The article, “Shopping Trumps Turkey”, by Gregory Karp, argues between whether or not retailers should initiate Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving day. Karp considers that retailers should not commence the sales a day earlier. I agree with the author, due to the fact that the retailers that begin the sales on Thanksgiving day are careless and greedy, along with commanding people to not spend time with their families. Clearly, retailers should not release Black Friday sales a day earlier. To start off, experts say that the saying of retailers opening because the consumers are asking them to is false.

Leonard begins building his credibility with numerous scenarios where people were beyond their mind shopping for low priced products.

204 million pounds of turkey was wasted over Thanksgiving. Currently the United States is battling a major food waste crisis and between the holidays Thanksgiving and New Years, approximately 40 days, Americans creates 5 million tons of household waste. With wasting food, turkey especially, it's not just the nutrients that are thrown out; time, money, labor and a whole lot of gallons of water go into raising turkeys and to get them ready to be eaten. America is the leading contributor to the global food waste crisis due to the fact that most of America is lucky enough to have access to regular trash collection. Our country's oblivion to the waste problem impacts our society because wasting food is damaging to the environment.
As studied by Janet Siskind, the American Thanksgiving celebration is actually a very detailed ritual that contains many symbols. Similar to other rituals, the holiday reinforces certain social structures and “…reaffirms values and assumptions about cultural and social unity, about identity and history, about inclusion and exclusion” (168). The Thanksgiving ritual is centered around a return home, as people traveled from their urban homes back to their rural home to meet with their larger family. As a result, “the household became the site of ritual performance…” (175). The goal of the Thanksgiving ritual was to reaffirm the family and renew traditional ties, especially as more people had started moving into the cities around the time that the holiday became popular in the United States (176).
The creation of a character is difficult, but when done right the character can be a vivid embodiment of actual life events of the reader; for example, in the passage the author uses many elements of figurative language, as well as diction, syntax, and imagery to generate a unique lasting impression of Quoyle. The author uses many of these terms literally but he goes more in depth with Quoyle’s actual emotions and feelings towards the world. The author uses word and phrases such as “survived childhood,” “camouflaged torment,” and “stumbled” to show Quoyle’s lack of confidence and self worth. The author from the beginning sets him up as a failure.

For my paper, I will be comparing the two websites, “Bass Pro Shops” and “Cabela's.” I’m extremely familiar with both of these websites, as well as their stores, because I’m an avid outdoorsman and spend the majority of my money at either of these companies. These two particular companies are a pretty interesting comparison right now as Bass Pro Shops just bought out the Cabela's brand and the future of Cabela's is unknown. The online rumors is that Cabelas will still be Cabelas, the brand will still exist and very little will change other than being owned by it’s main competition. To start my comparison, I am a little more biased towards Cabela’s between the two.

Rough Draft Imagine a store, a struggling family business, that counts and depends on every dollar received, that is aware of the likelihood of failure if their daily income is not met. Now, imagine what would happen if for one day, this store and all others like it nationwide received no business. This would result in a forced raise in product price or cutbacks on other expenditures, like employee salary. All of which would eventually result in less business and thus less income. This is not a hypothetical, as such a movement exists.
