"Black Friday is a scam. You should be mad they overcharge you 364 days a year. 'Unknown". Black Friday is the day where there are great deals, low prices, and discounts. That is what you would think you got out of Black Friday, but is it worth your money? Who wouldn’t want great deals on new items or items that are unnecessary? To me, Black Friday doesn’t save the consumer money because its time isn't worth it. I believe black Friday is taken way too seriously; coming home with black and blues…

Imagine Dragons song Believer is actually a really big story. The meaning of the song goes along with children and adults alike.

Black Friday, corrects for the out of place joy the holiday brings to the dreary wintertime by completely opposing its basic principles. Where Thanksgiving brings appreciation and contemplation, Black Friday brings an insatiable appetite and a total disregard for others. While the dangers and rewards of Black Friday may often be exaggerated, total success will be a challenge. With enough planning and preparation any Black Friday goals can be achieved. In less dramatic terms, Black Friday is the…

Samantha Pritchard Mrs. Weathers ENG 101 B80 29 September 2015 “Jesus Freak” or Jesus Fake “Christian” is a common label in today’s society.

I wish Black Friday did not exist and that we focused only on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving for my family is a time for reflection on the past year and celebrate our time together with a well-prepared meal and some football. We all laugh and have a great time. This is exactly how companies succeed and why Black Friday continues to flourish. The term Black Friday refers to retail companies go "into the black," which means make a profit. In our excitement to be with our families, we are already…
