Fred Meyer

Fred Meyers store originally started by a man named Fred G. Meyer and he was a 22 year old that came from Portland, Oregon in 1908. He started a business selling coffee out of his horse-drawn cart from the hard working fielders to the lumber camps. He would watch and listen to his customers, and was planning to start a whole completely different new kind of store. He opened his first store in 1922 in Portland, Oregon at the corner of SW 5th & Yamhill. He placed all the groceries, clothes, and many other things you would normally have to go to several stores to get. He put an expert in charge at each department and called it one stop shopping. The board of directors is requesting a report on customer service. The Fred Meyers location on Johnson…

Researching the idea behind Mr. Meyer’s project helped me understand his project and why his items were appealing. Fred Meyer used his descriptions to tell a story for every item that he was selling on the internet. It was apparent that his goal was to attract buyers who wanted to be a part of his journey and his experience, not just a purchase. Why else would anyone purchase an open box of taco shells from a random person? His project seemed less about making money and more about inviting…

upon the trilogy (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay) by Suzanne Collins earned a rating of 14 + age group. The literary version relating the journey of Katniss Everdeen attempting to free Panem from a dictator is deemed suitable for a younger audience. The use of poetic license by visual media to increase the viewer appeal may contribute to the variance in age appropriateness. The Twilight series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn) by Stephenie Meyer is a good…

“Vampires and Vixens” written by Alison Happel and Jennifer Esposito is an article written to educate and advise readers of present feministic and post-feministic controversy veiled in today’s media, specifically in the movie ‘Twilight’ directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The two authors express their concerns about the film by addressing the film itself, the teachings of popular culture, post-feminism, and sexualized violence. Even though the article “Vampires and Vixens” did contradict itself…

Societal interest in the vampire has waxed and waned throughout the ages though they have remained ever present. Vampires have gone through many evolutions, as have their admirers and audience. Throughout the centuries they have been portrayed as dreaded creatures of the night, beings to be pitied, and, in recent years, as love interests. The evolution of vampires can be traced back throughout history using their presence in mythology, literature, and film. Vampires, like most creatures of…

Over the last couple centuries there have been many tales of the creatures of the night. Two of the most famous are Vampires and Werewolves. In the stories told of them they are almost always natural enemies. Fighting to the death over who knows what. Money? Power? Kristen Stewart? They’re alike in a lot of ways, but also different. Werewolves were thought to have originated in Europe, but a lot of the original stories came from Native Americans. The origination of vampirism did however…

Tossing and turning, I could not sleep the night before our cruise to Ensenada, Mexico. Excitement had gotten the best of me. It was the day of the cruise. We all met 5:30am sharp outside of our friend Aaron’s house. All of us carpooled together in Joey’s car and hit the road to Long Beach, California; where it is the home of the Carnival Corporation’s Long Beach Cruise Terminal. When we arrived we can see all the cruise ships that were departing that day. First we went through the terminals,…
