Home Alone Ad

An ad by Google for their new and advanced home system, features Kevin McCallister from the Home Alone series, in the same house. However, he can now convieniently use google home to do whatever he needs, from turning on the fire place, to ordering food automatically. This shows how they play on the viewers emotions, by using a reference to a classic Christmas movie, which makes the viewer relate the google home to a part of their upbringing as well. It basically shows how google home can be a helpful assistant but also a part of your family at the same time. Also, the fact that they  released the ad around Christmas shows they thought it through. They used cheerful background music which creates a merry feel to the atmosphere, a warmer feeling. To add, the camera angle was always centered on McCallister, a ‘just like old times’ feel.

Politics and the English language

I agree with Orwell on the belief that language is a natural growth and that we shape it for our own purposes. For instance, since I am at an advantage where I have been put into harder classes that challenge me to create arguments that use intelligent sounding words, and which do in fact have intelligent meanings, I use them to my benefit to prove my self right in an argument with my friends in less challenging classes. The meanings they have behind them are complex and are difficult for my other friends to retort successfully. Playing the instrument of language, I am able to bend the meanings of them for my own selfish purposes. As time goes by, my language grows and allows me to have more sophisticated responses to situations that require me to prove myself or to prove others wrong.
