He refused to have the poem published despite its enthusiastic reception by everyone who read it. Evidently his argument that it was beneath his dignity fell on deaf ears, because the following Christmas "A Visit from St. Nicholas" found its way into the mass media after all when a family member cunningly submitted it to an out-of-town newpaper. The author mentions that as the years progressed, the Santa advertisement for the Coca-Cola Company had numerous images by many different artists. Most of the Santa art of the past featured Santa as the main subject. However, as the years continued, Santa plays an important part of the Christmas scene, but elves, children, pets and toys also have significant roles.
Chad r Dr. r ENC 1102 30 January 2011 www.toysfortots.org Evaluation A child without a toy on Christmas is a sad unthinkable thought. Sadly but true, millions of kids in America receive nothing for Christmas. The reason they don't get gifts and toys for Christmas is probably because they are growing up in a poor family. Putting toys in the desperate hands of unfortunate children during Christmas is the selfless goal that the non-profit organization Toys for Tots has. During the last three months of the year, Toys for Tots have collections to take in donations of toys for the children; in order to promote for donations, the non-profit organization uses their website to advertise.
They gain opinion and personality on what they hear and see. Not knowing any better, a child will naively believe what they are told, certain that it is true because they do not know better; it is part of life to learn that not everything one hears is accurate. Children are freshly exposed to life and must learn the ways of the world through their environment. If a child is told an extraordinary tale that would be seen as absurd in the minds of adults, said child may be willing to believe it despite obvious evidence against it—like Santa Clause.

Rodriguez watches his family depart and notices the sorrow and worry felt by his aging mother. He watches her wave goodbye "toward no one in particular," and cannot understand the exact reasons for her sorrow. After speaking to his father for the first time all night, he realizes that they are sad because they are so quickly losing touch with their children. Never again will their Christmases be the way they once were in the past. Maybe he feels a sense of guilt for being selfish in his own desires to become wealthy and successful and wishes he had realized that his parents, the people he owes so much to, still need love and affection.
Many come to the conclusion that people should expect to be as depressed and lost as the time of the Great Depression in the 1930s. However, consider some expectations. If the expectation is that there will not be as many expensive and materialistic items under the Christmas tree this year, children may focus less on the amount of gifts but instead focus on the one thing that they want the most in order to minimize many of the pressures of giving an “acceptable” gift (Eklund). In the eyes of children, they see their parents time is more important than their wallet. In his book Consumed: How Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole, Benjamin R. Barber quotes the song All You Need is Love by the Beatles, saying “That is especially what children need” (Barber 184).

The writer goes on to argue that ‘discipline isn't always easy for parents’ and that is is easy to let their ‘little misdemeanors’ go unnoticed. According to the writer, it is the parent’s responsibility to teach their children discipline and raise them as ‘good citizens’. With her use of repetition, Thornton makes it clear that smacking children is acceptable. Thornton’s argument is further strengthened through her use of anecdotes. She describes a personal situation that occurred while she was in the supermarket where a young boy in a trolley grabbed a chocolate at the checkout.
They may be any emotion: love, fear, patriotism, guilt, hate, joy, etc. In this ad sarcasm is being used to grab the viewer’s attention.

They are forced to live in very crowded places for example some are forced to live in a place where ten people are living in at the same time giving them no privacy to do their necessities. They live in places with no boundaries to separate them from one room to another. The children are faced to live with the risk of catching a deadly infection and non deadly infections due to not having any health insurance.

If it wasn’t for that I don’t think they would ever see one in their lives.
