Choose two of the "other worlds" described in the unit. Compare and contrast the ways these other worlds impacted the real world for the characters

essay one:
Yesterday. I went on the Interet to check my e-mails. But I couldn't just check them. Before
I could get down to business, I had to fight through pop up ads that wouldn't go away.
Several minutes were wasted. I then went outside to the mailbox and found a large stack of
junk ads waiting for me. I came inside, sorted through the mail and tossed the junk. More
waste. I turned on the TV to a toothpaste commercial, switched channels to a car commercial
switched again to a preview of an upcoming show, and finally turned the power off. I got in
the car and drove to the grocery store. A burger place had a "buy one get one free" special
Next, there was a clothes shop with a big sale. I am passing billboards advertising colas, life
insurance, shoes, cell phone plans, stores, soups, a sports team, and several political
candidates. Just a few years ago, this road sat next to spruce forests and fields. Now, every
building on the road competed for my attention. I understand that advertising is a form of
speech that is protected by the Constitution. Nonetheless, it seems that it is time to apply
some limits to it.
Ads waste more than they help. They waste people's time, and they waste precious resources
Suppose I waste just ten minutes a day sorting through advertising suppose you waste the
same. Multiply those minutes by 300 million people and then again by 365 days for the year.
The waste is astronomical.
In addition, some advertisements are inappropriate for children. Checking e-mail, going to
the mailbox, traveling to the grocery store, and having turned on the TV are all things that
children frequently do. Yet in every one of these places, I see ads every day that children
have no need to see. If advertisers don't care. perhaps we should
It is time we considered greater restrictions on our advertising What we have now has gone
too far.

essay two:
Some people think that we need to be stricter with our advertising. I disagree. I think that
advertising actually serves a useful purpose
Many products in America are sold simply because they have been marketed well. I have
bought some of them myself. No doubt you have too. People see the advertising and say, "I
want one of those." Now, behind every one of these products there is a company that made
the product and often a store that sold it. If these products do not sell, then companies and
stores lose revenue. That means people lose jobs. Like it or not, advertising is necessary to
our economy. Restricting it could bring serious economic consequences.
Not only is this true, but advertising is not always as annoying as some people might believe
Some ads are very funny. Others are interesting. And still others can be quite beautiful.
Advertising has become a form of art. It may be art with a business purpose, but it is still art
Once we open that door, where do we stop? Squelching advertising could be the equivalent
of squelching Michelangelo
Advertising has enough benefits that we need to keep it. To restrict it will only bring
problems.
