Thesis and Outline of "Like a Girl" Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    After multiple sessions of watching the "Like a Girl" commercial, I have finally decided on a suitable thesis statement for my essay! I must say that it was interesting to see my own viewpoint change as I researched this campaign more and more, and I bet you all will see it, too!


Thesis: By utilizing cinematographic strategies and personalized accounts in its "Like a Girl" Super Bowl XLIV commercial, the Always company crafts and establishes an empowering message for women who have been subjected to such stereotypes from others and an alert against stereotyping women for men to instigate change in a male-dominated society. However, although it is mostly effective in presenting its beliefs to its audience, the Always company's desire to advertise and associate themselves with the feminist movement does mar the message's delivery, bringing damning questions to the overall motive of the "Like a Girl" campaign.


     Here is a link to my preliminary outline for the analysis. Coming soon: the drafts of the analysis!

  1. Hey Davis! So as I said in class the other day, I really like how detailed your thesis is. I also think it's great that you have already chosen the specific strategies that you want to focus on when it comes to cinematographic effects. It will definitely help when it comes time to drafting your analysis since you already know what you are analyzing, and what you want to say! My only suggestion is that although the conclusion comes at the very end, and you may change your body paragraphs while writing, you might want to consider at least a basic outline of the conclusion as well just to remind yourself which points you want to reiterate at the very end. Great job!
