Notice: one of the main differences between the student response and the model response is the strength of argument. The model response is more convincing because it uses if-then logic to suggest that the magazine cover is bad for society and men's health. What's more, it equates form to meaning. For example: strong fonts are used to suggest that men should be strong.
