Advertising 3
... and the ad is the action that the leg is doing; it reflects the motion of a mechanical frame that moves the train's wheels. This is where "like produces like" comes into play.

Thus this image gives the viewer of the ad a simulation of what his leg would be doing on a bike but with more power.
STYLE: The ad uses key words and key images to communicate its meaning.

... the 19th century prices tended to go downward as food and raw materials became cheaper. After major wars such as the Napoleonic Wars and World Wars I and II, prices again moved upward. In the 1950s and '60s a so-called creeping inflation occurred, when the general price level in the United States and Western Europe rose by an average of 1 to 5 percent each year. In the 1970s inflation increased until it reached as much as 13 percent a year in the United States. Many countries have suffered from inflation more than has the United States. Israel had inflation of more than 100 percent a year in the early 1980s, m ...

Halloween

to mingle with the living. The Celtic folk would leave out gifts of food
and drink for the dead souls. On All Souls Day, November 2, people would
walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes", made out of square
pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggar would receive,
the more prayers they promised to say for the dead relatives of the donors.

landing. The nose of the aircraft was high, so it could be eased, gently to the
ground. The nose was coming down slowly, but when it made contact with the
concrete, it retracted back into the chin of the aircraft. This caused the nose
to fall to the ground.
This, in turn, caused scrapes on the nose and wings. The propeller blades
bent when they came in contact with the ground, along with the wingtips. Even
after all that, the aircraft was still flyable, because on an aircraft of its'
size, that kind of damage is conside ...

According to marketing managers surveyed, those who invested in more sophisticated MkIS sub-systems suc ...

source Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary defines it as,"a sleep
like condition psychically induced, usually by another person, in which the
subject loses consciousness but responds, with certain limitations, to the
suggestions of the hypnotist." As I stated earlier, these two sources are
