The iPod protects one’s individuality.

Our insecurities are cured by the music we listen to but not by the people we talk to everyday. Its very easy to relate and connect with music however, it’s the complete opposite with the world and people

In other words, it’s hard to interact and have an emotional association with new people rather than music.

TOPIC SENTENCE

INTRODUCE TOPIC WITH AN ASSERTION

ELABORATE BY EXPLAINING

The iPod does the opposite of bringing each other out but instead; it brings each of us into another world-alone

“…Building new barriers between us. Music may know no boundaries, but the purpose of the iPod is to protect them.”

Introduce Upcoming Quote

Quote

Everyone has a lack of confidence somewhere or self-doubt because no one is perfect and with that in mind, everyone puts up barriers to protect their insecurities.

The quality or state of being insecure will call for a replacement or something to mend that self-doubt to restore and nurse back to health, hence the iPod. Moreover, it’s an ideal product for the era of insecurity because it’s capable of being taken anywhere.
