  3. Grammar extension Parallel structure means using the same grammatical form to express ideas with the same level of importance. The usual way to join these lists or series of words is with the use of a comma. Example: “Seeinga commercial for the same product dozens of times during an evening of television watching, then seeingthe same product advertised in a store, or hearingit advertised on the radio has the effect of getting consumers to purchase.” Parallel Structure Practice

  4. How Advertisers Persuade Advertisers employ (use) techniques to persuade consumers to buy their products. The informational text “How Advertisers Persuade” presents some of the methods of these “persuaders.” Take a look at the first paragraph and underline the last three sentences. “Advertisements for the “in” brand of teen clothing are not selling the quality of the fabric or its manufacturing; rather they are selling the status of wearing the most popular clothes. Cosmetics models are all beautiful young women because the advertiser is convincing women to buy a cosmetic on the promise of beauty, youth, and attractiveness. Most advertising appeals to emotion, not logic in its quest to keep the public consuming.” Is this true? Tell about a time when you experienced this example. What ads can you think of where this comes to mine?
