...HELP MILLER HIGH-LIFE SAVE AMERICA’S EAGLES (1986) English 112 – Composition Due 7/23/12 What do Freedom, Liberty and Independence mean to Americans? That’s all the bald eagle represents for the United States, as it was accepted as the National Bird in 1782. In 1986, Miller High-Life used the bald eagle in an ad; an ad that displays an eagle soaring through the sky freely. There’s an article on the ad stating, “Our national symbol faces extinction and to look for Miller High-Life products at our favorite retail store during the Fourth of July holiday and find out to help Miller keep our magnificent eagles soaring forever.” Miller High-Life products also stand over their slogan which reads “Made the American Way”. With patriotism in mind, the ad uses Ethos, Pathos and Logos to reach out to the American public and together they can save the eagles. The author clearly displays ethos in the ad “Help Miller High-Life Save America’s Eagles” by the authority eagles have in the sky. Being that eagles really don’t have any predators other than man, we can save their species by coming together. Credibility is displayed in the ad because the bald eagle represents the United States as the national symbol. Using the products slogan “Made the American Way” and “Our National Symbol Faces Extinction” emphasizes the authority and credibility America portrays. Pathos is clearly displayed by informing the American public that the national symbol faces extinction. Hoping to get...

...The coniferous forest is located in Canada, Europe, Asia, and the United States. The temperature ranges from -40 Celsius to 20 Celsius. Average summer temperature is 10 Celsius. Yearly precipitation varies from 30 to 90 centimeters per year. Coniferous forest regions have cold, long, snowy winters, and warm, humid summers. They have well-defined seasons, and at least four to six frost-free months. There are two types of Coniferous forests: 1. Open, lichen woodland, which has trees, spaced far apart with lichen growing between them. 2. Closed forests, which have trees very close together and a shaded, moss-covered forest floor. The major aquatic zones of the coniferous forest are marine, freshwater, and brackish. The average salinity of marine is 3%, freshwater 1% or less, and brackish mixture of salt and fresh. Clear-cut logging is the biggest threat to the Coniferous forest. Replanting after logging leads to single-species conifer monocultures. Clear cutting accelerates soil erosion, degrades wildlife habitat and leads to the loss of biodiversity. The land is being cleared for ski slopes, landfills, housing, and new roads. In Canada, one acre of forest is cut every 12.9 seconds! Mining operations is another threat to the Coniferous forests because of the chemicals used in mining and the silt released by mining. Road construction destroys the forest and also acts as a barrier to wildlife. Roads isolate populations of species from feeding grounds, natural migration routes and...

...Trends in Popular American Culture University Of Phoenix Introduction to Popular American Culture SOC 105 Michael Hilley November 11, 2009 Trends in Popular American Culture Trends in popular American culture, what we value and idolize will influence where we go in life. Where we look in life will often determine where we go, and how we end up. From my viewpoint now and what I see in friends in the media and in the values of the groups I belong to I can see where my future is heading. These trends are setting the course. This can be changed and have a profound influence on others that I am around and even those that are seemingly unconnected to me once I begin to take a different viewpoint or approach. One can never have too many viewpoints in life but, also when you really think about it the change in viewpoints were probably constructed in a market focus group by people who engineer trends in popular American culture. A shocking trend is gaining ground in teen dressing. For example, last summer, my 13-year-old daughter needed a dress to attend a friend's birthday dinner. What we found was a black “something” (is what I will call it) with a neckline so low that my condition for buying it was a fill-in-the-gap black undergarment. She was not happy about it but complied. This June, for her eighth-grade graduation, my daughter debated between a slinky blue dress with a plunging neckline which to me had more of a lounge...

...{draw:frame} Abercrombie and Fitch Case Study 4/21/2010 Executive Summary: Abercrombieand Fitch was Founded as a High Quality sporting goods store in 1982 by David Abercrombie. Abercrombie Co opened its first store in Manhattan, New York with the intention of providing high quality equipment to an elite segment of the market. Throughout the years, Abercrombie and Fitch Co has proven itself to be able to adapt to the constant changing retail market and has slowly evolved in the retail giant we are familiar with today. Abercrombie and Fitch currently employ a focused differentiation strategy where they target customers ages 12-25. Instead of using conventional methods of strengthening their brand through advertising and a squeaky clean image, A&F instead takes full advantage of controversy and word of mouth advertizing in order to gain their customer base. It is through A&F’s unorthodox methods that they have been able to establish themselves as a highly desirable, high quality apparel retailer and due to these factors they are able to charge a premium price for their products. A&F’s current strategies have helped them to not only establish themselves in the United States, but they are now poised to expand into the global market. With the recent opening of flagship locations in Tokyo, London, Milan, A&F now has a solid foothold to tap into the Western European and Asian Markets. With the potential in these foreign markets, A&F should realize high levels of growth...

