In the article, How to decide on a career(even if you don't know what you want), it helps to prove that decision making can be hard, but it shouldn't be. Decsion making is never an easy thing; moreover, the thought of deciding on a career tends to give people a sense of fear, but it doesn't have to be. There are ways that one can make an easy decision on the type of career they would be most interesed in. There are thousands upon thousands of careers to chose from, but don't let the numbers scare you. Decide for you!

In this article by Annie Favreau she starts of by stating, "only five percent of people find a good career match on the first try." Contemplating on this percent, we are drove away by the thought of not being able to make it into that five percent; however, even though most people do not find that career their first go around it does not mean we should stop trying. Good oppurtunites come to those who wait.

The article also elaborates on the topic by proclaiming, "you don't have to be head over heals for a career in order to thrive." She is stating, firmly on the situation, that you do not need to give up career that would be best suited for you just because it isn't the most amazing thing to do This world, a wide range free to roam, a place in which one can acieve what they please and desire, is full of people who want but can't have. We cannot all have the perfect dream job, but we can still find a career where we will be happy to work instead of being run over by the stresses of the world.

Another strong point that Mrs. Favreau is making is clearly shown when we states,"your 99.99 percent guarenteed to find multiple careers choices where you can shine." Expressing her most optimistic side, she is declaring that you do not have to settle for that one option. Explore all your opions , because odds are you will find something that will trully spark an interest, bringing you to  a happier life in the long run.

I am faced with many choices for career oppurtunites ahead of me; however, I know that as long as I keep in mind that I can be happy at my job instead of stressed I will have an easier process of elimination.

Deciding on a career is only hard if you make it hard!

Current Connection 1.1

Marc F. Bernstein informs readers about the supreme court case that follows up on the Brown vs. Board of Education in his article "Should Race be a Factor in Assigning Students to Public Schools?"

According to Marc, "The specific issue before the court is whether the school districts can take account of students' races to ensure ethnic balance among the districts' schools. But the implications are far broader." "The U.S. Supreme Court decides two major cases this spring involving the use of race in assigning students to public schools within a district." This statement may seem surprising, but it is just asking for a balance, something all of us crave in our daily life. Such as a balance of good and evil, a balance of light and dark, the people that brought forth this case want a balance of ethnicities at the schools.

After talking to his son he learns one of the best skills in today societys is "getting along with people who are culturally different and not being judgmental of their customs." So passing this and making schools more diverse instead of having more whites here, and more asians here, would broaden students learning of different cultures instead of them being around people that are pretty much the same as them all day.

Bernstein further explains, "should schools be permitted to "balance" 3rd-grade classes in terms of boys and girls or students of different races or ethnicities? Can teachers "mix" small learning groups to include students from different backgrounds? Can preference be given to certain students with regard to entrance into elective programs when all other considerations are equal?" Something has to seperate students when grades, absences, and volunteer work are all equal. Could this be the deciding factor? Maybe it will, or maybe it will not, its all in the hands of the supreme court now.

Making schools more balanced could lessen the amount of discipline needed, or the amount of fights. It could raise the overall grade of the school. Many good things could come because of this, but also many bad things could come of this. We will just have to wait and see.

 

Stuck!

     Imagine being on a cruise and getting away from all the struggles of life and just relaxing.Suddenly, the captain's voice comes over the speakers, "Folks, the engine just caught fire and we are going to be stuck for a while. Sorry for the inconvenience." CNN staff reports this story in the recent article Carnival cruise ship to be towed after fire strands it in Gulf of Mexico and explain the situation that the cruise ship was in.
     The passengers were obviously in a pickle, and did not expect their vacation to become a "trip gone bad." The news reporters state in the article, "The Carnival Triumph was about 150 miles off the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, heading back to Galveston, Texas, when the fire broke out in an engine room Sunday morning, according to Carnival Cruise Lines. The ship's automatic fire extinguishing system kicked in and soon contained the blaze, and no injuries were reported, Carnival said Monday." Thankfully, nobody was hurt down in the engine room and the crew got to the fire and controlled the accident before anyone was seriously injured. The ship was still in deep water and only going about two miles an hour, so the ship was out of trouble.
     Brent Nutt spoke with his wife who was on the ship and says, "She said they had no power, no running water, and she said she hadn't been able to eat anything yet." That problem was soon solved and "guests have been supplied with food and refreshments throughout yesterday and this morning and the ship has supplies on board to last until the vessel returns to port," states Carnival. The electricity was soon turned back on with emergency generators, and people were actually able to use the toilets again! Man, that would be awful to be without a toilet.
     All of this trouble kind of has benefits. The cruise line said, "After being towed to Progreso, those aboard the Carnival Triumph will be flown back to the United States at no cost to them, the cruise line said. They will also get a full refund, credit that can be used toward a future trip and reimbursement for all expenses, except casino and gift shop purchases." Even though, the trip was not all that great, maybe the discounted one will go a lot smoother! If the passengers would have had to pay, I am sure there would have been many unhappy people.
     I do not know why, but this incident kind of reminds me of the Titanic. None of the Carnival passengers died, but them being stranded out in the ocean makes me remember the tragedy of theTitanic. I have never been on a cruise, but I do not intend to get on one after all these stories!
     In conclusion,  many passengers on this cruise had their vacation ruined, but everything worked out in the end.
    

