The article, “Shopping Trumps Turkey”, by Gregory Karp, argues between whether or not retailers should initiate Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving day. Karp considers that retailers should not commence the sales a day earlier. I agree with the author, due to the fact that the retailers that begin the sales on Thanksgiving day are careless and greedy, along with commanding people to not spend time with their families. Clearly, retailers should not release Black Friday sales a day earlier. To start off, experts say that the saying of retailers opening because the consumers are asking them to is false.

For my paper, I will be comparing the two websites, “Bass Pro Shops” and “Cabela's.” I’m extremely familiar with both of these websites, as well as their stores, because I’m an avid outdoorsman and spend the majority of my money at either of these companies. These two particular companies are a pretty interesting comparison right now as Bass Pro Shops just bought out the Cabela's brand and the future of Cabela's is unknown. The online rumors is that Cabelas will still be Cabelas, the brand will still exist and very little will change other than being owned by it’s main competition. To start my comparison, I am a little more biased towards Cabela’s between the two.

The creation of a character is difficult, but when done right the character can be a vivid embodiment of actual life events of the reader; for example, in the passage the author uses many elements of figurative language, as well as diction, syntax, and imagery to generate a unique lasting impression of Quoyle.

The author from the beginning sets him up as a failure.

Chick-Fil-A Case Study Despite being a fast-food restaurant, Chick-Fil-A is widely known for its exceptional customer service. Part of the reason they have incredible customer service is because they have made it their mission to “get better before getting bigger.” Even though Chick-Fil-A has thousands of less stores than its competitors, it has made business all about the customer and it is paying off in large profits and continual growth. Chick-Fil-A’s customer service plan is two-fold: to go the “second mile” and to give the customers something to do.
As studied by Janet Siskind, the American Thanksgiving celebration is actually a very detailed ritual that contains many symbols. Similar to other rituals, the holiday reinforces certain social structures and “…reaffirms values and assumptions about cultural and social unity, about identity and history, about inclusion and exclusion” (168). The Thanksgiving ritual is centered around a return home, as people traveled from their urban homes back to their rural home to meet with their larger family. As a result, “the household became the site of ritual performance…” (175). The goal of the Thanksgiving ritual was to reaffirm the family and renew traditional ties, especially as more people had started moving into the cities around the time that the holiday became popular in the United States (176).
