writing for different audiences

20Nov08

When writing for an academic audience a paper needs to be longer in length to get more detail and research about the topic. When writing for an academic audience you want to focus on trying to teach about your topic. A works cited page is also needed when writing for academic audiences. When writing for a popular audience the paper can be more laid back. The paper should not be as long in length so as to not lose the focus of the reader. The paper does not need a bibliography unless the writer wants to put one with it. When writing for a popular audience the paper does not need to be as organized as when writing for an academic audience.

Cedar Point Ads

20Nov08

In my Analytical research project I learned about Cedar Point’s advertising. Cedar Point uses advertising on the television, radio and in the papers. When Cedar Point makes an ad on television or in print they use many bright colors and large print letters to catch the eye of the viewer. Cedar Point has been advertising for its park since 1870 when it wasn’t even a park at all it was just a beach where people could come and play in the water. Cedar Point’s advertising has been very effective over the years by getting the word out and attracting guests.

The future of fun (draft)

25Nov08

Cedar Point is America’s roller coaster capital of the world. It is one of my favorite vacation spots to visit in the summer and winter because i only live about two hours away. For those who do not know, Cedar Point is an island in the middle of lake erie that is home to tons of intense rides and roller coasters. The park has all types of rides, big ones, medium sized ones, and small children rides. The biggest is of course the Top Thrill Dragster which is 400 feet tall and was built in 2003. The newest ride is the Maverick which was finished in 2007 and has a 90 degree drop hill. Cedar Point was built in 1892 when it was just a beach on lake erie with a dance floor and bar. It is amazing how after all these years Cedar Point has grown into the number one theme park in North America. 

My favorite ride at the park is the Millennium Force because of its massive height and speed. The coaster was built in 2000 hence its name. When it was first opened it was often shut down due to technical difficulties and those times it prevented me from riding. The first time i went to cedar point i wasn’t much of a roller coaster enthusiest. I would not even ride the rides in camp snoopy. After many years have passed I cannot keep myself away from the park.

Cedar Point is known for attracting many guests each year during the summer and during halloween when the park opens haunted houses along with the coasters. Cedar Point uses advertising to attract the many guests for each season. Television, Print and radio advertisements are used. The television and print ads always involve bright colors and big words to get the attention of the audience. The radio ads use happy songs and guests to create a visual for the listener.

I hope that the the park can last forever because like many other people. I enjoy making the trip every year to scream and have a blast at Cedar Point. Even with the economy being as bad as it is in this day and age. Cedar Point has seen a slight decrease in their ticket sales yearly. The park will stay in business many believe for at least one hundred more years. Maybe the park will need a bailout in a few years just to stay in business.
