Inventing Nelson L

While observing the Pantene add, the first thing that comes to mind are the shattered pieces of ones life, represented in the shattered violin of the deaf girl.  Throughout the ad, you are exposed to a brief overview of 2 girls personal lives.  One deaf with no friends, the other a mean girl taking her anger and frustration out on the deaf child, most likely due to the way she is treated at home.  I've observed the parents strict tolerance, for the child when making mistakes on the piano.  In jelousy she would take it out on the deaf girl, who's life is shown to be a constant struggle.

Each scene for the deaf girl is like a shattered memory, in the end while gaining the courage to get up on stage, her violin, broken by a group of violent peers, was put back together using only tape.  This shows how she is able to overcome every bad scene in life, or symbolically, every shard of broken wood from her violin.  Unleashing a fury in the end, whether  she was playing, or what was inferred an act of her overcoming all obstacles in life,  the audience applauded, showing her overcoming her rival, the girl who only tortured her emotionally for all of her life.
