1. In the commercial, a PC and a Mac are debating over which one is a better computer. The Mac makes a statement saying that it runs better and faster than a PC. This upsets the PC and it explodes in anger, saying that he is tired of hearing the Mac brag about itself. The commercial ends with the statement, "Mac, they won't blow up on you." The obvious meaning of this statement is that Mac's are more reliable than PC, but it is also symbolized by the PC in the commercial "blowing up" in anger over the Mac's ability.
2. Mac computers will not "blow up" like a PC.
3. How much more reliable are Mac's? Who is going to be buying a new computer? What are some differences in the two computers?
4. Mac computers can retain more information and perform better than a PC, without the chance of the Mac "blowing up" like a PC.
5. Are people buying the Mac because of its popularity or because of its reliability? Is the commercial's strategies appealing enough to lead a person to buy the Mac over the PC?
6. The Mac commercial portrays the Mac as an all-around better computer that performs faster and store more information than the PC which cannot handle being overloaded with extra programs and data, causing it to "blow up".
Your thesis certainly offers a statement of significance about your topic. The thesis is not too obvious, allowing your readers to argue against it. However, your thesis only contain an argument between the two computer rather than including rhetoric strategies that the commercial uses. Therefore, I would suggest for you to include one of the major rhetoric techniques that the commercial used. The thesis also needs more elaboration concerning the differences between the computer.
