What did the ad imply with the big diamond ring?

The ad implied that it is men's job to work and earn money and that it is the women's job to smile and look happy and grateful for the gifts that the men buy them even if they don't like it or don't appreciate the gesture. 

What is subtext?

The subtext is something that isn't said in the ad but is something that is being shown or said without actually having to be said. This can be different for everyone as everyone takes away different ideas about the ad because of the way that they think. 

With CL, can each student have their own answer?

When it comes to critical literacy everyone thinks differently so everyone can have a different answer, but can have similar ideas or concepts to somebody else's answer. It all depends on what you take away from what you've seen and how you analyze it to create an answer. 

What does Andrea compare CL to?

During the talk Andrea compares critical literacy and being able to decode and deflect information online to having superpowers, specifically in the talk she compared her ability to think critically to being like Wonder Woman. 

How can CL be applied to your life outside of school?

Technology has become an everyday part of life inside and outside of school and although it has its benefits it also has its downsides and false information is easily spread throughout the web, using critical literacy skills helps you decipher what your seeing online and keeps you safe from the false influence of other people.