oh where, oh where has our bacon gone!

http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/28/tech/web/apparently-this-matters-bacon/index.html

     Did you know that there was talk of a bacon shortage? I didn’t, but if I had, I’ll have to admit that I would have been among those who “collectively freaked out over the possibility that we might have to one day hit up the buffet and actually eat fresh fruit -- with all that "nutrition" and "flavor."”  Wait, was that sarcasm? Bellini, you cannot underestimate the flavor of bacon, because guess what: We put bacon in other food to make it taste better. It has power.  Bellini at least understands that, though.

“Without question, bacon is the most interesting meat in the world, and if it were capable of original thought, we wouldn't even be having an election this November in America. We would simply appoint bacon as our forever leader and live dutifully under its rule. "Today, for no apparent reason, I instructed U.S. troops to invade Calgary." "Hooray! Thanks, bacon!"”

     The point is, I read “Apparently This Matters: Bacon Shortage” and was scared at first. What would I become without bacon? When the National Pig Association put news out there that there would be a shortage of bacon in America, I believe we might have found the world’s new most destructive weapon, simply heartbreak.

     Seriously though, I’m not sure if it should warm my heart or worry me that people would completely drop the subject of “topless photos of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge” to talk about the loss of bacon. Bacon is amazing, we’ve established that, but I realize that everyone has their own opinions. So, that means there must be people out there who don’t like bacon, right? Well, apparently not as many as we might have expected! Because, obviously, Catherine’s throne was taken over by bacon. Again, is that sad or simply fascinating?

     Bellini goes on to tell us that this scare was just a “big misinterpretation of facts”. If the shortage was such a big deal, I’m sure it was also a big deal being a hoax. You can just imagine the relief around the world! I mean, you might as well claim it the cure for cancer!

     All in all, bacon has now done a tremendous amount of things for all of us. It’s tasty. It’s important. It invaded Calgary. It revealed the secret for the world’s new most destructive weapon, forget the bombs! And last but not least, it is the cure for cancer. I think it actually might be time to consider bacon for president. As I said before, you just cannot underestimate the power of bacon

Arsenic

It is a true that arsenic is a “Potent human pathogen that can set up children for health problems later in life” as Consumer Reports claims it is. What I find hard to believe is that it is rice and rice products so heavy that I can affect your well being later on in life. It has showed up at what they are saying is an alarming rate,  we are talking micrograms per serving. Consumer Reports is even telling people to cut back on how much rice they take in through strict diet changes, even when arsenic is found in almost everything on earth. Consumer Reports has even worked with scientists to decide what needs to be done to stop arsenic levels from being as high as they are. They suggest that the EPA should phase out the use of arsenic containing pesticides, the USDA and EPA should end the use of arsenic laden manure as fertilizer, and that the FDA should ban the feeding of arsenic- containing drugs and byproducts to animals. I believe it is all just a big hype, and should blow over soon.

On the other hand, the Arkansas Rice Federation responds to the article by Consumer reports saying “We understand that arsenic is an alarming word but consumers should know that arsenic is a naturally occurring element in our air, water, rocks, and soil. It has always been in our food supply and no pesticides containing arsenic are used in rice production.” 49% of all rice grown in the United States is grown in Arkansas, and the Arkansas Rice Federation is planning on keeping it that way. They say that the FDA has made it clear that no changes are recommended regarding rice consumption. Lastly they state that, They will be working with the FDA, food scientists, nutritionists, and manufacturers, as they look further into this issue.

