Poetry

• Love makes you feel as if you can fly. (Flying is sth. special, it makes you feel free and great.)
• Love is a prison that you can't escape from. (Love can limit your freedom. If you are in love with someone who is not interested in you and if you can't stop loving him, it feels like prison.)
• If you are in love, it feels like being in spring - even if it is the hardest winter. (You feel young, free and new born. You think that you can achieve everything. A new love is like a new start.)
• Your eyes are brown like the most delicious choco-donuts. (If you can't resist choco-donuts, you can't resist him.)
• Love gives life a sense. (It's dangerous if you depend too much on your partner but it can also make your life worth living.)
• A new love frees you from your old chains. (It makes you forget things that happened in the past.)

The advert xy ...

question	answer
what product?	Reggaefest
aim and target group?	people who like reggae
elements (description, relation between them?	You see a pretty woman who wears a normal dress. Her hair is long and would not attract anyone's attention if she hadn't one strand that is formed like dreadlocks.
how is "customers'" attention attracted?	By using a detail - the dreadlocks in the woman's hair - a customer wonders what that is because the first impression is that it looks strange, something isn't right.
message (of text and image)?	"There is only one day to Reggae" says the text. And in the woman's hair is exactly one strand of dreadlocks. Dreadlocks are often weared by Reggae musicians - that's the connection between text and image. Another connection is the stressed "one". One day, one strand. Both seems not much, so if you want to go to the Reggaefest you have to be careful not to forget the date.
how does the advert work, how are people influenced/conviced?	At first you see a young woman and don't know why there is one dreadlock (Usually this word doesn't exist in singular). So you look at the advertising to find out what's the sense and the message of the image. You read the text and understand. Maybe you think that this advertising is funny so you don't forget it. When you have nothing else to do, it is possible that you decide to go there. Then the advertising has convinced you. advert appeals to somebody because of the young woman and the strange hairstyle. message is supported by one dreadlock (usually this word doesn't exist in singular) advert uses customers' curiostity to attract his attention - and to keep it. rhetorical and stylistic devices in language and imagery: Alleration: only one; that stresses the short time of the Reggaefest. The writing is very little, the image is eyecatching. reader makes associations with/is reminded of typical musicians with dreadlocks.
