Sample Student Essay

     This article was very informative for me and grabbed my attention really fast, even with just the title. Alcohol is a very big problem that is continuing to increase in the United States due to advertisements. This article compares and discusses how two different ads, one showing Belvedere and one showing Patron, influence people to drink in different ways. The belvedere ad is filled with majority black and uses that to portray romance and sexual and more dangerous, as opposed to the Patron ad that is majority white which implies that the drink is pure and innocent. The Belvedere ad makes people see themselves as sexier and more attractive and the Patron makes one feel cool, calm, relaxed, young and innocent.
      I really liked the way this essay has been written. The flow makes it easier to understand what is being written and makes it easy to follow. I think this essay gives a very good amount of information to compare and contrast the two different ads. It also provides textual support and includes a works cited page for people to refer to to determine how reliable the information is.
