Finish reading and writing

Your upcoming timed essay will ask you to choose EITHER the Kimmel article or the Kilbourne article and apply the ideas from that article to an image that I have chosen, and which you won’t see until the essay period begins.

In order to practice this skill, this post asks you to write one paragraph for EACH article, in order to see how it feels to apply those concepts and get some feedback on your ideas.

Review the posts in this week’s Discussion 1. Pick two advertisements from Discussion 1, posted either by you or by classmates, one that you can relate to Kimmel’s article and one that you can relate to Kilbourne.

Include links to both images/videos, and then write a paragraph for each:

  1. How can you use the ideas in Kilbourne’s article to understand the image of the female body?
  2. How can you use the ideas in the Kimmel article to understand the image of the male body?

Once you have entered your own answer, respond to another’s post with another healthy paragraph. Validate what you find interesting about what they say, then add something to their critique. What can you say more about? What do you have a different opinion on? Remember to be respectful.
