Prompt:
Analyze a Brief Cultural Text. This paper will be a semiotic analysis of a short, single “Text” in order to explicate the symbolic systems used in it to construct a “message” and suggest a “meaning.” Choose a brief object, such as a magazine advertisement or a short television or web commercial (no more than 60 seconds long), a currently relevant meme, or even specific sequence from an online game. The point is not to articulate what it means; instead, you will reveal the way symbols are used to create the meaning. This means you will focus on what the text connotates (suggests) indirectly through the symbols it uses. Remember that the purpose of using the semiotic method is not to analyze the entire text. Instead, you are identifying the essential symbols in the text to argue what larger meaning should be understood about it and proving your position with corroboration and explanation of the symbolic evidence. topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJD5XVja09k
The file I provided has my notes of where I was going with my argument. If you could try to use most of it then that will be amazing. If you have any other questions please let me know.
