Snickers like the candy bar? No. Sneakers like the shoe.
This article was perhaps interesting. Brands target certain people based on what they like, and mutual brands and items. People now a days wear specific clothing because of the image it promotes, and the image behind it. I also believe that the celebrities make a huge impact on who buys the item. For example, Kim Kardashian. Herself and her sisters own a clothing line, which they promote day by day. People like us, want to be dressed with the "latest" clothing available. Which makes us buy things even more if a celebrity promotes them. Although, I also believe there are people who wear a certain brand not because of the look, but on the comfort and the ability to buy the product.
The Ending of The Giver.
We currently finished reading The Giver. Although I hardly even read, I found this book a bit unique and interesting. It made me see the world differently. The fact that they had "Sameness" and what not all throughout the book, made it interesting to read. Towards the end, I am confused whether the died in the snow, or is Jonas dreaming? In my point of view, I think it depends on the reader. The ending is a bit ambiguous and allows the reader to make their own decision at the end of the book.
Ideal Community.
My Ideal Community I chose, was viewed via PowerPoint. I partnered up with Cesar Ruiz and decided to make it happen. We wanted to be a little bit unique with this assignment, and decided to narrow it down to one of the themes from The Giver; Sameness. Our community is basically based off equality. No one is left behind. Although it wasn't the best due to our images and short slides, I still think we nailed it when it came to the project in general.
