Corset Body Image

Decent Essays
Speaking about the image presented, I think that this is a terrible ad to display. The waist trainer corset expressing that this product is on a quick way of looking thing and curvy. I think this is cheating the body and is only a temporary solution in looking thin. Clearly, this is an elusion because the corset is forcing the belly to be suctioned in, so the outlook seems to give the body a large bust, small waist, and large bottom. Thus, I feel strongly against the image, since it is trying to advertise a product that makes a body look deceiving of the natural true beauty of a real body.

The creator of text is appealing to an sympathetic audience. Specifically, I am able to come to this conclusion by sympathizing with the audience perspective

    Penny Lee in his article “The problem with a $15 minimum Wage” expresses his disagreement over $15 minimum hourly wage at a federal level, more specifically, the government initiative to set a standard $15 minimum wage across the US will generate a negative impact that will hurt not only business and companies by narrowing their possibilities, but mainly affecting the workers ability to maintain or get a job, which will cause a higher unemployment rate. From this perspective, what makes this issue arguable is that it involves a disagreement over whether increasing the minimum hourly wage will help or more likely hurt the job market in US.

This isn’t who always will end up reading it, it’s who the author make them to be. Writer’s cast their reader’s roles in their work to help them succeed in writing their piece.…

    Because everyone differs from one another, each person’s opinions and interpretations of everyday events will vary based on how the information is perceived. These differences are especially noticed when reading and analyzing works of literature. Poems, for example, often lead to an audience with very different interpretations of the meaning being conveyed. Although Natasha Trethewey’s poem, “Artifact,” is a rather simply structured and straightforward poem, the connotations of the diction can cause a reader’s interpretation to be completely different than the poem’s intended meaning.…
