In the article "Hype" the author Kate Lash talks about how Advertisements are becoming a pollution not only to America but also our brain. Advertisements are use to get people into buying products that we don't even need or don't even work. this Ads are taking over almost every usual place you visit. Kalle gives us very detailed examples of how America is getting bombarded by commercials and ads.
I agree with Lash because anywhere your eyes can possibly rest there's a logo or a product message. If you go to the mall and you have to rush to the bathroom you see the walls full of unnecessary propaganda. Even when you go to the movie theaters, long gone were the days you would watch just the movie, now you have to wait for at least six trailers and propaganda of products to finally after twenty minutes watch the movie you actually paid for.
"there is nowhere to run no one will be spared" kalle states us Americans can not do anything bout it, Advertisements are forever going to be in our eyes and technology makes it worse coming up with new and more advanced ideas on how to advertise a product, for example when i went to Boston with my cousins we got a cab to the hotel , we noticed that the cab had a small TV in front of us which had a terrible commercial for shoes and on the side had the weather which i think is was really helpful for tourist.
In conclusion the author wants the readers to know how advertisement is taking over America with ads that people dont really pay attention to. Companies are trying to gain more money through commercials and propaganda but in reality they are loosing more money.

Since this is the only CAT-W response you have submitted for this unit, here is all the feedback I can give you so far:
Summary is okay. For the next CAT-W, you should position it in an introductory paragraph (see page 23 of the class packet).
Evidence + explanation are fine, but notice that you skip the topic sentence in the second body paragraph, replacing it with a quote from Lasn's piece. That means you need to work on the "Sandwich"" method to paragraphing (page 17 of the packet).
The conclusion misreads Lasn's point. The author wants us to know that our minds are filled with useless information.
