I am really in complete agreement with Jess...Chris-<br />I am really in complete agreement with Jess's comments. I think she basically nailed the strengths your blog post demonstrates, and also the areas of improvement for you to focus on for the future assignments!<br />Overall, well done analysis of the Glade commercial and good job with your use of the quotes from the pieces by Lipsitz, Lull, and Newman. One minor issue (really minor) is that MLA format is the citation of the author of the piece of the writing you're quoting (as opposed to the editor of the anthology if the piece was included in such a text). The WC list doesn't need to contain the edited anthology as a stand-alone entry because you've already included it as a part of the entries for the individual works authored by Lull and Lipsitz (in this post's case).<br />:o)<br />Jessie<br />P.S.

A few things:
1. The connect...This was well done. <br /><br />A few things:<br />1. The connection made between the Glade commercial and the Lipsitz reading conveyed a really strong point about American consumerism and societal expectations about femininity. <br />2. The argument flowed really well in connection to the readings. You also did a great job analyzing the 'big picture' and mentioning that commercials like Glade are not the only form of media representing a dominant ideology.<br /><br />Two suggestions for improvement:<br />1. The conclusion may have been stronger if it re-stated the stereotypical role of a female in American society.<br />2. The paper provided a strong argument and connected perfectly with the readings, but it seemed to turn away from the initial argument (womanhood is synonymous with caretaker)into an argument about why the media maintains this stereotype.Jessica Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266827579211626173noreply@blogger.com
