Rationale WT

The past three or four classes have been about how media tries on making us think a certain way by the use of a lot of different literary devices as word choice for example. The tasks consists in writing a short story, blog, speech, opinion column, about this topic, either informing about it, or simply talking about it in no more than a thousand words.

I chose to do a blog, and by the use of informal language ( I can tell you my friends), I tried on making it the funnier as it could be (using modern internet jokes like "A wild Axe Ad came out the grass" *insert Pokemon music*) , so it's not very complicated for the reader to understand but also quite serious to not only get a laugh off the reader but an opinion. Because of this, the text's audience is aimed for young people who are most likely to be influenced by all the blog's talking about and will, overall understand the humor and the ironies.

About the text, it can be resumed in only one sentence:  The media and information is manipulated and WE are believing their story. The main topic though, it's about the word choice and "image" choice, which is how the Ad companies use certain words and images to influence our way of thinking in the most dissimulated way possible.
