Nomadic Junior (A.T.D)

Why does Rowdy call Junior a Nomad?

I believe Rowdy calls Junior Nomadic in the end of the book for many different reasons. He states the definition as people who move around, who keep moving, in search of food and water and grazing land. Rowdy says Junior is Nomadic because he always knew Junior would leave the reservation. In Sherman Alexie's Novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Timed Indian, Rowdy talks about the definition of a nomad and how nobody on the reservation was nomadic except for Junior. Rowdy states, " I always knew you were going to leave us behind and travel the world. I had a dream about you a few months ago. You were on The Great Wall of China, you looked happy. and i was happy or you." I believe that Rowdy called Junior Nomadic because, unlike the other Indians on the rez, Junior got up and did something for himself.

Laughter and Tears Cartoon

I chose this image from The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Timed Indian where above this image it states, " When it comes to death, we know that laughter and tears are pretty much the same thing." I chose this image because to me it is a great way to show exactly that quote. People grieve in many different ways, some laugh and thinking about all of the great moments that were shared, or they could just be laughing hysterically. I think we all know why people would be crying. Death is a sad thing but its a way of nature and what are we to do but to live our lives to the best of our abilities and love each other.

Lunch Battle With Visa

  

The first ad I chose was the Burger King ad featuring the new "mini burgers". This ad caught my attention because of the proud looking woman in cook wear for shields. I'm not sure why she's wearing what she is, but i can only assume its because shes supposed to look happy about the new mini burgers. Since all women these days are known to be eating lighter.

If i were an advertising executive i would probably place this ad in malls and womens magazines. I would  be trying to target young women on the go. I think the ad is catchy and could help Fast Food Corps. continue to thrive through though economic times.

The second ad I chose was the Visa ad. At first I did not know what the ad was for until I noticed the very small Visa card in the bottom right corner, I also could barely read the writing on the white slip on the girls stomach. Once i could read the fine print it read " It's your life. How do you want to spend it?" This is a very enticing question, I feel as though it could be read two ways. First, how the ad wants you to read it, they want you to choose their credit card to "spend" your life the way you want. The second way I read it was a statement and then a rhetorical question, but still insinuating using their product.
