An Analysis of Change and Continuity in Advertising Aimed at Women


The author (Doug Lantry) begins with stating the main thesis of the essay. His thesis sets the stage for the whole essay, and every example he gives reverts back to the main idea that "in order to find happiness a woman must be physically attracted to men."

Furthermore, the author proves his thesis by using evidence to support it. He takes three ads and breaks them down by stating the audience they are directed to, and how the advertising appeals to that audience; along with the message trying to be conveyed.

Lantry describes the untruthfulness of the ads and that their facts aren’t backed up by real evidence. By analyzing the essay in this way, he connects with readers in the sense that he recognizes the falsehood we’ve all seen in ads.
