Journal Entry

                    The ad I have chosen Is for the Lexus 330 GS. In the ad Lexus is trying to sell the car by showing the option of climate control, as an option that comes with the vehicle. The ad shows a white woman, in a white beater that has a v-cut in it. A seat belt runs across her chest to show two different climates. The ad shows one breast on the left side of the woman that is nipping, and the other side is not. Through this Lexus is showing one side being warmer than the other, and as a way to sell the vehicle.    
                     This ad objectifies the female figure by actually showing one breast nipping as if the female is cold on one side and not the other. A female probably does not find comfort in a ad using a woman's chest as a way to advertise a car and the option of climate control.
                      The intended audience for this ad could be males in the age range of 19 to 40 years of age. Within that age range, it would most likely be from the upper middle class to upper class people as the Lexus 330 GS has a base price of $40,000 not your typical vehicle for the average working person. This ad targets this audience, because most men like higher end cars, and find a ad showing a woman's chest to be appealing. The breast that is nipping is also a contributing factor as it would work to draw attention to the eye and cause some people to take more interest in the ad in front of them. The ad objectifies women and could be shown in a different manner to show climate to promote sells of a vehicle.

Writerly biography

                               My name is Josh Ziemann and I graduated from Cameron R-1 Class Of 2003. While attending High School I also graduated from Art Instruction School. After graduating I wasn't certain on what I wanted to do in the career field. I am now after 7 years of wondering what would suit me best, going to pursue a degree as A Assistant Physical Therapist. I enjoy helping others who are disabled or in need of help. Two of my younger brothers were born with Spinabifida so I understand what people go through, and have learned how to appreciate life and others.

                             I was born June 29, 1984 in Harrisonville, Mo. I lived in Grandview, Mo, which is where I went to elementary school. After my 6th grade year my family and I moved to a small town by the name of Weatherby, Mo were I was home schooled for my seventh grade year. The following year I then was enrolled into Maysville R-1 we’re I completed my 8th grade year. After that year my family decided it was time to move again, which we relocated to Cameron, Mo, were I finished my high school years. Besides basics of were I lived a couple of my passions are my car, and making others smile and laugh.

                                  As a reader and writer, in the past I really didn't enjoy. After taking English 100 last semester it opened up my views and opinions, about reading and writing. Reading I have grown to appreciate the material I'm reading. Learning how to comprehend the reading and understand what the writer and or writers are trying to express. I fill I have grown as a writer, in the beginning I struggled a little, but throughout the semester I grew as a writer. I'm able to express myself better now through my writing it may not be the best, but I put my heart into it now. If not for taking English 100 I don't think I would have viewed reading and writing the same as I do now. I can now sit down read a essay understand it, and write a essay about it without really struggling. In writing I have a weakness of sentence structure, which is developing and look to do nothing but improve on this semester. I'm excited to be in English 104 and be involved, and improve my reading and writing throughout this semester.
