Giving should be done with the kindness of our heart
To show sympathy and care
Like a mother as it cares for her new born child
Love that touches the souls of the people
And help the helpless as hard times come
We have a duty in this world
To do things for the ones who need us most
And do it for the right reasons

Descriptive paragraph: 

I call it Home

After eight long years of separation from my hometown, Dipolog City, Philippines, I could still smell the salty air that filled around me on the clear water beach. The enlightening rays of light from the sunset blinds my eyes as i stare into the glistening calm water. The sight was so beautiful, I cannot help but smile. If only times like these could last forever. The sound of fluent Filipino coming from my garrulous family members, takes me back to the old memories of my childhood. I could smell the mouth watering sea food that allures me to the old restaurant located right beside the beach. Just over the horizon, the luminous sun starts to fall closer behind the ocean, almost touching. I observe my surroundings and lift my head high, gazing at the grayish blue sky containing smokey clouds with different shades of gray. The feeling of the cool breeze gives me chills and goosebumps that become visible on my highly sun-screened arms and legs. My feet touch the warm and wet sandy ground that squishes in between my toes. I was at peace. Looking back at the life that I had before, I remember all the times I attempted to build sand castles and bridges that always seemed to fail. In a distance, I watch the children laugh happily as they run towards each other and enjoying the moments that they had until the sun had completely set. With the crashing waves against the shore, splashes of water creeps into my mouth and the taste of bitter salt from the ocean disgust me. As the gentle water sweeps my sand covered feet, I take in another deep smell of this majestic town I call my home and suddenly, I was a little girl again.

DentaStix Advertisement

     Advertisements are used and made to influence consumers to buy their products. Many of the ads are serious, humorous, or even make you stop and think. In the DentaStix ad that I have selected, it had purpose and tone to catch the audiences attention.
     The DentaStix advertisement includes a cage containing a yellow bird lying on top of a swing and a hound dog standing right next to the cage with its mouth wide open. The tone is evident in the image by the hilarity of the bird after smelling the hideous stench of the dogs breathe. Lying on top of the swing, the bird was clearly grossed out from the smell. The yellow bird had passed out because the hound dog had not used their product, and its breath was not very pleasing.
     Another expository tone of this image can be evident int he image from the facial expressions and body languages of the two subjects. The second tone would be silly, and by the looks of the image, you can see why. The birds expression seems to be dead. a cartoonish dead to be exact, and its body language is very overly dramatic. It just lays there with its wings hanging from the side of the body and its mouth gagging for air. Although the dog is just standing there, its facial expression tell that it was clearly breathing into the yellow bird, and was embarrassed by the smell.
     The DentaStix advertisement was very simple, yet funny. It showed obvious evidence of the tone and purpose and this ad was very humorous.
