shopping

Today after school i went to the mall to try to look for a homecoming dress at the fox valley mall. I was walking into different stores to try to look for a nice dress but i couldn't really find a dress in one store i went. While i was on my way to look into a different store a guy who works at one of the stands outside of the stores came up to me and asked me questions on straightening my hair. He was trying to sell me a "special" straightener that would curl and straighten my hair. He said it cost two-twenty but that he would sell it to me for one hundred and twenty. As he was trying to convince me to buy the straightener he used very weird ways to persuade me to buy the straightener. He kept telling me to hold the straightener so that i would have the temptation to buy it. His technique of trying to persuade me where not good at all. I kept asking him how much the straightener was and he just kept saying the price doesn't matter look how nice it leaves your hair.
    It made me realize that as we are learning in class right now American culture is. Americans when they try to sell you something anything they try their hardest to make you buy it.. They use language that will persuade you to fall into temptation and buy it. Even thought they know the product is not so good they have to make people make buys so that their business goes good. This shows how our culture is a pop culture because we  are propagated by media. we look at the t.v., malls, and decide the things we purchase.
