 * Journal Prompt 1.** Cofer's "My Father in the Navy" and Joyce's short story "Araby" are autobiographical or narrative in nature. Review the chapter in the Longman concerning the rhetorical mode Narration (pgs. 109-116). Discuss two narration qualities you see in the poem and the short story collectively. 1 para.


 * Journal Prompt 2.** Conflict and conflict resolution are narration qualities. Conflicts can be man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. self. Describe one example from Mayblum's "The Price We Pay" that exemplifies one of the aforementioned areas of conflict. 1 para.

Adam Mayblum's "The Price We Pay" provides an excellent example of man vs. nature conflict. Adam's office building was located on the 87th floor of The Twin Towers in New York City. On September 11th the building was struck by a plane, causing suffocating smoke to enter his office. Adam tore his wet shirt and tied it around his face to use as a smoke filter. Thick smoke from fire causes many devastating effects to the body's respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Adam's health vs. the smoke illustrates man vs. nature conflict.

Running late, I hurriedly grabbed my favorite trench coat and ran out the door. I was supposed to meet Carol in front of the Empire Theatre in three minutes and I was still four blocks away. As I rounded my last corner, I could see her standing impatiently by the door. Her stunning, green eyes met mine. “You promised, John,” she said. “I know, I’m sorry,” I apologized. Silently, I cursed myself for getting caught up in conversation after work. She smiled and gave me a reassuring kiss on the cheek. “You’re forgiven, just don’t let it happen again,” she whispered in my ear. I didn’t deserve her, I never did.

 * Journal Prompt 4.** Find an [|advertising slogan] and write a descriptive paragraph about what an ad for that slogan should contain: discuss target audience, sensory details, and purpose. 1 para

Maybelline's advertisment for thier slogan "Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline" should: reveal a clear purpose, demonstrate sensory details, and be able to captivate it's target audience. The purpose of the advertising slogan is to persuade readers that Maybelline's products are so perfect they look natural. The advertisement should display a model with thier make-up on to show buyers what it looks like. It should be appealing to both women and teen girls. The advertising slogan needs to grab the audience's attention when they see it.


 * Journal Prompt 5.** Read this [|article] about bad advertisement. Discuss one advertisement you've seen or heard that you believe is poor advertisement--describe the ad so that a person reading your discription could visualize the ad without seeing it. Then discuss why you believe the ad is bad. 2 para

The advertisement I chose to write about has a black and white photograph in the background and on top of that, in color, is a colored picture of the product it's advertising and a small summarization. The background is a photograph of a young boy hugging his mother's legs. The little boy is smiling and looks very happy and grateful. On top of that is a picture of Nabisco's individually wrapped cookies. The summarization beside it states, "Makes kids happy. Makes moms happy. Everybody wins."

 * Journal Prompt 6.** Search the internet or a magazing to find a "good" advertisement. Describe the ad so that a reader may visualize it without seeing the ad. Discuss why you believe the advertisement is good. 2 para

A good advertisement is clearly demonstrated in life cereal ads. The ad pictures a young boy sitting on a counter eating the cereal out of the box. What makes the ad so interesting is that there is a platter of cookies right beside him. Obviously any other child in the same situation would have chosen the cookies to the healthy life cereal. This advertisement is not only humorous and eye-catching, it fulfills it's mission of making the ad effective. I would say the target audience for this advertisement would be mothers with younger children. The color schemes fit the mood of the ad and I wouldn't change anything.
