 The colliding of reality and dream

          In “The fashion industry: Free to be an individual”, the author Hannah Berry published her report of the analysis of Ads of the arrival of two new different kinks of boots in that time. By introducing the new-coming products of boots, she strongly suggested that the glamour of advertisement can infect people to realize the signification of being free to be an individual by following the coming products, this is evident when she stated “Ads such as the two for Clarks and Sorel discussed below encourage us to break free from the standard beauty mold and be ourselves; using mostly imagery, they remind us that being unique is the true of beauty. In the other words, to be ourselves, we should be conscious of the important of personality, doing what we love instead of following others. However, I do not agree with that idea, because there are large differences between what we are limited to do and what we love to do. The dream is beautiful, whereas the reality is cruel.

                     In the daily life, all kinds of products advertisements are posted in different public places for the purpose of business, people feel new and unique about the new arrival of Ads when they meet them in the first time. Some Ads may be so attractive that people plan to purchase them, that is the way people follow the fashion.

Whether people are capable of buying the new product just posted on the Ads completely dependent on their economic capability or how much money do we own. The rich can purchase what they want, whereas the poor cannot purchase until they have extra money or wait until the special discount. So the publishment of Ads sometimes cannot make people to buy the products for being what they want to be because of the existence of the reality. Which we need to think carefully any consequence will happen before we begin the action, like the Ads of the boots published by Clark and Sorel in the article, even though the Ads is so fascinating to the customers, people need to consider if they are capable of buying the products. So even it is true that we should follow our own ideas to be ourselves or to create our  own personal character as described in the article.

                     As we all know that everyone has own personality, but someone may change for some reasons, they cannot do what they want, they cannot buy what they want. If it needs cost to be ourselves by purchase the new products to accessorize our inner beauty, which lost itself worth, it is numb following. So when the reality encounters the dream in one day, we need to make the reality come first, the dream comes later.

                     All in all, the Ads of new products are truly attractive to customers, but people cannot numb to follow the fashion to be themselves, the real inner beauty comes from the reasonable idea of life. Be ourselves , let others be their owm.
