This advertisement caught my eye. I was interested in exploring the site to learn about the features of the “Pomegranate”. The intended audience of the advertisement is young people interested in having the latest in mobile technology. The main purpose of the advertisement is to draw attention to itself and to get you to explore the new and fun features of the “smart phone”. However, the smart phone doesn’t exist and it is actually an advertisement for visiting Nova Scotia. The message it is sending is that you will have just as much fun discovering Nova Scotia as you did exploring the features of the “Pomegranate”. I enjoyed watching it and have never seen an advertisement presented like this before.

I found the ad to be very interesting and eye catching. The fact that the Pomegranate has most things we do and/or use daily such as coffee and a shaver is very mindblowing. The Pomegranate is so impressive that it seems so sureal. The intended audience for the ad is mostly for teens as well as men and women in their early twenties: it is an age where they become independent;attending school and working. Therefore the purpose of the Pomegranate is to serve and to be convenient to those who don't have time during the day to do such tasks. The message of the Pomegranate is to show how wonderful Nova Scotia is just as how wonderful the Pomegranate is. For example, the video of the designing life is about a building designer and his uniqueness. The style of his buildings bring a new and modern look. Just as the Pomegranate, it is very different and modern, yet it is appealing to the public eye. I enjoyed very well the ad of the Pomegranate that I think it is my favourite ad so far. I'm looking towards the future and the magnificant technology that will be invented then.

Dead Crows and Other Mysteries

Image
(Image: Oil Painting by Kirsti Ann Wakelin) The other evening I dreamt I found a dead crow caught behind the cushions of my sofa. Disturbing. How did it get there, in my dream, so concrete and visible? And what does it mean? Carl Jung would have me analyze the significance of this dream as it connects to our collective consciousness. What do crows symbolize in our culture today? Was this a visit from Poe? Has a Haida raven dropped by to keep me on my toes? Or is the recent death of my grandfather somehow "couched" in my internal dialogue? He was a storyteller. Even more intriguing is what happened when I relayed this dream story to my grade 8's. Picking up a new book of poetry and opening it randomly the first poem I fell upon was Jon Silkin's "Carved", the first two lines: Two small dogs stood by a dead black bird And the black bird was very dead. There is no denying death. The dead are dead. As with Silkin's black bird. As with

Rules & Laws: What is their role?

Martin Luther King once said: "Just as it is the duty of all men to obey just laws, so it is the duty of all men to disobey unjust laws". [Presumably he meant women too! ;)] It seems true that rules and laws play a pivotal role in maintaining some sense of social order. What if there were no laws? Would chaos unfold? Would the world as we know it fall apart? Or would life take on some new kind of structure, maybe something we haven't imagined yet? What is the role of rules and laws in our society? Is there ever a time when some rules or laws should be broken? Why?
