Blog 27 #LikeAGirl Analysis Thesis and Outline

https://www.flickr.com/photos/nenyaki/2430528033
Thesis Statement: During the Superbowl 2015, Always has Lauren Greenfield commercial concerning their adolescent female empowering movement called #LikeAGirl which attempts to redefine the meaning of the phrase “like a girl” to her predominantly male audience at that time, but the campaign finds a niche in YouTube and other internet popular media sources further expanding its audience to include the females of all ages and different ethnicities. Always uses powerful imagery, shifts in tone from mild to intense, and simplicity in crafting its commercial to quite effectively convey its altruistic message.

 I critiqued Arrick Benson's, Kian Blackey's, and Dee Schwartz's thesis and outline blogs.

 Here is the link to the overview: https://docs.google.com/a/email.arizona.edu/document/d/1rc4Hy6ON_OjSN5InCznhVAfHCSqgzL8mFVAyhtLbC9Q/edit?usp=sharing

    I must say, your outline is looking excellent! My only glaring issue is your claim that using "unsightly" girls will enhance the argument. The problem with using "unsightly" girls is, as insensitive as this may sound, that they do not exactly fit today's stereotype of the "girly" girl--one typically imagines her as a lollipop-eating, butterfly-chasing, flower-picking, cat-fighting cute girl. By choosing normal and pretty girls, it molds more easily into our established paradigm of the "girly" girl and makes the message more relatable. However, you might just find a way to prove that "unsightly" girls can improve Always's argument more. Try to find out!

    Your outline is really well done and organized. You have a lot of diverse arguments to analyze, which is really important so you do not repeat yourself. Some of your arguments could be seen as opinions, like how they only used pretty girls. Not everyone views people the same way.
