Kwun and Walker Part 2

Kwun's "Lady Gaga is a Machine for Dancing"
Kwun's thesis in this article is that Lady Gaga is an original artist, whose appearance and matches her artistic creativity. She starts her article off with comparing clothing and architecture, stating how the two both support and protect the human body. Kwun then moves on by describing a multitude of Lady Gaga's extreme and cutting edge outfits, while also describing events of her life. Doing this draws a comparison between her life and outfits, both exotic, different, and artistic.

Walker's "Paint is Black"
Walker's thesis in this article is that Marlboro's new black design is short of "new-product suicide by design." Walker supports this theory by stating the negative connotations which go hand in hand with the color black, and the negative connotations which go hand in hand with smoking. He then further goes on to explain that cigarette companies should create cigarette packaging with the thought of showing the dangers involved, since everyone already knows the dangers. Though Walker does not think that this was necessarily Marlboro's intentions, but however meaning to or not it does in a subtle way hint at the negatives which go along with smoking.
