Discovering Worlds Past and Present
Take Off The Mask
Welcome to my favorite site in the world, TV Tropes. A trope is simply “a familiar device.” The thing is, most familiar things don’t get recognized, which becomes a problem when you are dealing with advertisers.
This is a small research response. Watch this commercial above, then click on the TV Tropes site and try and classify this commercial according to the given definitions. Then write an analytical response — Rule of 3 (fact, detail, interpretation) — that integrates the details of the advertisement with the definition of the commercial. This will require embedded citations — use them as part of your narration — and opinion (does the commercial achieve its purposes, and why?)
