

Ad Analysis

Imagine your little girl. She is more effected by the world than thought. She sees every beauty ad with unrealistic looking models. She sees quick fix pill commercials for pills that claim to do anything from helping people lose weight to smoothening skin. She also sees movie and television stars with perfect bodies. This environment is hardly a healthy one for a little girl to be faced with. Fortunately Dove and its organization, The Dove Self-Esteem Fund has a solution.
Their ad, Onslaught, by The Dove Self-Esteem Fund, is effective because it makes parents realize that their daughter may have a self-esteem issue and what is causing it. The ad also gives a valuable solution for the now worried parents. Their solution is convenient and logical. Also, because Dove is a reliable company, and seems like it cares about little girls' self esteems, parents are more willing to listen to what the ad has to say.
The ad starts out by showing a close up of a really cute little girl and is playing music that builds up. When the music speeds up it shows clips of beauty ads, beautiful girls on music videos, and women trying to be more beautiful. In the end the commercial cuts back to the girl has in writing: “talk to your daughter before the beauty industry does. Find out more at campaignforrealbeauty.com.”
Although the ad was effective, it was not perfect. The beauty industry shots overpowered the shots of the little girl, and almost had you forget about her. It also would have been more effective if there were some shots of the effects on the little girl herself.
Despite this the ad was still effective because it tapped into some emotions like the feeling of hopelessness for her daughter. This feeling can also translate into fear and stress. These feelings will make the parents want to find a solution to the problem that the ad is saying could develop. The ad brought up those feelings so that when the watcher reaches the end of the clip he will feel more worried about how his daughter's self esteem will be effected by the beauty world. Seeing that Dove wants to help will make it more easy for a parent to check out The Dove Self-Esteem Fund.
The ad also makes perfectly good sense. Beauty ad campaigns lower women's self esteems so it must also do the same for little girls. No parents want their daughters to have self esteem issues, so Dove offers an easy explanation to visit the website. The explanation is convenient because it is free and one can go to it anytime. Logically, this is a good solution for any busy parent.
Knowing that Dove is a nice, well known beauty company can put a lot of trust in the parent of a daughter. Dove knows about healthy beauty products and rarely uses unrealistically perfect models for their ad campaigns. The company shows that they care about how people feel about themselves which makes Dove seem like they really want to help the parents of girls with low self esteems. Dove also offers a way to help by giving a website to visit.
If you have a daughter and you are worried that she will be effected by the beauty industry, then go to Dove's website: campaignforrealbeauty.com. The commercial was effective because they established a sense of hopelessness but it offered a solution the problem of your daughter's potential self esteem problem. Dove is also a reliable company that is also trustworthy. Visit the website to find tips on helping your daughter.

Putting a cap on the bottled water industry

Ethos: the byline says that Amy Vickers lives in the area where the paper is talking about. She is an engineer and water conservation consultant which lets the reader know that she knows what she is talking about. There is some Ethos established because it is obvious that the author did her research like about the legal issues with Clinton. It is effective because it establishes trust in the reader.
Pathos: The author appeals to the audience by taping into the reader's emotion of doubt about Nestle by telling the readers that Nestle had “spawned an international boycott.” She also has the readers worry about the unspoiled springs that might become spoiled, and for the locals who depend on the water. This is effective because it helps the reader feel emotions about the subject.
Logos: The author makes good points saying that if pumping water then it would be bad for the springs and for the locals so pumping water must be bad. She also comes up with some good solutions. This is effective because she is not only naming the problem but also giving a solution that the reader can help put into motion.

A down point would have to be that the first paragraph did not make any sense to me. It would have been nice if the author had let the reader know what Beakon Hill is or what the subject is because it took me a while to catch up to her.
