Essay - The Two Advertisements for Harley Davidson Both Have the Overall...

The two advertisements for Harley Davidson both have the overall message that Harley ********** are for rebellious individuals and that societies rules do not apply to the Harley Davidson owner.

The text of the first ad, "in some circles, paisley and florals ***** yet ***** catch on" sets the tone for the ***** and also conveys ***** meaning. Firstly, the text has an air of importance to it as well as an ***** of indifference. The "in ***** circles" is patronizing ***** suggests that *****se 'some' are ***** as good as the rest. ***** humor associated w*****h '***** and florals***** takes the edge of th***** patronizing feel, so that ***** ***** text ***** a humor that means it is not to be taken too seriously. This creates a humorous *****nd ironic tone to the ad. This text, w*****hout the picture, also captures the meaning ***** the ad. These 'circles' that haven't caught on are implied to ***** ***** ones without the ***** Davidson's. The irony is in the m*****match of ***** ***** images, 'paisley and ********** and the Harley Davidson. Overall, this suggests that ***** with a Harley Davidson do not have to conform to societies *****, but set their own. ***** ***** the independent, rule-breaking spirit ***** ***** ***** Davidson rider, with ***** rule-breaking in a way ***** is harmless.

***** ***** has the same message, but ***** most important because of its ability to attract attention. The image is a humorous one, with the irony of it enough to ***** ***** reader's *****. The picture does not add any more ***** than ***** text, but is important to catch the ***** attention so that they read the *****.

***** second ad with the text "the necktie ***** society's leash" is very similar to the first, except that the text ***** not have ***** humor ***** the first. Instead the text ***** more serious. Without the picture to accompany it this text would be sad, rather than ironic. In ***** case, it is the picture that adds the irony. Again the mismatched ***** of the biker and the necktie creates interest. As well as *****, it communicates the same message as the first ad, that the Harley Davidson ***** can be independent and break free from ***** rules.

***** the text and the ***** the message is ***** the necktie is ***** leash, but not ***** biker's leash. Therefore, the ***** Davidson allows the individual to break ***** from the confines of society. At the ***** time, the humor in both ads ensures that the Harley Davidson owner ***** ***** seen to take *****mselves too seriously.

***** overall message of ***** ads is that if you own a Harley ***** you are a rebellious, independent free spirit, rebelling ***** the rules of society and enjoying *****r **********.
