Sylvester and I are watching television advertisements because we need information for a class 11 project. We have to discuss realism and distortion in television advertising, and so we are looking for examples of distortions and falsehoods in television commercials. The question we are asking is, Is the commercial 12 to life, or does it 13 an unreal picture of the product?
Sylvester is keeping track of the distortions, and he already has quite a long list. He says that all housewives seem to live in lovely homes, dress beautifully, and love their household chores. They smile and 14 about floor waxes and 15 display their dirty 16 , dusty tabletops, and dirty ovens. In addition, he had never seen men doing housework. Sylvester thinks that this view of family life is filled with distortions.
I am keeping track of the people who appear in the advertisements. I have found handsome men courting the All-American Girl, and they are always 17 brand X toothpaste or brand Y cologne. I see teenagers and children surrounded by their friends, having 18 times at parties and at school, and they are usually enjoying large harmonious family 19 .I think that these advertisements are also filled with distortions.
Sylvester and I have concluded that much of American life is pictured 20 in commercials.
