I need help on my essay what another reason why you should be able to sneak a snack into the movie

English
1 answer:
lyudmila [28]2 years ago

Answer:

Sneaking food into a movie is

pretty tempting. For one thing, the

options at the concession stand are

almost always junk food—nachos,

candy, giant greasy pretzels.

Then there are the prices. Why

pay $5 for a bag of M&Ms when

you can get them for a buck at the

corner store? Besides, it's not like

you aren't already paying big bucks

for your ticket.

Earlier this year, a Michigan

man decided to fight for his right

to snack. Joshua Thompson is

suing his local AMC theater after it

banned outside food. He argues the

ban violates a Michigan law that

prevents businesses from charging

outrageous prices.

"He got tired of being taken

advantage of," Thompson's lawyer

told the Detroit Free Press. "It's hard

to justify prices that are three

and four times higher than

anywhere else."

Most legal experts believe

Thompson has little chance of

winning his case, but he does have

a point; 85 cents out of every doUar

of treats a movie theater sells is

pure profit.

How do they get away with it?

The Snack Business

The truth is that movie theaters

28 SCHOLASTIC SCOPE • MAY 14, 2012

are more in the snack business than

the movie business. A huge chunk

of what you spend on a ticket

goes to the HoUywood studio that

made the movie. This makes sense,

since studios fund the production,

hire the stars, and pay for the

advertising that draws crowds to

the movies in the first place.

But that often doesn't leave

much cash for the theater, which

has its own costs. Theater owners

have to pay their employees, keep

their buildings clean, and provide

the latest high-tech projection

equipment. "If we can't keep a

majority ofthat ticket price there's

only one way that we can pay for

everything... and that's at the

concession stand," says movie

theater owner Jon Goldstein.

If customers stopped buying

food, owners would have to raise

ticket prices even higher.

How is stone fox and Sara sees red different
lord [1]

Answer:

Stone fox and Sara sees red is different because the main character of stone fox, Willy, is determined to finish the race he has joined. Although at first, no one encouraged him to do that, in the middle of the race, when he saw his Grandfather looking and waving in he goes, that he was even more motivated. Unlike Sara, the main character of Sara sees red, she tried to escape reality by hiking away from your problem. When he met the woman who was hurt, I felt that even despite how painful that the woman was, she tried to ask someone for help.

The root mal means bad or evil. Can you defermine what the word maleficent means by using
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The word maleficent means causing harm especially by supernatural means, and we can determine this because the root 'mal' means evil as stated, and maleficent is a term used for evil occurences (specifically in movies and stuff)

Explanation:

So you can determine that the adjective describes something evil or bad because of the use of the root :) Sorry if this isn't specific enough, but it's quite straight forward to me at least so I don't know how to elaborate if you need a more formal answer
