I believe that BBBS is one of the most important programs out there for children today. They provide an amazing outlet for children who are less fortunate, or are just having a hard time. This issue can be of importance to everyone because the more children that get involved with this program and are impacted positively, the less people will have to deal with obnoxious teenagers in the future. The sources I used in my paper were both from BBBS websites.

Upon further research of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, I found some things that definitely influenced my opinion of the program itself. As I was reading through personal blogs, websites, articles, and watching videos about BBBS, I found that so many more people than I could have imagined have been helping or have been helped by this program! It really is a true blessing to so many people. This organization is definitely my favorite, and I'm happy to have learned that so many people

Big Brothers Big Sisters has been helping children since 1904. They provide at-risk children with a positive role model to be there for them, and help them through anything they need. In a 1994-1995 study, BBBS compared 950 children in the program to 950 children who were not in the program. These children in the program were 45% less likely to begin using illegal drugs, 27% less likey to begin using alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class, and 33% less likely to hit someone. I'd say those are some pretty incredible results! I had the chance to be a "High School Big", and by the time I was going to graduate, the child was doing better academically and socially. I witnessed this change myself, and I have to say, it's pretty amazing!

Red Lobster is my all-time favorite restaurant. Founded back in 1968, this wonderful restaurant has provided quality food and service to customers of all ages. The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delectable. If you're ever in the Prescott area, and are craving seafood with a smile, this is the place to be!

The photo uses persuasion to make men think that having intercourse with a woman isn’t as good as this car, or that thinking of the car during intercourse, will make it better. The words in the photo “The Ultimate Attraction”, leads us to believe that the attraction from the man to the woman is only based on the car.

            Comparison is another main strategy in this advertisement. The most obvious form of comparison used in this photo is the comparison between the woman and the photo of the car that’s covering her face. As readers, we are lead to believe that the car is more attractive than the woman, or if the woman looked more like the car, there would be more of an attraction.

            Motivation is also used in this advertisement for basically the same purpose as persuasion. Sex gets people motivated to do things. People look at these advertisements, and think to themselves that maybe sex can get them what they want, meaning possibly this car. Though this isn’t exactly true in most cases, we’re human, and we can’t help but think so.


           In doing this assignment, I learned how to really look at an advertisement, and see what it’s really trying to say. I also learned that color, certain angles, facial expressions, and objects in the photo have more to say than meets the eye. I never realized how people motivate others to buy their products with just photos, but now I know!
