Conclusion 1
Through these two advertisements we can see how beer companies tend to focus on not only a certain gender but also the different mindsets of the gender. Bud Light is looking for a more relaxed and comfortable mindset that will just get up and grab a beer, and Dos Equis lures in a more stressed out man seeing the life he wishes he has.

Conclusion2
Advertising is not simply taking a picture of your product and hoping people will give it a try. It’s a psychological game. A game where the advertisers must get into people’s heads and not only grab but squeeze that part of their brain which will make a customer out of anyone. Only then have the advertisers accomplished their goal. Their goal of making money through their products.



in my first conclusion i more of summed up the paper. so i tried to change it up a little bit by writting a more general conclusion. the first one responded directly to my introduction and body paragraphs and almost just restated what was already formally said. in my second conclusion i talked about advertising in general. i talked about what makes a good advertisement and what the goal of an advertisement is. so by taking this different approach i thought it would be a change from the traditional conclusions which alwasy say the same thing and have the same formula. the formula of restating your these, then talking about your major points, and then finishing with a closing statement. I am hoping that this adds a little more touch to the paper' however i am not sure if it really answers the "so what?" question.

I like the second conclusion better because its gives like a visual of the advertisers squeezing a brain and such. It paints pictures in my mind. Also, answer the So what? question because remember it isnt restating your paper its showing the reader why he/she would care for reading your paper. For example in my paper I said for the So what? That advertisements can be detrimental by what their advertisements show. Like I said that kids wanna drink and they drive and that causes accidents. I dont know I was giving you an example of the larger picture of my paper. Maybe you can try something like that.
