Response to Hype

   Advertisement is everywhere we go and it is everywhere the eye can see. In this passage "Hype"  by Kalle Lasn  it speaks on how the number of ads is getting out of control and that corporate America is putting ads on anything that is visual to the human eye. I agree with the author on the point that ads are getting out of hand because not only are ads on TV but there in places that you usually wouldn't expect to see advertisement.

  The number of ads that is seen in north America alone is 12,003,200,000 and that is north america alone.That is monstrous number of ads in america by itself. my own personal experience showes me that this is true. as i get up and get ready for school when i get on the bus they have ads on and outside the bus as for trains they have the same thing. Time square has ads on every block and one of my favorites is that building with coca cola ad where it looks like construction workers are inside the building fixing a giant coca cola bottle. When you watch TV the commercial breaks seem longer then the TV episode your watching and the amount of money companies pay the NFL to get there commercial to air during the super bowl because of all the viewers tuning in.

  And again ads are getting out of hand when i go to the ATM machine to get money i see mr. clean ads on the machine screen gas pumps with fritos ads on the novels. Advertisement has evolved from TV and billboards now they have little screens in grocery stores that show ads in the store while you shop. Again with another personal experience, we see ads everyday from when we leave the house untill we get in, I walk past a seven eleven and they have high definition screens displaying ads about the store and they have a narrator talking about the ads persuading people to come in the store and buy what the ad is displaying. 

  In conclusion  I have written an eassy about this passage it is about ads and how they are everywhere we go and that the number of ads are growing rapidly  I feel that ads should only be limited to Tv screens and on billboards companies are spending too much money on ads to get people to buy there product.


   

Summary of Allegory Of The Cave

Today I am writing a summary about the passage Allegory of the cave.The story is about a man telling a story about human beings being chained to their necks in a cave with their backs toward the opening of the cave. The people in the cave had the mind set of being locked in darkness is the way of life all they were able to see was shadows of living objects and things moving outside the cave. One man gets free and leaves the cave he know realizes that being chained in the cave was not the way of life he witnesses many things for the first time. He even realizes that the sun is what gives us energy. This man witnesses the beautiful world and realizes that the cave is not the way of life, so he decides to return back to the cave to get the other men in the cave but they refuse to leave the cave. They feel that this is what is life for them and they preferred to stay in the dark cave.