Book Review

Jennifer L. Weber's Summer's Bloodiest Days is intreguing, I thoughly enjoyed the Civil War facts that I learned in this book.
I can make connections though the entire book. One example of a connection is this book deals with the Civil War, like another book I read called The Red Badge of Courage. I could also make a connection to the movie American Outlaws. Which has some scenes from the Civil War in the beginning of the movie.
The characters in this book are of different varieties of hero's. Like Some people would say that Robert E. Lee was a hero, but others would say he was a villan.But I think that Robert E. Lee is one of my favorite characters mentioned in this book.So the characters in this book are from one extreme to the other. Another one of my favorite charcters in the book is Genneral Stonewall Jackson. I liked him becuase he was a fearless leader for the Confederate Army.
The setting of this book is to take place in in the 1800's in our quarreling country, all the way from the far south to the far north this book covers it all. This is a time that is entreaging to me but some people would find it boring.
I would reccomend this book to anybody that enjoys learning about this event, and millitary facts
of the Civil War.

Current Connection

Kwala Mandel, a writer for Yahoo! News, states in her article, "Heckler interrupts Romney rally in Virginia," that someone interrupted the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, to encourage action about the environment when Romney was speaking at a rally.

In the article, Kwala Mandel states, "Mitt Romney was interrupted at a rally Thursday in Virginia Beach, Va. A rowdy audience member took advantage of a pause during the Republican presidential nominee's speech and shouted 'climate change caused Sandy!'" The heckler interrupted Romney to try to encourage an emotional reaction from the crowd, and, at that, he was successful. He blamed the recent storm, Sandy, on climate change and, by extension, the U.S. government and people (at least in the crowds eyes).

Kwala Mandel also states, "He then flashed a sign that read 'End Climate Silence.' While Romney seemed to take the heckler in his stride, the crowd (and security) reacted much more strongly." The man's "End Climate Silence" sign was meant to encourage people to start talking about climate change, because climate change really has not been a big topic in this election, though it really probably should be. Romney did not seem to be bothered by the heckler, but the crowd on the other hand, was not pleased.

The article then states, "The man was booed and his sign was pulled away from him. As the heckler was led out of the event, the booing was layered with chants of 'U-S-A!'" The crowd did not react positively to the heckler's seemingly accusatory declaration about Sandy. They probably felt that he was blaming the U.S for the storm, and they felt that they were defending their country (and favorite presidential nominee) from the words of the heckler, an insulting nuisance.

This is yet another article that reminds me of events in the Middle East. The first time I watched the video, the way the crowd started chanting "U.S.A." and booing reminded me of videos I have seen of radicals in the Middle East chanting "Down with U.S.A" and booing. I understand why the crowd was chanting now, but the first time I saw the video, it really took me by surprise.

The heckler may have meant well with his message, but if he wanted a positive reaction (I don't think he did), then he was unwise to go to a presidential rally at this point in the race. Though he was booed out of the rally, he was successful in his mission to get people talking to some extent, as there are over 15,000 comments on the article.

cc#5

In a recent article by Olivier Knox in the Yahoo! News entitled "U.S. ambassador killed after chaotic, hours-long siege," Knox informs readers of the recent events in the Middle East, a dangerous place.

Unfortunately, there were attacks on various U.S. embassies throughout the Middle East, specifically, Libya. The attacks were supposedly ignited by a film on the Internet made by an American. If that is the case, then people were murdered over a video on the Internet, which is absolutely ridiculous.

The article states: "American officials painted a harrowing picture late Wednesday of the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that left the widely respected diplomat and three others dead." It is a shame that four innocent people were murdered for no real reason. I did not realize that people could get so angry over some stupid video on the Internet.

I am reminded of the infamous attack on the Twin Towers by extremists back in 2001. The attacks also happened to occur on the 11th anniversary of that attack. Both of these attacks were carried out by Muslim extremists.

Chris Stevens and the other 3 Americans were good, innocent people that committed no crime and were unjustly killed. I can only hope that President Obama makes good on his promise to bring these murderers to justice.

