When the Tatelman brothers took over the business, they changed their mode of advertising. They realized that by limiting their advertising to newspapers, they were potentially missing out on a whole demographic of people that needed furniture, which would be 18-34 year olds. This demographic was starting to move out on their own, starting families, and needed furniture. By moving from newspapers to funny radio ads and later funny TV ads, Barry and Eliot were able to draw in more customers, especially the demographic they were targeting (Iacobucci, 2013). Before they started to add in the extra shopping experiences, they had customers waiting to get into their third store. Once they added the entertainment portions of the store, they were able to draw in more customers. Even if the customer is only there to take part in the entertainment aspect of the store, which is in the back of every store, they do have to walk through the showroom first. By walking through the showroom a first time customer could see a room design or one piece of furniture that catches their eye. Each customer has a different shopping experience, whether it be at one store or multiple Jordan’s Furniture

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a controversial yet inspirational novel which addresses the harsh realities of racism and its impact on people’s lives. Arguably one of the most famous characters in the book is Atticus Finch, a lawyer who resides in the fictional small town of Maycomb, Alabama. Throughout the novel, Atticus is shown to have a rather rare view within the town with his non-racist ideology. This more progressive, world view of his is demonstrated during his trial defending Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white woman. During his closing argument in the aforementioned trial, Atticus Finch uses his position as a lawyer and well-respected citizen to call out the need to conform to self-imposed societal norms –and

Despite Abercrombie & Fitch’s efforts to win back loyal consumers with their new rebranding initiative, the company continues to experience a decline in annual revenue and dismal growth coupled with a poor return on investment, making it a risky investment option for potential shareholders.

This is very ironic because the puritans are very negative towards the people that stand on the scaffold. Both the scaffold and the puritans represent some sort of evil and a form of disrespect.
