My Bookr report was on the country Bolivia.

This is what I know about the country, and the facts about it:


 * 1) Bolivia holds the 18th largest mountain in the world, Illimani, which has the range of the Andes.
 * 2) Bolivia holds the 22nd largest lake in the world, Lake Titicaca, which has a range of the Altiplano-Andes Mtns.
 * 3) Bolivia's population is 10,461,053.

This is what I didn't know about the country:
 * 1) Bolivia's inflation rate is 7.2/10 percent worldwide.
 * 2) Bolivia's birth rate (per 1,000 population) is 23.77.
 * 3) Bolivia's unemployment rate is 6.5/15 percent worldwide.

Learned: These are facts that I learned about the country.
 * 1) Bolivia is home to many salt flats.
 * 2) Bolivia is using the salt from the salt flats as fuel for their electric cars.
 * 3) La-Paz is one of the largest cities in the world.

Resources: The most useful resources for images and ideas were:
 * 1) www.Wikipedia.org.
 * 2) www.countryreports.org

Discuss the following:
The target audience is for people going on vacation, mostly people who are looking for peace and excitement. The reason why it's a good audience and why they're interested is because they all want to go somewhere where the could relax and/or have fun. For example, the salt flats of Bolivia are relaxing and calm, and the city of La-Paz is filled with excitement and fun. I used Mahogany Red (because some older people like Mahogany) to attract the attention of the older people, and I used lots of maps and pictures to get the attention of the younger folk. Also I put it all in Spanish so that they know what they're getting into. I provided a list of popular places to visit, I also added 2 very interesting facts about Bolivia, and I used a few maps that show all of Bolivia. What's better is that I made this all in Spanish, so that if there are Spanish speaking people on a trip, they will understand this entire brochure. Well, I listed multiple pictures of the cities, salt flats, and rivers. Both looking very relaxing and calm, so the lifestyle of this message would be peaceful. The points of view are all in 3rd person because, how would it be first person? The values were to make the audience come and have a fun and relaxing time, because most of these pictures look relaxing. Just don't sloth too much. This message would be distributed to mostly people who are looking for a place to relax at, and to people who speak somewhat Spanish because they would be very interested to see what this place is like, hearing some things people may have told you about Bolivia.
 * What is the target audience? Explain why this was a good audience for the country you were researching. Why would they be interested in the country?

 * What Language of Persuasion did you use? Provide examples of the application to your document.
 * What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message?
 * Why would this message be distributed?

Problems and Solutions: What were the biggest problems that you encountered in completing the assignment. How did you solve the problems? I think my biggest problem of this project was trying to find more facts about Bolivia, since the first half was mostly about where to visit in Bolivia. I solved it by taking some advice from some friends to go on different sites to find more info. Luckily, I found Wikipedia, which helped me a whole lot with some very interesting facts too.
