Answer 1

There are several media sources that Khianna would benefit from using in her persuasive essay.

1.1 The most effective types of media for Khianna to use in her presentation would be visual media. This is because during a presentation, the speaker has to make sure she can keep the audience engaged and entertained. Visual media includes images, videos and pictures. This are particularly effective because they can convey a large amount of information in an accessible and entertaining way.

2.2 The types of media that should not be included in this presentation are print media. Although print media is not a bad source of information per se, it is ineffective in a presentation because the audience does not have enough time to read it properly.

3.3 Two media pieces that would be effective in this case would be magazines and videos. Magazines are particularly useful because celebrities often appear in magazines. Moreover, magazines constantly violate celebrities' privacy, thus giving support for her argument. Videos similarly support her argument while being entertaining and easy to watch.

Two examples of media that would not be effective would be audio and books. Audio is not a good source of information in a presentation because it does not allow the speaker to talk. Moreover, audio is sometimes difficult to play for large audiences and does not hold the audience's attention well enough. Books would also be ineffective because the audience does not have enough time to read a book during a presentation.

Answer 2

Bandwagon would be really helpful and useful. If one celebrity is being protected by strict privacy laws, then every other celebrity needs to do the same. Not only are they collaborated by fans, but they also have to be on the constant look-out, so universal appeal could be another one (values about home, family, and everyday life for everyone who joins these efforts).

Flattery advertising media should not be used because it is used to make customers feel special or extraordinary. If a celebrity did this to a customer, it would only defeat their own purposes of being protected by strict privacy laws. Not only that, but flattery is also used to get people to but their product (it would make a celebrity look greedier in a sense).

Lastly, two pieces of media that would at least be effective would have to be universal appeal (family-everyday relations), and band-wagon; because at least band wagon gives a message from celebrities to tell customers to improve their own self in a way. Two advertising media pieces on celebrities at times, that would not have any effect at all, would have to be association and flattery, as they expose celebrities, rather than excluding them.

I just learned about this and it may not be everything you're looking for your essay, but it hopefully gives you ideas about what to write if that's what your learning.
