A Stink Of Glamour
Five large eye-catching block letters top the page: "SMELL". Below appears a puzzling, non-realistic picture of a nose printed in fluorescent purple, red, pink, and green. Smello Inc., a California-based perfume company, tries to sell its new line in a full-paged advertisement in Cosmopolitan.
The advertisement stresses the sexy new scent of Smello's latest creation. The lower three-fourths of the page picture a rather strange collage of a nose and Masonic like eye and a set of teeth. All details are in fluorescent-like ink; the picture might stand out under a black light. The top of the fluorescent purple nose flips open like a lid. Small orange-red squares drop into it.

An abstract streamlined piercing scars the right nostril, rushing across the front of the nose itself. Details are not realistic.

The peculiar fluorescent colors and the mysterious design attract the browser's attention from an article titled "50...

The most important thing lies in the understanding of customers who think that if we use 'some' company's products then we will be recognized by that logo or in other words we can say that some companies are successful in creating a status symbol by the use of their products. This has created a competitive advantage for those companies.
The writer in this essay has started with some confusing language that was at first un-understandable (for me atleat), but in the last paragraph he has given the idea of his saying. So it is a relatively good effort.
