Essays / Describing an object through a capitalist lens! [2]
Okay my assignment is to describe an object through a capitalist lens.
I chose to compare a classic leather journal to a new fangled planner.
I want to describe that it is cheap, new fangled, and not nearly as good as the classic journal. I want to say something along the lines of how it is a great example of capitalism's attempt to impress consumers through its new fangledness...but I don't know how to say that in a nicer way! I need some help!
Heres an example of a part of the essay:
Weary of changing my classic journal with a (how can you describe this capitalist product,) I regarded the book with contempt, and its overly ornate structure a nuisance to aiding me in organizing my responsibilities.
How can I fill in that blank??