The bald eagle is an endangered species and is the only unique eagle found on the North America continent. The bald eagle gets its name from an old English word, “balde” which means “white,” not “hairless.” You can find bald eagles in every U. S. state except Hawaii. 80% of the bald eagles in the United States are found in Alaska. The Liberty Bell is a huge bronze bell that symbolizes freedom in the United States of America. This historic bell is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The bell was originally cast in 1752 in London, England...

...Hello, I am Bryson Mills. I am a senior at Hulett High School in Hulett, Wyoming. If was an animal, I would be a Bald Eagle. Since I was a little boy, I have always admired the way they gracefully soar through the sky. If I were an Eagle, I would fly about North America and visiting all of the great places, with a bird’s eye view of the world. Experiencing the world from above would gain me perspective. Viewing the world from above could give me a different view of life, as Eagles have five to six times better vision than humans. This new perspective would reveal details not noticeable to the human eye. The freedom and dignity I would gain from being an Eagle would not be comparable to anything humanly possible. Not many other animals are...

Also, it has its own sport called American football which is also known as football locally in America. This sport is not played anywhere else except United State, and other countries have tried it but didn’t succeed. In fact, America has it own measuring system known as US customary system which is a really old system used by British until the metric system was introduced. Being an American also means that you have right to vote anyone you want whether it is president or a mayor. Therefore, being an American means being unique in its own way whether it's sport, culture, measuring things or believing what's right. Their many symbols that...

...These hawks usually eat salmon, rabbits, chickens, mice, and other rodents. Red-Tailed Hawks are usually found around lakes. Mostly, they wait on a branch of a tree to hear a swish of a fin or a splash, which they can hear from many feet away with their incredible sense of hearing. Immediately, the Hawk dives it’s claws into the lake. The Red-Tailed Hawk comes out with a fish. For them, it is very easy to catch a meal! Or, in a grassy plain, a little squeak may come from the thick of the grass. The Hawk hears that too and dives down and pulls out a rodent with its beak! This raptor is very fierce! On the other hand, the Red-Tailed Hawk still has some predators that can annihilate them. After all, the American Bald Eagle is higher on the food chain then the Red-Tail. Bald Eagles are so incredibly tough, that they can catch a Hawk in the air and take it to the ground. Later, either eating it or feeding it to her chicks. Although the hawk is tough, it obviously has a dangerous enemy! Well, even though the Red-Tailed Hawk has some weaknesses, its strengths outnumber that ten to one! The Red-Tail’s senses and powerful body are a key part to the bird’s survival. Thanks to it’s incredible sense of smell, it is able to detect dead or living things from far away. Another fact would be that the Red-Tailed Hawk has incredible eyesight, thus allowing it to see colors even in the ultraviolet range! Astonishingly, this hawk can carry up to sixty pounds, so keep a good eye on your chihuahua...

...” In his narration he uses many rhetorical strategies such as metaphor, irony, and juxtaposition, to create a vivid and clear picture of his life. The Custom House in itself is very ironic. It talks about the process it took Hawthorne to write “The Scarlet Letter”. In his narration he describes how hard it was for him to put his great idea on paper. How difficult it was to translate his thoughts into a well put together novel. The irony in this is that we, the readers, know that he has successfully written “The Scarlet Letter”. Hawthorne describes the town where the custom house is located, Salem. He describes a building that has an American Bald Eagle in front of it. “With it’s arms outstretched…. a foul face…. ready to lash out at whatever threatens mischief.” I believe Hawthorne is using a metaphor to say that the Eagle is a Puritan. The Eagle, like the Puritans are quick to judge, and happy to kick you out once you have in fact ‘created mischief’.Hawthorne is at odds throughout the Custom House, almost denying his connection to the Puritans. Confused as to how and “idler” like himself could have come from such noble lineage. Thus, Hawthorne believes that his experience in the Custom House wasn't enough to continue writing again. “It is anything but agreeable to be haunted by the suspicion that one’s intellect is dwindling away.” He mocks everyday life as he begins thinking about writing once more. He makes an analogy to the dwindling phial that is emitting and evaporating...
