Galaxy Advert Flashcards
Todorov
In the advert the equilibrium would be represented through the bus ride as everything is going as planned and they will eventually reach their destination.
The disequilibrium would be the incident with the fruit and vegetables that have dropped in front of the bus, delaying the bus from reaching its destination.
The new equilibrium is created when the man offers Audrey Hepburn a ride to her stop, to which she accepts whilst enjoying her galaxy bar.
