Woodstock

One of my most favorite things I ever wrote was my Woodstock essay. This essay was about the largest concert ever that happened in Bethal, New York in 1969. I discuss how Woodstock was a movement that changed and shaped history. This is an exert from the essay that I would like to share.

This temporary community of strangers proved to themselves and so many others that as people all we all we need to be happy is a lot of love, the freedom to be who we want to be and a little bit of music to bring it all together. If proved that we could be happy living without an establishment of rules and social expectations. For three days the attendees of Woodstock festival had all of this, they lived in their ideal community, away form the stresses of the outside world. they had their ideals materialized in front of them and made into reality, now decades later we can all embrace these ideals in out own way.

Men in Advertising

In a recent group project we wrote an essay that analized men in advertising; our focus was the different stereotypes of males that are in advertising. My section of the essay was about the "sexy man" stereotype. This is an exert from my paragraph of the essay.

In cologne advertisements, and boxer commercials, the men have washboard abs, long shinny hair, beautiful eyes, and are over all just gorgeous. So it makes you wonder who the commercials target audience is. If it's a male product you would think it is targeting the male consumer, but men don't want to look at other, probably sexier, mend half naked. Where as women love to watch the Bod commercials and Calvin Cline poster boards make girls double take.
