Research Paper 2- MA

This Hoover magazine advertisement was released in 1953. It pictures a middle to upper-class woman, possibly in her late twenties or thirties, laying on the floor with her new red Hoover vacuum she received for Christmas. She wears a festive green dress and smiles while reading her letter. In the 1910s, ads began to present women as stereotypical housewives. The cooks, mothers, and keepers of the home.

    Assignment:
    Identify the linguistic message(s).
    Identify the denotative and connotative aspects.
    Explain if the signs are icons, indexes, or symbols.
    Consider the cultural codes being conveyed in the advertisement.
    Identify if polysemic signs, myths, or naturalization can be observed.

    I don’t see that you identified these requirements.

    Late
