Assignment 8

            This article had a lot of facts and things that backed up what it had to say. I think that’s why I loved this article so much. The article had more then 20 cites and what made it interesting was that they were all a bunch of different types of cites. (Brochure, articles, books, etic.) I think by it having so many different types of cites and so many cites in general it gave you a lot of different kinds of information and statistics. She used maybe only a sentence from some of the cites but sometimes that’s all her statements needed to back it up. I think one of the most interesting things is that some of the cites to back up the facts but are actual facts. “We build the romance design into everyone of our stores) (Ruzich, p. 432). That’s a fact from the starbucks brochure stating that how they build their store instead of show statistically showing you how they build their store. “We wanted to introduce them to fine coffee the way wine sturdiest introduce fine wine.” This is another example of how this citation explains how they wanted their coffee to be and for what type of people. Its not backing up a statistic it’s a fact but not just a fact it then has an example of what they mean by comparing fine wine with their coffee. I think a lot of people think that citing and researching things are to just back up what their idea of the topic is, but in all reality you can use it as the facts. I also think that people don’t cite enough things and have the same opinion from the same book or article but having a variety of articles gives your paper a variety of opinions and gives you more facts and things that can back up your paper.