Current Connection "It's all in the rings"

In Veronique Greenwood's aritcle "Why Bacteria, But Not Humans, Can Live on Caffeine: It's all in the rings," she informs us on the reasons why this newly found bacterium can live on caffeine alone but we can not.
She states that "we, and the caffeine-loving bacterim, need nutrients like vitamins and minerals as well. But those are for use in biological reactions rather than as an energy source." This means that the bacteria do not need the energy that we need but they need the same nutrients for reactions that occur naturally inside of them. Since the caffeine has those nutrients they can still have those reactions occur. But we need the nutrients for energy and there is simply not enough in caffeine to use it alone.
We "humans are fairly limited in terms of what the body can digest," "alot of the molecules we eat, we don't use." So yes caffeine would be a substainable diet if it had the things in it that our complicated bodies could digest to use in our everyday lifes.
The reason we can not digest this molecule is because "we don't have the gear to digest derivatives further." We can only take away the CH3 in caffeine. leaving the few parts the we pee out if we can connect an oxygen to the molecule thats left.
I see something about coffee every other day because Mrs. Gilmore's classroom is focused around a cafe setting, and what do they serve at cafes? Coffee, that is it, and what does coffee have in it? Cafeine. It contains alot of cafeine unless you get that nasty decafe coffee.
Do you live off cafeine? If so you might want to rethink the way you live and get some of the foods and drinks your body can digest and use to help you stay healthy.

Current Connection "Government report on secret flying saucer program..."

On FoxNews.com they have an article named "Government report on secret flying saucer program made aviable."  The purpose of them writing this article is to inform the readers about the "flying saucer" the government has been hiding from us.  They tell us about the aircraft itself, the test they have done, and the products used in making it work.
"The disk-shaped craft --...-- was designed to reach top speed of Mach 4 and reach a ceiling of more than 100,000 feet, according to the lengthy document, which is titled "Project 1794, Final Developement Summary Report" and dated 1956." This is telling about the expectations of this craft and what it should be able to withstand.
"Six Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbo-jets --1,900 pounds of thrust, 22 inch overall diameter, 525 pound weight each -- are mounted radially in the wind, exhausting inwards; and used as gas generators to drive a pair of contra-rotating centrifigual impellers by means of radial inflow turbine." These engines should beable to lift this product to the outstanding height it is supposed to reach. These jets were a feat for the time period this was supposed to be build in.
During a test it "simply did not work as hoped." Having this much power caused it to "wobble uncontrollably as it gained altitude." Which appear to be a danger to the pilot and anyone down below, the innocent bystanders.
This article sparked my interest becuase I have always been interested in places like Area 51, and the conspiracry theory about aliens. So I think it is pretty cool they were trying to build a "UFO."
This shows how easy it is for the government to hide things from us. So do you think it was wrong or right for them to hide this from the public?

Book Review

How would you like to be a teenage living a normal life except for the fact that you were testing on as a baby, and now you have electric powers? In Richard Paul Evan's Micheal Vey: Prisoner of Cell 25 thats just what Micheal and a few otheres are expeirencing.
The power of friendship is a recurring theme seen throughout the story from an array of perspectives. One of the most important is the friendship that emerges between Micheal, Taylor, and Ostin. They each need this friendship more then ever because Ostin, is the geeky kid that everyone picks on and his only friend seems to be Micheal. Then it comes to him, he is so busy trying not to draw attention to himself that he also finds it hard to bring in new friendships until taylor sees him use his powers and he becomes the first person she told about her powers.
Richard's writing style keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what is going to happen next the entire book. I am not much of a reader but I did not want to put this book down. He keeps the action going that way it is hard to put this amazing book down.
The setting for this book is mainly Meridan High School. To everyone there Micheal is just a kid with tourrettes syndrome that nobody wants to hangout with. He is what we would call a "loner" aside from his one friend, Ostin.
This book reminds me of every other super hero book out there because it is based on the same basic things. Those basic things are; a person  trying to hide their abilities, someone sees him and has like abilities, then there is the bad guy that is always trying to capture or sometimes kill him. But this book has a twist because Micheal's and Ostin's bullies pair up and try to help them defeat the bad guy, The Elgin.
I would reccomend this book to anyone that loves books about the supernatural, teenage life, or just wants a good read. Not only is this book fantastice but this is just the beginning of an amazing series.

