"Stay Sweet As You Are" 10/20/15

The paper fits the criteria for an analysis paper by having a topic, AKA how advertisements have been pushing women to think the ultimate goal is to get married, and to do that, you have to be beautiful, clean, have clean teeth, etc. The author makes the audience care by showing how women are being unfairly treated, and how men aren't held to the same standards as them. Lantry expresses his stance, that women are objectified in ads and gives support. He considers the larger context by describing when the ads were created (20's, 30's, and 50's) and who the target audience was (women and teenage girls). The author considered the design and added the actual ads to his analysis, which helped his overall thesis, and helped the reader understand visually. Lantry showed connections with the words and the pictures on the ads, something that I would not have realized when reading it, such as how Resinol Soap showed that the dream for women was to get married to a man. Overall, the author does meet the criteria for an analysis paper and showed me some "subliminal" parts of ads I didn't see or understand until now, and how it really objectifies women.
