Reading Response #3 - Advertising and Children

For this weekend's reading response we will be reading Eric Schlosser's "Kid Kustomers". You can find it in 50 Essays, our required text for the semester, from pages 353-358.

Read Schlosser's essay closely and pay attention to any rhetorical strategies or devices being used, and any kind of ethical, moral, or logical appeals that the author is trying to make. The response itself is relatively straight forward: I was you to disagree with Schlosser.

In a 500-word response post, create an argument that runs counter to Schlosser's. This doesn't simply mean that you have to argue that child advertising is great (although you could make that argument), but rather means that you have to engage directly with Schlosser's points and develop an argument against him. I am also asking that you bring in one sentence from your response that you feel comfortable sharing with the class for Tuesday's class session. Be creative!
