Carwash: Similarities And Differences

Decent Essays
A great way for a library to raise money is to allow different proposals for different fundraisers, specifically two different proposals which a committee representing the community will decide which is the most logistically feasible. The two fundraisers the committee will take into account are a proposal for a library book sale and a proposal for a carwash. Though the book sale and the carwash have their similarities and differences, the carwash is the most reliable fundraiser to generate more funds for the library. The library book sale and carwash have many similarities. For example, they both rely on volunteer work and raising money for the library. The book sale requires volunteers to organize the donated books into categories and arrange …show more content…
By way of representation, the book sale appeals to individuals of all ages who find joy in reading books, from children to the elderly - these individuals can also sign up for library cards if they do not find a book of their liking. However, the car wash appeals to those who are not specifically interested in books, but are rather interested in having a clean car and has no way for people to come back to the library due to the slim connection a carwash and a library.

On the other hand, the carwash plans to charge ten dollars per car washed. This raises the question as to which fundraiser will raise the most money? Taking the similarities and differences between the fundraiser proposals of the library book sale and carwash, it is best to say the second proposal, otherwise known as the carwash fundraiser, is the most logistically feasible and will generate the most money for the library. The carwash will charge nearly twenty five more times money than the book sale which will make it a more profitable fundraiser for the

    Moreover, it was very costly for the competitors to imitate what Harlequin’s was already able to leverage over their competitors with the market share that they had established. Harlequin series readers were brand loyal; four of five readers would continue to purchase their product from a survey conducted.

    The Industrial Revolution, which took place from the 18th to 19th century, was a period during which mainly farming, rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urban. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, manufacturing was often done in people’s homes, using handtools or basic machines. Industrialization marked a shift to powered, special-purpose machinery, factories, and mass production. While industrialization brought about an increased volume and variety of manufactured goods and an improved standard of living for some, it also resulted in often grim employment and living conditions for the poor and working classes. The beginning of the gold rush further exacerbated these conditions.…

    The main method of persuasion in the paragraph is the pathos appeal. The author of the blurb is specifically targeting the audience’s heart, making us feel sad and responsible for pediatric cancer. These feelings of sorrow and responsibility will lead the audience to nominating Bear Necessities as the Charity Drive charity in order to make themselves feel better because they improved the situation. The author also was very knowledgeable regarding the audience’s constraints; he/she knew that high school students are very accessible, and have the power to make large changes due to massive numbers. Furthermore, the author knew that the audience (high school students) was going to easily be persuaded because high school students are also kids and…

In fact, they lead us to believe our small donation will make a lasting difference in this animal’s life. Surely, by the end of this advertisement we fight the urge to cry, by giving the ASPCA $18 a month.…
