second essay comparison


I chose to read the blog post Gatorade vs. Crystal Light.  The link to the blog is, http://foodiesnotwelcome.blogspot.com/2012/04/gatorade-vs-crystal-light.html.  This blog was very different when compared to my blog.  There are two major differences that I have found.  The first difference is that I chose to compare and contrast specific aspects that the ad would play into while the Gatorade vs. Crystal Light blog analyzed each one individually.  For example I compared the easiness to eat the product on the go as a reason why one product would be picked over the other.  Another difference is that I talked more about why one would choose one product over the other because of price and convenience and Dani chose to talk more about the emotional connections that the ads tried to make. 
                I feel like both approaches, while different, are effective.  They both bring up major aspects of the ads and then evaluate how that ad attempts to make people buy the product.  Also, the two blog posts are different because I used two pictures and Dani used two videos.  In videos there is motion and sound which is better suited to spark emotional responses while a picture only appeals to your eyes.
