The characters in the Trix commercial represent different figures in society. The three characters in this commercial are the the lady, the children, and the rabbit. The lady represents dominance and has the most power among everyone else in the commercial. The lady in the commercial mimics the figure of a political leader in society. The children in the commerical, who do not have much dialogue throughout, represent consumers in society, people who want and abide by what the higher power says to get them the product. The children all clique like consumers, and aim for the same thing. They're easily influenced by those around them who all want the same thing. The Trix rabbit in the commerical represents the "outsider" in society, the person who doesn't follow the norm in society and is shut down by those with power due to their possession of intelligence ultimately becoming a threat. In this case, the Trix rabbit poses a threat to the lady and the Trix company, because he is able to identify the flavours. The lady shuts him down, since he can allow the children (consumers) to get a free box of the cereal, which is what the company doesnt want, they want a profit out of their consumers. This commercial represents society as we know it today, companies with high authority who want profit from consumers such as ourselves. Those who are able to break from the norm are shut down in society because of the threat they possess.
The message being conveyed to viewers throughout this commerical is that as cosumers, we have to be aware of the companies who want profit from us, rather than work for us. As consumers, it is easy get sucked into a companies' marketing, especially when majority of the people around us go for it as well. Often those who are able to not get sucked into a corperation, are left unheard.
The Definition of 'Meaning'
Meaning. Usually one would search for the meaning of something else, but what is meaning initially? To me personally, meaning is an insight, an outlook a person has. Meaning is expressing your emotion and thoughts, which you base on experiences and accounts you have been through during your life.
Meaning, in my mind, is a form of expression, of a way of thought, an insight you have to convey to yourself and to others.
My experiences let me express meaning through the way I talk, the way I think, all coming down to the unique way of who I am because of the outlooks I have on the world around me.
Other’s influences, the environment’s influences, and everything around me plays a part in how I feel about meaning. But when it comes down to it, it’s personal. No one can take away my perspective and my view on finding out the meaning of everything.Through this thought and inquiry I’ve realized that “meaning” is no longer defined for me by the dictionary, but of how I see it, my own meaning of meaning.

The Two Ways to Look at Life
Random or connected?
I guess I could say that I do tend to believe everything in life is connected; things that occur, occur for a reason as apposed to events happening randomly. In Chuck Klosterman’s article “Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs”, he groups one’s outlook in life into two categories: events happen for a reason or life’s events are out of pure luck. I find I consider that everything that takes doesn’t just happen out of luck because I personally want to believe that the people I meet, the places I go to, and the events I'm faced with happen for a reason, whatever that reason may be. Believing that everything happens for a reason gives me closure and makes me as an individual feel more secure about the things that take place around me. Although, sometimes events I’ve faced seem to make no sense and occur randomly, and often I want to believe life’s events happen out of luck. However, viewing what occurs through the reasoning of fate seems like a more rational way of looking at things.
