Good start and you did very well with providing detail and analyzing your three main points. But think about how to make your thesis more specific; in other words, what type of masculinity is the ad promoting? Also, may I suggest that you devote the first point to just the male’s physical appearance, then proceed to the next point about the fragrance/product itself, and lastly connect both to the woman’s presence which is a result of the man using the fragrance? You basically have this narrative running in your outline, and it’s great. Also, if possible, consider using your analysis of the ad which you completed for the Quick Write on Friday- about the gender neutrality suggested by the ad- for your conclusion? Good work.
