Compare And Contrast Macy's Santa

Decent Essays
Last year, Macy’s Department Store in New York had a shortage of men to play santa so they hired 5 women to play the part of santa.

There are many differences and similarities between the two.

If you were comparing Macy’s santa and Wellington’s santa some facts would be they would both be in a red santa suit so they look like santa. They both could eat cookies. They are probably not be as fat as the real santa, and they might have to put on a fake beard and hair.

    After reading 'The Junky's Christmas', it reminded me of ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens. They both illustrate how a self-serving, insensitive person can be converted into charitable, caring, and socially conscious members of society.

    “The Scar”, by Kildare Dobbs, is a moving, emotional account of the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. The author creates interest as well as suspense by using two storylines. One follows the experiences of a 15 year old Japanese girl, Emiko. The other, in great contrast, follows the story of an American co-pilot, Captain Robert Lewis, who was aboard the Enola Gay, a US Air Force B-29, that carried the first operational atom bomb. Throughout the narrative, the author switches back and forth between these two accounts which creates situational irony as the reader experiences both sides of the story, however, the two characters remain unaware of each other.…
