She tended to buy more clothes than she needed, and often looked for famous brands, and even discounts. Later in her life, when she became a marketing student, this helped her understand how much her shopping was influenced by advertising. This influence began to be felt in middle school when she became concerned about her appearance. As an adult she was more aware of her motives while shopping, but was still influenced by advertising, consciously or subconsciously. The conclusion drawn by the author is: nobody can escape the influence of advertising. Advertising uses our weaknesses and insecurities against us, and makes us want to be more attractive, popular, or loveable. It makes us uncomfortable with who we are, and makes us want to be like the models in the ads. Thus we may buy things that we think are new, cool, or hot. II. While-reading Activities A.
