English Media Coursework please read and help :)?

i’ve had this coursework since December 201 and its based on analysis two different christmas adverts, and basically i’ve chosen the John Lewis Christmas Advert and i am comparing it to Tescos Christmas Advert i need to talk how they both target the audience, the special features, the purpose of features, who it pays homage too, the aim of the ad, and what the hidden message is and if it has any religious content so please could you leave a few lines about both of them and how they are compared or juxtaposed or anything because anything will help! this is my start so far (sorry its soo longg)
The main message of Christmas is giving. Yet people are more content on the receiving end, that’s why Christmas adverts have had a choice this year, they know that they could of targeted the less wealthy families because of the credit crunch, or they could of targeted the filthy rich and try to make as much money as possible. Both John Lewis and Tesco use a different way of attracting the audience, Tesco uses 3 famous actors, Amanda Holden, Mark Addy and Fay Ripley; And this years John Lewis uses the well known song “your song” (originally by Elton John, covered by Ellie Goulding) millions of people world wide will know the lyrics, and as soon as the tune and the words “it’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside” start to play on the television, you’re hooked. You’ve stopped sorting out the washing and you’re watching the advert, you don’t mean to, but you can’t help it. Some could say that the song might contradict the advert as the lyric goes “I don’t have much money” as people would possibly associate John Lewis with normally being relatively expensive, however once you’ve received that £100 bonus cheque from work, what’s not stopping you from spending your money here? Maybe your morals? Maybe you know you’re spending too much money on something insignificant?. If that’s the case then with this years Tesco Christmas advert, it’s doing the exact opposite, its portraying how even if you have a lot of money then what’s the problem with getting your moneys worth? Nothing, that’s what. Christmas over the years has changed, its gotten out of control. The Tesco advert portrays the life of a married couple and the wife’s ‘rich and snobby’ sister, who thinks she’s better than everyone else, however in the advert its promoting how you don’t have too have a lot of money to buy the brilliant deals that are on offer.

What is wrong with people?
Filed in The Category - Christmas Hymn Lyrics
I’m disgusted, I’m sickened and I’m fed up with this decade. Everything has gone down hill, We’re destroying the earth, We’re highly strung, or to laid back, We’re skinny, we’re fat. We hate him and her but we’re nice to their faces. Our music sucks, The lyrics have no meanings and sometimes don’t even make any sense. We have the worst christmas #1′s in the world’s history not even based around christmas but most people downloading them just so X-factor doesn’t win but they could of at least picked a song that was GOD DAMN CHRISTMAS BASED. Honestly People are idiots And i’m ashamed to be one I really hope the next 10 years are better then these.

I need advice on what I should do with my music?
Filed in The Category - Christmas Hymn Lyrics
i am 14 and i am in year 10 but i want to be a rapper. i got an apple mac last christmas which has garageband on it and i haven’t come off it since, i am constantly making new beats and songs and writing lyrics too. i have sent some of my songs to 4 of my friends who i can trust and they have all said that my songs are amazing and that i should tell people, but i don’t want to put out my music on youtube or anything because all my other friends at school and my football team will take the mic out of me and there are some idiots in my school and they will tease me about it. i already hate school and if i got teased it would be even worse, i am in the top class at the moment but im starting to struggle already due to music being on my mind so much. i do have many friends but i know them well and i know that they will not let it go and constantly take the mic. i WANT to put my music out so people can hear but i don’t know if i’d rather put my music out and feel pleased but then get teased or keep it to myself and some friends until i leave school in 1 and a half years but that is quite a long time away and i don’t know if i can wait that long. i already have 2 songs completely finished and around 15 potential songs at different stages of completion, i produce all the beats myself, write my own lyrics and record vocals in my own bedroom with my laptop. is it worth it hating school even more while im young or should I put it out as soon as i can so people will be impressed at my age? i have thought about it a bit and thought of sort of a plan, dont tell anyone until after school then take a gap year before I go to college to promote my music and get a job and then if its successful cancel my college placement but if not go to college and forget about it. is this a good plan? or should i just put my music out now? HELP! sorry for such a long piece but i need advice, thanks a lot!
i dont know how to answer people who have left questions so i’ll answer here, i have heard of tech n9ne, but i will look up the others and yeah my songs do mean something i have one about love but its called twisted love so theres more to it than that its like a story, one is just the intro to an album with random lines, one is called i’ll be back, where its random lines really but they all have some importance in the song, one is called all on me which is basically saying its all on me to make it happen, tried hard is about looking back on my childhood and explaining some things in my life, psycho is kind of not true but its more of a evil song its still quite good and my best rhymes are on there, buried treasure is how no one knows i rap but hench buried treasure! cant think of anymore but yeah that should do, erm if i do make a youtube channel my name will just be – JT but im not sure if i will use that name so people can see like one of the answers says but i will post a link on he
