Next Friday

Introduction On November 24th I got in my car, and drove down to my local mall. I did this to observe the new American tradition of Black-Friday. Black-Friday is a consumer holiday of sorts, that immediately follows Thanksgiving, and serves as the immediate transition into the Christmas season. It must be noted that this transition takes place nearly a full month prior to the holiday itself, creating a “Holiday Season”, rather than a day itself. I choose this site as it was similar to most…

Black Friday, a time of the year when everything is on sale and almost everyone is in mood of shopping. It is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. During Black Friday, the retail stores come up with many giant sales promotions and door-buster sales events. For most of the people the main attractions on Black Friday are the discounts on electronic goods and appliances. Other than that, people buy almost everything just because it’s Black Friday. They think that if it is…

Many people across the country take part in Black Friday, which is considered the first day of shopping for the Christmas season. It has become very common to see fights between eager shoppers fighting over discounted items, but Malia Pattison, a 13 year old, was lucky to not witness and experience this while shopping this weekend. Malia traveled from her hometown in Wisconsin to Minnesota for both Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Her father, Gregg, sister, Shayla, and friend Tristan…

On Friday, November 20th, 2015 I received the RealCare baby simulation. The baby simulation started at around 6:00 pm on Friday and ended 48 hours later on Sunday. Initially when I first received the RealCare baby simulation, I was excited to see what would happen. I was sincerely looking forward to taking care of the baby, and really wanted to start as soon as possible so I could get the assignment over with and have fun with it at the same time. As I was carrying the baby in its car seat, my…

Thanksgiving? The most I've seen have had leaves and maybe a cornucopia and really only enough scattered throughout the store to fill a half to one whole aisle. It seems that our national holiday is only truly named and observed within "leaked" black friday ads, alerting you to when the advertised deals start. This never really bothered me in the past. As a little girl Thanksgiving was all about the Macy's Parade, the dog show, food, and the countdown until santa claus and presents galore. I…

the most shopped on day in the US, was an interesting one. I’ve always thought Black Friday was something that shouldn’t be as advertised as it is, I went only one year and after that I have never went again. It had nothing to do with Black Friday itself. But, waiting in long lines for something that is probably going to be on sale again isn’t something that I find enjoyable. Now, since they also start Black Friday on Thanksgiving, it makes me not want to do it even more so. I don’t like that…

Dream of the Rood allows the audience to remember the story of the crucifixion and how it made them feel. The emphasis is on the cross and the loyalty is gives to Christ. To connect with his audience, the narrator breaks his dream into three parts. To get the full effect, we must remember how the story of the crucifixion made us feel. Dream of the Rood is similar to Christian George Stevens’ The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) because both show commitment to the cross. The GSET takes the most…

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving Day, traditionally the opening of the Christmas shopping period. Black Friday is an unofficial holiday, but many workers no longer have that day off as part of the Thanksgiving holiday, for the increased number of shoppers seen over the years. Merchants often decorate for the Christmas and holiday season beforehand skipping over Halloween and Thanksgiving. All the stores not just department stores promising great deals, super-fantastic sales, and lower…

Greed is something that affects us all. It can change a person completely weather it’s for the good or the bad. In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge was a greedy, rich, and lonely man. When 3 ghosts visited him, they presented Scrooge’s past, present and future. Scrooge realized that he needed to change in order for a better future. In It’s A Wonderful Life, George Bailey and his bank lost $8,000. George started to only care about the money and took his family and friends for granted. His guardian…

Auntie Anne’s At Carolina Place Mall: Employees vs. Customers. A common thing many people in America do on the weekend is go to a mall. The mall is a place where both, parents and children, have the opportunity to shop, eat, and amuse themselves. Carolina Place Mall is a mall located in Pineville, North Carolina. This specific mall is not exactly the biggest mall in Charlotte, however, it does have a variety of clothing stores, specialty stores, and fast food restaurants. It is true that…
