2. I really don't think that fast-food places should be the blame for the obesity in the U.S because you really don't to eat it. For example: like drugs, they exist, but you really have to use the drugs at all. In other words, you have a choice, in life there are always choices. You can choose to eat fast-food if you want to, but the results are if you eat too much, you will become unhealthy and obese, depending on what restaurant you go to.

3. I really don't like to eat a lot anyways because I do sometimes worry about my weight and health. But some days when I get super hungry, I don't care what I eat, which can be a problem for my body. Watching Supersize Me made my stomach hurt, I didn't eat McDonald's for two days!

4. In Supersize Me I think the message is being sent that fast-food restaurants like McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Taco Bell, White Castle, are not good for you and your health. Supersize Me is about this man who went to McDonald's everyday for a month, he ordered his food supersized. When he first started he was healthy. By the middle toward the end of the month he was constantly going to the doctor. The doctors told him that he was inbad shape and that he could die eventually if he continued to be unhealthy and overweight. The Omnivore's Dilemma is a little different, it talks about world hunger {different countries} and the percentages of people who are hungry.

Some of the negative effects of the Feed is it malfunctions in the brain. Calista's Feed is malfunctioning and she is falling apart the technicians can't fix the problem with her Feed. If there were more advanced technology, there would be more technical problems because people would become more dependant on it. They wouldn't want to do things on their own. Another negative effect of the Feed is the fact that they don't want to use trees for clean air anymore; they feel they have no use for trees because of the air factory. Violet was telling her dad that trees are really important. Her dad shrugged his shoulders saying that everyone needs air. Violet pointed out that trees give air. {pg. 125}.

The characters are young {teenagers} they call each other by nicked names like Unit etc. They like to hang out like typical teenagers. They chat with each other by using the feed. Their world is a like ours because the feed does a lot if advertising. the Feed is like the internet only in your brain. Their world is a little different from ours, the way they communicate with the Feed, they use their minds to communicate. In our world we use telephones, cell-phone and/or texting, and having a verbal conversation. What we have in common is we use verbal conversation, the language in the Feed is a little different not really, and in our world teenagers hang out, the same in the Feed.

Army family strong

Army people are family members whether it's, a mom, dad, brother, sister, aunt, uncle and even your child. The commercial is saying in order be tough you have to be in the army. A mother and children get affected because they don't know if the dad/husband will come home. what the commercial doesn't tell you is whether or not the soldiers actually come home or not, what if they're dead? or what if the soldier comes home to their wife and children with a missing leg, or comes home with mental issues that they can't handle? It does show a little bit how their children are affected. Or what if the mom is the one to the army? imagine how her children would really feel. It is targeted to American troops, especially american men because it only show american soldiers and their families. I think it also reaches out to people who had one of their family members go out to war, and how they would get afraid know that mom or dad or aunt etc could get killed. It is also saying that if you care for your country you should fight for it. I see that when a family member goes to war everyone else gets affected by it especially children. I heard words like Families are strong, Army Families are Army strong.

When I was watching the Dove comercial, they're telling you that she starts out looking like a regular person and people think that when you shouldn't look that way. You have to look more outgoing. When I was watching the Dove comercial, they're trying to say that this is how your face is suppose to look in order to be pretty. In reality people use make up, nobody is born that perfect, they use artificial make up, fixing her hair, using certain creams to get rid of pimples. It was all computer because it took alot more than just the soap to make her face that perfect. People think that you are soppose to look beautiful for the world, then everyone will look up to you as a model.

Icecream

Lyndon Johnson was saying if you vote for, Goldwater as President, you would be killed by atomic bombs filled with radioactive waste and chemicals, people made a Nucleur Test Band Treaty, but, Goldwater voted against it, and he still wanted to test more radioactive bombs, and it makes me feel like he doesn't care about the innocent people, or about the country, and people should be afraid of someone like that. I think that the Nucleur Test Treaty was a good idea.

The image I see mostly in this commercial is girl eating icecream, she's just looking normal sitting outside, she looks about 6 or 7 years old, she could be waiting for her parents. She doesn't know that her life could be in danger. It makes me feel as if no one is telling her what's happening and what could happen to her. Lyndon Johnson is also pretty much saying that people who are old enough to vote, shouldn't be at home, and that thier vote for Lyndon Johnson might make a difference. Her voice was very soft spoken.
