I am looking for a particular text within the public discourse, of Americans from our shared public culture?

It can be an ad, a television show, a logo, a movie, or a music video. Something that I can analyze, evaluate, and reflect on the possible meanings of this text and how successfully the text conveys it’s meaning by asking what messages implicit or explicit, accurate or not so accurate, does this text produce or promote cornering American experience?What might the success or failure of this text and it’s representations tell you about this culture/ society and its attitudes toward America and what it means to be American?

  • With your teacher allowing you that wide a swath of possible kinds of texts, you should have no trouble.

    Assuming you’ve done the readings and paid attention in class.

    If you didn’t, or if you just have made no sense whatever of what you’ve seen and heard and read, then go beg to drop this class.
