Ads

Starting this week, we're going to start talking about advertisements.  So my question for you this week is, how much of a role does advertising play in your life?  How often do you make purchasing decisions based on ads you see, or do you like to think you are immune to them, even if you enjoy some of the campaigns?  As usual, 250 word post up by Thursday night (10/20) and 100 word response up by Sunday night (10/23).

Persepolis (The Movie)

Last week I asked you guys for your thoughts on the book, this week I'll ask for your thoughts on the movie.  Again, nothing rigidly academic here, did you like it, hate it, not feel much towards it?  How did it compare to the book for you?  As usual, 250 word post up by Thursday night (10/13) and 100 word response up by Sunday night (10/16).

Persepolis

I'm trying to keep the discussion in class a bit more academic so I'm giving you this space here to just give your general thoughts on the book.  Did you love it/hate it/were indifferent to it, etc.? Any scenes or characters you particularly enjoyed?  This does not have to be an academic discussion here but who knows, you may get a great topic idea out of it.  As usual, 250 word post up by Thursday night (10/06) and 100 word response up by Sunday night (10/09).
