The reading from the St.Martin’s Guide helped me out a ton in trying to figure out what to write my essay about. While I was reading I thought the part about outlining your draft was very interesting. I never knew you could have such specific outlines like the examples in the book. During this time my tentative thesis is that  cosmetic commercials are being aimed at the younger generation more then it has been in the past. Once I have a solid idea I will refer back to this section in the book to add more effect to my paper.
