Mauricio Mbomio
Topic Proposal for Essay #2
Instructor Anna Mikhalova
English 102 Section 066 Spring 2007
When you take a close look at my wrist watch, you can see that it is not just a time provider, it has some additional features that make it more interesting and different from other ordinary watches: It can provide the days of the week in two languages, Spanish and English. This and other characteristics make my wrist watch differ from other watches.
One of the crucial analysis for this essay will include my wrist watch’s black leather strap, the internal lights (not really internal lights but it allows you to see the time even in darker places) and the fact that I can read the days of the week in my own language.
The way the watch is designed clearly implies that it can be used for different proposes, including elegancy. But in overall the watch is intended to be used by middle age people. Because of its size and style, I do not think aged people would feel comfortable wearing a big black wrist watch.
This essay will argue that wrist watches cannot only be used as time provider. They can also be used as objects of elegancy among middle age people.

Mauricio, as I told you after class, this is a good choice of object for analysis. However, you do need to spend more time on the specific details and how they reflect the needs and preferences of an individual wearing it. First of all, the main purpose of telling the time, if you consider the amount of detail on the face of the watch, what kind of buyer would appreciate it? As far as the looks are concerned, is it a unisex watch or more likely a watch for men? Why? What details or lack of detail makes you think so? Could you tell that this is a pricey or cheap watch? How? Is the brand name famous? Is it recognizable? Does it matter? Is it a watch you could wear with a business suit and on a camping trip? How do you know?
