Thesis Statement Observations

Thesis Statement 

My visual rhetoric paper is going to be about a Nike ad. The photo is very simple but implies that to be the best at a sport you must have a determination and a work ethic that does not take breaks, no matter what. In this paper I look to play off Nikes theme “Just do it.”

1. Write down your observations.

The first impression I get when I look at the Nike advertisement that I will be writing about is that it is kinda of a grimy photo with no demonstrative colors. I think that this implies hardness and work; this ties right into what the picture is trying to imply. It says that in order to become good at a sport you have to really assert your self and work hard. 

 

2. Observations for preliminary thesis statement.

I think that my thesis statement does a good job tying in the ad and telling what it is all about in a simple way. My thesis statement is clear and tells just what is going on in the ad.

3. Ask Questions to refine your statement.

One question that can be asked is in the ad is if the photo of the swimmer was not as close would it help to imply the task at hand for the swimmer.

4. Then I polished my thesis statement to get my final draft which is displayed above.
