Outline of paper

Thesis: The image makes a visual statement that women are not punching bags and should not be treated as such.

• Intro:
• Scrapes and bruises are apart of life but should not be apart of relationships
• 2009 R1 Coalition Against Domestic violence ad depicts a women in an abusive relationship as a punching bag wearing a green dress
• women should not be treated as such
• Paragraph 1:
• women are mostly on the receiving end when it comes to domestic violence and this ad takes a stand on the issue
• The punching bag wearing the dress represents a woman that is there for the sole purpose of beating up
•  chain represents convenience of being tied down or held back
• The green dress seems to flow which represents the softness and how dainty a women is. the color green is most associated with the works “OK,” “Go,” “Good,” and “Run Through” and could also come off to some as an easy target.
• Paragraph 2:
• This ad against domestic violence against women, tries to get the viewer to see that women and punching bags are not the same
• By using the punching bag, the ad gives women a hard exterior, but if taken apart, the materials used to make that punching bag are not hard at all
• uses chains to hold up the punching bag which shows the man’s upper hand over the woman.
•  “It isn’t acceptable to treat a woman like one.”
• The slogan, green dress and chains all help the viewer to see that a woman is not an object used for hitting and that the grace of a woman and the hard exterior of a punching bag do not tie in together
• Conclusion:
• Domestic Violence should not be tolerated