current connection 2

There is one particular article pieced together by many people that caught my eye this week in the Batesville Daily Guard. This article informs the readers about how there are many "perverts" in the world that could be closer than we think to their children.
David Shilketus, the volleyball coach at southside highschool, was accused of sending a picture of his genitalia to one of his 17 year old players. Yes, she participated in the "sexting" but she was not charged with any crimes seeing that she is underage.
What is this world coming too? Was she the only one? These are just a few questions many people ask about this situation. This is just like a situation that we had here at BHS last year, expect here the office worker and the kids actually had sexual intercourse. Do not get me wrong, what this coach did was not only legally wrong, but morally wrong.
As I read this article I could not help but think why would someone over age risk their job and there dignity for just one picture. He should of known better and I think he should be put in jail. A coaches and a teachers duty is to protect and eduactae the kids and i do not think he was doing his job correct.
He was supposed to be a role model to these kids. What kind of role model is this? We need to watch the people our kids are around every day cause perverts could be close to home.
     

As all of the Batesville residents know Friday night a horrendous chain of storms blew threw, tearing up most of Batesville. The author's main purpose of writing the article "Storms damage airport" was to inform the people of the dangers that can lurk in the storms. "It had damages similar to a war zone" said Rober Griffin. The storm blew threw an airplane hanger at the BatesvilleRegional Aiport in Southisde, Batesville destroying two airplanes and an old car. This storm destroyed everything in its path as well as knocking out  seventy one thousand people's electricity. The winds got up to eighty miles per hour. I know how it felt losing power in a storm like this because I was one of the seventy one thousand people that did. To become a more active participant in my learning I could help inform people about the dangers of storms and help them be prepared.

Travis's Reading Bucket List

1. Michael Vey: Prisoner of Cell 25- By Richard Paul Evans: The third or fourth day of Mrs. Gillmore's class she got up and gave a quick summary of this book and it sounded like a very, very good book. I know they say never judge a book by its cover but I usually do and this cover made the book look interesting. I also enjoy reads where the main character(s) around my age, it makes it where I can connect and get involved in the book a lot easier.
2. Old Glory Stories- By Cole C. Kingseed: Mrs. Gillmore said we could look around to find a book to checkout and read well I just looked around and read the back of some books and this one just stood out to me, so I put it on my bucket list. Anything about the wars interest me. I enjoy reading them because many of my family members were in the army and I can make real life connections so I am looking forward to reading this book.
3. Heat- By: Mike Lupica: Ever since I was a little kid my parents encouraged me to play sports, my favorite was baseball. I have played ever since I was 5 years old. So any book that involves the sport sparks my very interest. I also started reading this book a few years ago but I could not get into it so i put it down, but I look forward to trying again and hopefully finishing it.
4. The Hobbit- By J.R.R Tolhein: I have heard many good things about this book and considered reading it then my English teacher showed us the book and talked a little bit about it and I was hooked right away. I love fiction books because there are no limitations on what they can right about.
5. Last Shot- By John Feinstein: One of my very good friends read this book and said it was an amazing book. Sports has always been very close to me so anything about sports I enjoy. But the only sport I dislike is basketball and this book is about that very one, but because of the wonderful things I have heard I am going to try and give it a shot.
6. Lord of the Flies- By William Golding: In our English class we saw the top 100 books for teenagers and this book was on there. It Sounded very mysterious and creative and being the curious person I am, I decided to try and figure out what all this book is about by reading it. Maybe it will happen and maybe not. I have also heard good things about the author and I hope he prevailed in writing this book.
7. Alligator Bayou- By Donna Jo Napoli: I am a very outdoorsy person and I love alligators and swamp creatures. They seem very interesting to me just because the structure and age. I am not really sure what this book is about besides alligators but I am very interested in finding out.
8. Rachel Papers- By Martin Amis: Since I needed more books for my bucket list I decided to look up books online that I had heard about before. This was on that list and I remembered one of my old teachers saying it was an amazing book with great content so I read the book review on it and looked up the author. The author is a well known author with some great books that never disappoints. So I am hoping that this is a great book. The fact that no one in my school has the book makes me wonder more about it and makes me want to read it more.
9. Paper Towns- By John Green: This sounded like a very, very good book so I have been trying to find it since Mrs. Gillmore showed us the top reads for teens. But again no one in my school has it which is very weird. This author is very respected and I have read a couple of his books and I think this is the next one I need to read by him.
10. Comes the Blind Fury- By John Saul: I looked up a reading list for teens online to try and get some good ideas for my bucket list and I came across this very intriguing title. It is about a blind child who falls off a cliff and comes back and haunts the town. I have always loved ghost stories and I am hoping this is one of the ones that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Remembering 9/11

In the building of the new WTC(World Trade Center) they wanted to show that the USA is a free country no matter what anyone does to try and stop that. This remarkable building is going to be built to a whopping 1776 feet tall. Does this number look familiar? Well it should because that is the year that America gained its freedom. This tower is not only to get back a World Trade Center, or even to show that we will retaliate, but also to show our patriotism and also show respect for the deceased. We are showing that they can do anything in their power but nothing is going to make America fall, we will still retaliate and get back on our feet. It might take 12 days or even 12 years, like this did, but we will fight again.

pity?

