The poem and short story are both in 1st person. They both have numerous characters, and have a point to the story. In “Araby” the little boy wanted to go to the fair; however, his father got home so late that by the time he made it to the fairs most of the rides were closed or were closing.

Cayden, I am writing you today to give you some logical reasons not to smoke. The most important reason not to smoke to me is because I lost a truly great friend due to cancer from cigarettes. Another reason is it causes so many health issues besides cancer. The last thing is that I know that you are smart enough to make good decisions, and I want to make sure I have done all I can to make sure you don’t make a life changing mistake. So let’s discuss these reasons.


 * Journal Prompt 4. ** Find an [|advertising slogan] and write a descriptive paragraph about what an ad for that slogan should contain: discuss target audience, sensory details, and purpose. 1 para

“Save money. Live better.” This slogan is heard almost every time you turn on the T.V. Walmart has one of the largest target audiences on the market. With their good customer service and very low prices the y have built their clientele base to include almost everyone in the United States. With the statement “Live better.” Makes the customer feel that if they shop at Walmart they will have a better life.


 * Journal Prompt 5. ** Read this [|article] about bad advertisement. Discuss one advertisement you've seen or heard that you believe is poor advertisement--describe the ad so that a person reading your discription could visualize the ad without seeing it. Then discuss why you believe the ad is bad. 2 para

Any Burger King commercial does not sell the product it puts the name Burger King out there. The commercial were the “Burger King” dumps water on a sleeping man, and says “don’t go to sleep before the King” which means that Burger King is open late nights. I believe this is a very bad ad. It does not advertise their product in anyway. The “King” playing tricks on sleeping people doesn’t make any reference to food, and the statement “don’t go to sleep before the King” does not imply that you should go to Burger King to eat late at nights.


 * Journal Prompt 6. ** Search the internet or a magazine to find a "good" advertisement. Describe the ad so that a reader may visualize it without seeing the ad. Discuss why you believe the advertisement is good. 2 para

At the top of the black and white page there is white lettering that reads “ACQUA DI GIO” and beneath that in smaller lettering it states “For Men” it has a man that is clean cut and has gelled back hair. At the bottom of the page it states “GIORGIO ARMANI” it gives you a sample of the clone. This advertisement is good not only because it apples to men but woman as well. It allows the customer to smell the product and makes the customer want to buy this product. It appeals to men because of the man in the ad is attractive and it puts the message that if you buy this clone you will look like the man in the picture
