"Stay Sweet As You Are" In-Class Response

Stay Sweet As You Are is a good example of an paper that follows the criteria for an analysis paper. To begin with, the author, Doug Lantry, shows concern for his audience as he is describing his stance on the ads. These are displayed when he shows his distain and objection for the ads: “the premise is that a bad complexion will prevent marriage even if a woman has attributes like wit and grace…” The word “even” plays a key role in explaining his stance. The author’s stance on these kind of ads is also made clear through this observation. The author gives us context in stating that the ads were created in the 1920’s, 30’s, and 50’s. The author’s Design is well thought out as well, as his paper shows evidence supporting his analysis. It allows visual representation and support of his stance as well as responding to the audience’s possible inexperience.
