Answer:
Should companies continue targeting kids in their advertisement's?
Explanation:
Kids represent an important demographic to marketers because in addition to their own purchasing power (which is considerable) they influence their parents’ buying decisions and are the adult consumers of the future.According to the 2008 YTV Kids and Tweens Report, kids influence: Breakfast choices (97% of the time) and lunch choices (95% of the time). Where to go for casual family meals (98% of the time) (with 34% of kids always having a say on the choice of casual restaurant). Clothing purchases (95% of the time). Software purchases (76% of the time) and computer purchases (60% of the time). Family entertainment choices (98% of the time) and family trips and excursions (94% of the time). As a result, industry spending on advertising to children has exploded over the past two decades. In the United States alone, companies spent over $17 billion doing this in 2009 – more than double what was spent in 1992. Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes and postponing having children until later in life mean that families have more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids.
Answer:
This quote is part of the last line of Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game." The rest of the sentence reveals that it is Rainsford who is enjoying the bed. This means Rainsford finally defeated and killed General Zaroff. Earlier, Rainsford came ashore on Zaroff's private island, which Zaroff uses to hunt men. Throughout the deadly contest between the two men, Rainsford only barely staved off the relentless Zaroff in their cat-and-mouse game across the length of the island. In the end, Rainsford jumped from the cliffs across from Zaroff's chateau. Zaroff believed Rainsford to be dead, but Rainsford was able to swim ashore and hide in Zaroff's bedroom, where he confronts the general. As soon as he discovers Rainsford, Zaroff promptly congratulates his foe on winning the game, but Rainsford is not satisfied and says he is "still a beast at bay." Pleased by the game will continue, Zaroff says,
Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed. On guard Rainsford.
Since Rainsford is comfortable in the bed in the final line, he ultimately defeated the general. The reader might also assume Zaroff was then fed to the dogs ("a repast for the hounds"), but this is never explicitly stated.
Explanation:
The last line leaves the reader to infer that Rainsford has killed Zaroff, contrasting Zaroff's chilling death with Rainsford's rewarding night's sleep.
This quote is part of the last line of Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game." The rest of the sentence reveals that it is Rainsford who is enjoying the bed. This means Rainsford finally defeated and killed General Zaroff. ... The other will sleep in this very excellent bed.
