Topic for "Evaluative comparison of two texts" paper


For the second paper, Evaluative comparison of two texts, I have chosen a commercial and a song. The commercial is by Nike and shows Michael Jordan walking through a dark hallway and an entrance to some NBA room. As he walks, he is narrating, telling his failures in his career. But explains this is the reason he succeeds. It is a very motivational commercial. The song I have chosen to evaluate and compare with the commercial is Tom Petty – I Won’t Back Down. I find this to be a very inspirational and motivational song. I imagine the song helps people worldwide, whether it be finishing a road race, or getting through tough economic times. They both convey the similar message of never giving up and that failure is a stepping-stone to success. I am unsure which is more effective at the moment, but I will further analyze the two and decide. The link for the Nike commercial is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-EMOb3ATJ0 and the link for the Tom Petty song is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUTXb-ga1fo
