If you show young adult something in a certain manner, we believe what we see. We are nieve human beings at our age and are easily manipulated by our elders. When people see "Seeking a challenge" they may take it in as a test to be someone better then most. In my eyes the marines are a very elite group of fighters. The keyword in that is "fighters," they are created to be weapons used by our government. How can they use the word "benefits" to consume young adult to believe that it is a great idea to join the marines so they will get more out of life then most others. In the "cutting edge" section of the webpages, you see a marine in a picture who looks very serious and strong. No where in any of these sections do they speak about the dangers and problems that could come from being in the Marines or any other branches of the armed forces.
All in all, the creators who made these webpages did a great job capturing your attention and making you believe the marines are something above the rest. In my eyes they may be above the rest, but not in any way that i would persue that prestigious title.

I think that the article is geared twowards teens who are vulnerable, but I also think that it plays on the emotions of men in general. It shows strong men going out to save thier country, and saying that the Marines is a challenge.
I think you hit the mark here. You read your homework and went to town. Good job here, I like your focus.
