“Hurry up! We’re going to miss the boat!,” Sonali yelled back to her mom and dad who were running behind her in the hot Florida sun. As she was running, pulling her 1,000 pound suitcase and carrying a bulging green backpack, she caught a whiff of the ocean which smelled like a sewer. Dripping with sweat and tired from what seemed like an eternity of running down the mile long dock, they made it onto the boat just in time. The crew welcomed them by announcing “The Disney Dream welcomes the Ciolino

One of the platforms we decided to use for targeting “Old Glories” was print advertisements in magazines. Our goal was to keep the print simple but interesting. Silver Cruises is nice but not over the top; this is one of the reasons we picked the name silver instead of gold. Old Glories live comfortably but aren 't the wealthiest of people.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer follows Bella Swan through her romance with the vampire Edward Cullen. However, the novel is extremely harmful, especially to its young adult audience. Twilight's use of sexist stereotypes for its main characters and the portrayal of them as “ideal” makes it necessary to censor. From the first chapter of Twilight, Bella Swan is placed into the traditional stereotype of a damsel in distress. In this stereotype, the woman is a delicate beauty. Bella fits this description
