A mirror image

     In this painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec he is very detailed as he speaks to little girls threw his details on his painting. In this particular painting it seems as if the girl on the left is a mirror image of what the girl on the right wants to be. In this painting there are two girls, the one on the left is wearing a pink gown, and looks as if she is sad. As for the girl on the right she has a white blouse with a red skirt and her hair looks clean and brushed. In the background the sky is dark which again is letting you know how sad the girl is. Next to the girl on the right in the sand seems to be a mirror and perhaps a bar of soap.

     What I am grasping from the details in this picture is that the girl on the left is her, and that she wants to look like that. She wishes she could have better clothes and even look prettier. The mirror is symbolizing how she wishes she could look and the soap is symbolizing how she wants to be more clean and nice looking. Because of this she may have low self-esteem, due to how she wishes she looked. In this painting it touches on how little girls may not be comfortable in their own skin and how they want to look prettier, and Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec did an outstanding job of informing people of how little girls feel around the world.

Isolating children from TV

Yes I believe that if all the TV’s where unplugged in America children would be healthier, more independent and better educated. Kids would be better educated because instead of watching TV they would go outside play basketball, hide and seek or even race. If they do that then they will be in shape and even loose a little weight. In a sense it would make kids more independent because they wouldn’t look at TV commercials and saying that they want to be just like a particular artist. They would be better educated because they wouldn’t be steered the wrong way by seeing inappropriate things on TV.

I also don’t agree because if all TV’s were off what would kids watch? On TV there are still educational shows and cartoons for kids. At the end of the day kids still need to be kids and watch kid shows. On TV there are educational shows that are good for a kid that tells then about colors and shapes. There are good shows on television that kids can benefit from wither parents believe it or not. If parents truly don’t want their kids to watch television then they should block those channels so there kids won’t watch the inappropriate shows. As long as your kids know right from wrong and they are well disciplined, and parents block channels then that’s all that they can do, if they want their kids to somewhat have a normal kid life. Keeping kids isolated from TV wouldn’t make their relationship better with their parents; it would make them not only isolated from TV but from their parents as well.

Power Of Advertising

 

     Advertising is everywhere; we see it when we are on the streets, they are on billboards, or even a bus. Advertising is what makes people want to buy the things that they are trying to sell on TV. When you see advertising you usually see women, this is because women are what sell the product or make the commercial interesting for men. Men are drawn to ads and commercials with women in it and they may want to buy there girl a certain bra because of how nice it looked in a girl in a commercial. Advertising persuades young people all the way to adults.

     To me some advertising is good and some is bad. Advertising I feel can be misled in a lot of ways now a days. There was an ad about going back to school that I saw, but the ad had a man and a woman all on each other in a car with papers on the seat of the car. Now that ad had nothing to do with going back to school. As far as commercials they can also be misleading, there can be a commercial that comes on and you will be thinking that it is talking about one thing and next thing you know it’s about something else. Advertising wants you to see a commercial to be deceiving to the eyes, because at the end of the day that is part of what makes an ad or a commercial interesting and gets you to think.