A S.S soldier, who killed innocent Jewish families by orders of his commander, asks a Jew for pity. But is he truly sorry? In my opinion, he is. In The Sunflower, Simon (the Jew) says, "I saw he was torturing himself. He was determined to gloss over nothing." If the soldier wasn't regretting all that he did, he wouldn't have called the Jew to his chamber in the first place, much less recall what made him guilty. As the text said, he "tortured" himself repeating his past. If he's strong enough to admit that what he did was wrong, he should have pity. In the confession, the soldier says, "Believe me, I would be ready to suffer worse and longer pains if by that means I could bring back the dead, at Dnepropetrovsk." He is not only willing to suffer for the Jews he killed but he would suffer more and longer just to bring those Jews back. He regrets all he did and should be able to die knowing he was at least pitied.

Everyone Should be Forgiven!

     Do you think a mother, suffering from depression, should be forgiven for drowning her kids for the fear of them being possessed? Yes or no? If you were asking me this question then i would say yes she should be forgiven. You may or may not believe in the devil but this woman did just as the real life woman that drowned her kids for the same reason. These two ladies suffered from depression which made them believe that the devil could turn into a "soul" or "spirit" and take over peoples' bodies. And since people think that the devil causes disease and sickness that made them think the devil was already in their live. So from fear of the devil taking over their kids life they cut their life short that way they did  not have to go through the hardship and depression that they went through.

the old man and the apples

There was an apple tre named Ted.
It grew luch apples every year.
But its owner named Jed
Was selfish and kept them for himself

The next harvest a young boy that wasn't fed
Stopped by and tried to pick the apples like a wolf taking a mom's cub
The old man scolded him then said
You can have half the apples for food
The rest you sell to get you some shoes.

Descriptive paragraph

          Even though the Melba was closed only fifty years after its opening, it still came out as the cheapest, and oldest movie theatre around.  If you go to this building that is around seventy years old the mustiness overwhelms everything else.  But as you slowlyu walk farther and farther into the dimly lit lobby you start to smell the sweet, freshly melted butter that goes on the popcorn.  Fighting for a place in line, the people are like a wild pack of coyotes fighting for their food.  As you slowly reach into the large popcorn bucket you can feel the butter, as it soaks into your fingers.  If you're quiet and listening you can hear the film rolling high above your head.  As the movie goes on you feel your knee is wet, so you pick up your cup and hurridly put it back down after your finger tips touch the cold condensation dripping off of your cup.  Later on in the movie you smell something very strong, it is hot in the movie, and you realize it is everybody's body odor.  You get up to leave because the movie is over but then you are bombarded by people that are also trying to get through the double doors.

Advertisement Analysis

     "Professional Paris" make up ads, the first to be untouched.  The aim of "Professional Paris's" ad is to show that with their make up you do not have to re-edit your pictures.  They use many tones to express the importance of buying their products.
     They use a very beautiful girl to draw in, and try to show that they can be beautiful when using their make up.  Trying to be better looking, the girl scrunched up her hair.  This makes her better looking, especially to guys, because guys love when a girl is confident in their looks.  In the ad it says "your looking at the first unretouched make up ad."  It is trying to show that with their product you do not have to edit your photos.  Dreaming of never having to edit their photos, "Professional Paris" made every teenage girls dream come true.
     The ad has many tones that they use to help show their purpose and help sell their product.  One big tone is hapiness.  This helps show the purpose and helps sell their product because nobody wants to buy a product that makes people upset. Another very important tone for the ad is confidence.  This ad shows confidence through many ways.  One way is the girl is showing confidence by letting them put her in the ad with no retouching.
     People that design advertisements have to ad very many tones to help sell their product.  They also use catchy slogans.  In my ad the two main confidents were confidence and hapiness.  So next time you go to buy a product actually analyze their ads.
