Arnold + Booze = Hatred

Q ( 7. )   Alcoholism has really put an impact on all indians, but mainly Arnold. He had three people he cared a lot about die from it. His grandmother, who he loved dearly, was hit by a drunk driver. She never drank a day in her life, and she was taking by the hands of alcohol Arnold describes Grandmother Spirit as a women you loved anyone and had the tolerance and patients for people. The last words Arnold's grandmother said before she died was "for give him." She wanted her family to forgive her own killer. It just goes to show how big of a heart Grandmother spirit had. Arnold's uncle Eugene was shot by his best friend who was drunk and couldnt even remember killing Eugene. Eugene always was at Arnolds games telling him "you can do it" and really lifted Arnold's spirits up. Arnold's sister Mary, was also killed by alcohol. Arnold loved his sister, and his uncle and grandmother very much, and it really hurt him to have the people he loved most, die. Arnold believed he had cursed his family by leaving the Rez, so he was a fault for his family members dieing. This part of the book was very sad, and you could feel the pain Arnold was going through. He promises his mother he will never drink or be an alcoholic. His life has been torn apart from this deadly drug, and he wishes to have no part in it. Arnold is strong for everything his been through. I couldnt image going through the struggles he did, nor can I image going to 42 funerals. Arnold is a very brave, strong willed character, and he deserves to be happy.

Cartoon analysis

     
                    The cartoon on page 29 of Mr. P is hilarious! Junior describes his teacher as extremely skinny, has a big nose, dirty clothes, and has dandruff. It just really portrays this goofy, funny looking guy, and I can see why Junior makes fun of him. He does seem wierd, but in the end Mr. P does care about Junior and he wants him to become something in life. He doesn't want Junior becoming like everyone else on the Rez, and that's why Mr.p influence Arnold ( Junior) to go to Reardan ( an all white, rich school) so that he can better himself in education. To me, Mr. P seems like a warm-hearted, genuine old man that truely cares for his students, and you can tell he feels bad for how he treated "indians" in the past, and he confesses to Junior his faults. It takes alot of strength to admit your faults, and you can tell Mr. P himself is trying to become a better person and wants Arnold to do the same.

Dolce & Gabbana Ad

1. Whats happening in this ad is what looks to be a middle class women doing her dishes. The product theyre selling is Dolce & Gabbana perfume, and I believe theyre saying that any women no matter what class youre in, can wear and buy this perfume and be sexy.

2.The women in this ad is doing the dishes and seems to be appalled by something, possibly her chindren or husband, or maybe even a friend. Personally , I think the elements definately do connect to the product, because like I said before, the message Im getting for this ad is that any women can wear this product and that you dont have to be rich to afford it. It is a very clever idea.

3. I think it would be hard to tell what the ad was for, if the Dolce & Gabbana wasnt there. Just because it could be for anything! A soap ad, or maybe even an ad for a brand named dress, but you dont get perfume out of it besides the fact it says the name on there.

4. I would stop and read it simply because I like all of Dolce & Gabbana's ads. Theyre very catchy and creative!

5. Yes, because the way her house looks and the fact that shes "doing" the dishes by hand.  Most people these days with money would most likely have a fancy dishwasher, but not her, and it portrays the setting of a middle class house.

Burger King: The Lunch Battle Is Over

1. Who is the woman in the ad? What is she wearing, and why?
-The women in the ad looks like a women in her 30s, fairly young. She is wearing what looks to be a viking suit, but is made out of cooking utensils. She is wearing it because she is supose to be  "battling" for lunch

 2. Where would you expect to see an ad like this, and why? If you were an advertising executive, where would you place this ad? How would you target your public? Explain.
-I would expect to see this ad all over. To me, its really funny and really draws the people to it. So if i was an advertising executive, I would place this every where!

3. What connection does the tag line, "The Lunch Battle Is Over" have to the product? What association or product image is the company trying to promote?
-I believe this ad is saying that kids are picky eaters, and its going to be a "battle" when feeding them. I believe Burger King is saying the battles over if you come hand bring your kids here.

4. What is Burger King trying to do with this ad? Who are they targeting? Is there a primary audience and a secondary one? Explain.
-Burger King is trying to target mom's in to bringing theyre kids to burger king. I believe this ad targets likely everyone, but mainly moms and their children. Everyone has gone to burger king probably once in their life,  and this is just a humorous way burger king is advertising it.
