good layout- I see you addressing both sides in a clear lay out, Tanya

Anna Marie Hibble said...

Ernest- I need to see your thesis reworded, and maybe focused more clearly. Could a clear subject like "We" be the subject instead complicated "art from past and present"?
EX: We can clearly see how society's attitude toward homesexuals has changed through the art of the past and present.

But this is not really an argument, unless you add a judgment like "but that attitude has not changed enough." (And then you would prove that.)

P5- Conclusion.

Anna Marie Hibble said...

Stef- the layout and thesis are great (though you might wnat to check the syntax of the thesis). As to the end of the conclusion, I don't think you need to solve anything. You can just make some kind of statement about how good art makes us think, and how sometimes even when we are repelled by images we see, that reaction can lead us to take positive action.... Does that help?

Anna Marie Hibble said...

Sabrina- I love this topic. I would like to see you take a stand though: you can surely elaborate both sides but I should know what you think- or are you trying to say you agree with both sides? If so, make that idea clear in thesis.

Anna Marie Hibble said...

Thesis: In our society today the rare media exposure of advertisement campaigns such as the Dove campaign for real beauty is necessary to counter balance what the general public sees as a norm.
Topic Sentence ONE: What and how the norm of a woman is portrayed in main stream media and how it effects society’s perception and standards of woman, re-emphasize need for campaign for real beauty
EX: magazines, movies, actresses vs. everyday women
Topic Sentence TWO: Why I believe society chooses to shun woman or have preference of unrealistic ideals of a woman and re-emphasize thesis
EX: How woman are shun, attraction, marketing strategies
Topic Sentence THREE would be a counterargument: Although some people may believe advertisement campaigns like Dove’s campaign for real beauty is unattractive, unmarketable or even unrealistic – in truth, most of society today in America looks like what is portrayed in those Ads. A woman’s average size in America is 16, the model’s in Dove’s ads are size 6-16 in contrast to most fashion magazines negative size 0s to-2.
Or Although some people may believe marketing real beauty is a marketing strategy also, it is a small price to pay for counterbalancing all these images enforced into a young girl’s mind.
Conclusion

Jaq- good plan. 2 suggestions for your draft:
1. Minimize "I believe/I think" statements. The whole paper represents your opinion already so those are not needed. Stronger and more forceful just to state that opinion as if it were fact.
2. Work with as much active voice as possible. Instead of "images portrayed by the media," make the media responsible by making the media the subject, then telling us what the media does.

Thesis: Language is an art and a way to communicate with people. However, the role of language is a debatable subject nowadays. Some people do not accept other language as a real language (example, Black English). As a result, it leads to a major problem in our society.

Introduction:
1. How most people think of language.
2. define language in my perspective.
3. how language and its relationship to identity affect individuals and communities negatively.

Body:
1st: Like an art form or skill set, languages are passed down through generations and peers within the community of a person’s habitat. Although a language does not have a direct correlation to a certain ethnic group, the kind of language that a person learns definitely has an association to the person’s cultural background. Hence, that is often how a person is identified, and that individual identity also does influence how that person is perceived based on the type of vocabulary, tone, and accent he or she utilizes.
(example, amy tan’s story)

2nd: Besides from using it as an ethnic label, language can also be used to empower or discriminate against a certain group of people.
(example, Baldwin’s essay)
(example, my own personal experiences)

3rd: Nevertheless, language is used for communication amongst people, which allows us to interchange our thoughts, knowledge, and feelings. From my point of view, language is a sign of human beings being civilized and making ourselves break away from existence as individuals.

Conclusion:
1. Restate thesis and my point of view.
2. What should we do to improve.


Sorry, Ms. Hibble. I didn’t carefully read the blog. I thought the thesis and the outline are both due today. I hope you do accept my outline and I also put the thesis altogether here. I do not know whether the thesis would work.
I believe language is an art, which making ourselves break away from existence as individuals. I am arguing for why some people do not accept other language as a real language (ex. Ebonics) and how it affects people and the society. Hopefully, this will work. Thanks.
