Magazine

Magazine advertising is commonly singled out for the role it plays in providing and transmitting standards and ideals. Williams (1980) argues advertising’s primary goal is to teach social and personal values, including gender construction (in Pillar, 2001). Specific to gender, although not exclusive to it, advertisements use stereotypes to quickly convey messages and ideas.

The poem I selected is “The Raven” written by popular American writer, Edgar Allan Poe. I chose this poem because of the pass experiences that I had with Edgar Allan Poe’s literary pieces. I remember in 7th grade when I had a teacher named Mrs. Scalici. She introduced the whole class to a short story called “The Tell Tale Heart”, which is one of Poe’s most famous pieces. The poem was very good, I liked how the poem was gory, detailed, and interesting. It went perfectly for the season, which was…

I selected this as my third because shiny things capture attention and thinking about shiny things tend to make people happy. My ring makes me happy.

The second ad was about Viviscal,…

1. In the desserts section, I’d incorporate some opinions of the writer. Like the other food articles in this magazine, an opinion on how the gluten-free desserts tasted and which one was the writer’s favorite would enhance the article. This change would make me more likely to try Jacquelynn Beckmans best dessert. 2. The “Earth to Seattle” article is a little misleading.
