                          Footlocker is a very smart company , they purposely use professtional ahtleles to advertise their product . This a technique called Testimonials ,which means when you invole a celebrity or professtional that supports a product.Also another technique was uesd called eomotional appeal. This means you try to make people feel a certain way. For examle, happy,sad or funny. Testimonial was used because two pro basketball players were used. Emotional appeal was used when one of the basketball players sing horribly. These techniques are effective because they make it look like the product is so good by using pro sports players. So people who like that certain sports play will buy those shoes. Also the commercial is enjoyable. Due to the fact it makes you laugh.Now you'll remeber Foot Looker.



                                         My personal thoughts


               I have been to Foot Looker numerous amounts of times , and frankly, I enjoy it. I get to see to coolest shoes .However, the shoes can be a bit pricey , there are well worth it . The shoes last at least 6 months , and you can also buy other accessories  . Such as, snap backs, socks for football and basketball , shirts and shoe cleaners. The service is kind and helpful . The staff never lose their cool helping a customer . Foot Looker target men a women from the age of 13-30. I believe Foot Looker will be very successful because there sell you high quality merchandise , and people are willing to pay a little more money to get the stuff that last and the coolest styles.

The First of China

                                        Intorduction





                         How do you think China started? How this country was united? This is how China became China.

                                         The First Emperor of China


                         On 259 B.C   the emperor of China was born,Qin Shi Huang.  According to the artcile on Live Science this emperor took his powers to far . He forced his people to make an army of terra cotta clay . This took 36 years  to complete and 700,000 were made, no face the same . During that time emperor was taking his powers to far, and his people tryed to kill him . However , Qin Shi escaped these murders . As years past, the grew older hoping for a ruler after his death. On September 10th 210 B.C Qin Shi Huang died.Then his people decided to smash the army to pieces . 36 years over hard work went down the drain

                                         Personal Thoughts 


                 Honestly, I would of hated to work for that emperor if I lived back then. According to a video on our class blog this emperor drug some of his people and buried them alive! Also he forced his people to make an army out of clay , which   took 36 years. Think about how sore your hands would be, and no choice to do it or you could have been killed. Do you know whats funny to me ? The way the army was found. A group of farmers were digging for wells and then found human size clay figures . It's was strange this happened .
I wish China had a better emperor .
