(2nd cartoon on page)
For this assignment i used a cartoon about the iphone. It has a picture of the iphone with an alteration of the icons. The icons represent things that people aspire for. Some include of an exit to war with Iraq, an end to global warming, universal health care, fair immigration, and a cure for cancer. The side of the cartoon says, "the only way the iphone can live up to the hype." This statement is expressing the over exaggerated publicity of the iphone.
Thesis: The cartoon regarding the iphone suggests that iphone advertisements use drastic exaggeration to persuade the audience so abundantly that it seems the product could perform society's greatest aspirations.
I think that this is an interesting and meaningful topic, but I don't think that it is strong enough to write an entire paper about. You should try to find another source of media, such as a video or a commercial, that would possibly be easier to come up with different information about, rather than only having a few things to say in your paper.
