Tommy Hilfiger

What does the text suggest about how Tommy Hilfiger view America? The questions and answers in this section really helped me look at text a different way. It analyzed what was in the ad, but also what was missing. There are middle to upper middle class people sitting on a lawn. No one is above 30, there is not sign of work. I think the ad may be saying something about blue collar work. There are no indians or mexicans and the location is out in a farmhouse area maybe out in new england. The ad represents real america as being everything listed above. They try to broad there market by including a black male and black female, but the TH logo is underneath the white woman. It tells me that Tommy Hilfiger is for well off non working, upper twenties white people. They view America as just that.

Myself as a text

Even though i'm a guy, i love my shoes like i'm a girl. Clothing is definitely something that defines me. My mood is how i determine what i wear whether it be sweatpants or a button down shirt. Something interesting, if i wear something nice-ish, then i won't wear my backpack out. If i'm wearing athletic shorts and a t-shirt, ill wear my drawstring bag and carry books in that. And my shoes. I have 16 pairs of shoes and i try to wear a different one everyday. I see people with flip-flops and jeans and it confuses me but whatever. I think my clothing conveys a message. It tells people i care about how i look. I have to admit i judge people almost completely on what they wear. the popular quote says don't judge a book by its cover, well i judge that cover completely. you can't wear birkenstocks with socks! You can't! i don't know it's something i have to work on but it's also something that defines me a lot.
