In the reading it talked about the typical high school girl and how much they are hated. What they look like and even how they acted. How they have the typical boyfriend, usually a dumb jock. How there are different types of teen movies. You have the one were the girl gets the guy, where the popular girl figures something out (like in the movie clueless), and the girl gets revenge. Most of the girls portayed in teen movies are motherless. Either the mother has died or has ran away. But in the movie Easy A it is not like your typical teen movies. It is narrated and it has nothing to do with a girl trying to attract the attention of the most popular guy. It is mainly about how one lie can go like a wild fire and that sooner or later you with either start acting like the lie or face the humilation and tell the truth.

Easy A starts off as a typical teen movie. It starts with a girl who nobody really nows of  and her friend that is only referred to as a body part. In most typical teen movies the outcast girls does everything possible to get noticed but in Easy A she was ok with not being the center of attention. She only got noticed after a conversation with her friend was over heard by someone else. Easy A differs from the normal teen movies because it doesn't follow the same genre. It is narrated by the main character and the movie doesn' have a football start that the girl is after. The whole movie is about peoples actions not whether or not the girl gets the guy.

Thesis Statement

Children's commercials are out their to get there products into the hands of children. In order to accomplish that you need to have their complete attention. That task in not an easy one to take on. The commmercial needs to be bright, colorful and full of energy. By the end of that commercial you want that child to have an overwhelming sensation to either consume the product or purchase the product.

Product Analysis

I took the pepsi can and how the logo has changed over the years. The first pepsi can came out in the 1898. There has been eleven different logo's from pepsi ranging from 1898 to now days. The logo started of pretty plain with a white can and had red lettering. Over the next century the can has stayed the same but the lettering has gotten bolder and more clearer. In the fifties is when they went from plain red to adding blue and white. They also went from putting pepsi cola to just pepsi. From the sixties to current they only started changing the logo slightly.

Commercials

From the seventies to the ninties commercials were shown during certain times of the day. If you wanted to get women who stay at home you played their commercials during daytime TV. If you wanted the working women they were shown during the evening TV. Men commercials were ran during sporting events. If you viewed commercials back then they were portrayed very different then they are today. Commercials have changed alot since the last era. Now days daytime commercials are geared toward the elderly. Very few women are at home during the day, there are more working families then their are stay at home moms. Commercials have also started combining men at women in there advertising. They still have certain products that are only for women or only for men but they almost make fun of the way commercials were back then.

Kid Kustomers

When it comes to advertising that is geared to children the product should be age appropriate. Toy, cerel, movie, ect. that are kid friendly should have major advertising. How else are they suppose to get their products purchased. Advertising has come along way since the ninties  because children back then related more to Joe Camel and Budweiser when asked. So children advertising should be regulated to a point, they need to keep adult products separate from childrens products.
