In Class Free Write: First Paragraph of Public Space Essay

Why did I choose this space? What about it appeals to me? Did I second guess myself after visiting the space? I chose this space for a few different reasons. The first of which is because I have never physically been into this space. I don't even recall ever being close to the space before however I had made assumptions about the space based on things I had heard and the social status of it. The second reason is because I read a book about Neiman Marcus and then observed that space and was blown away. Because this two places are often brought up in the same circles I thought it would be beneficial to explore it. This space appealed to me because of the name. Nordstroms when spoken gives off this prestige and makes you think that either you can not afford it and only those living in the lap of luxury indulge there. This made me wonder if this was fact and what makes it the name brand that it is.

  1. Nordstrom and Neiman's are both classy but have slightly different feels to them. I think the different spaces are both working to make slightly different arguments even though their customers are very similar.

  2. Asking quesions is a classic way to appeal the readers. It is old but effective. However I think you can point your space first and then ask this question, otherwise your readers might be a little bit confused about what you are going to write about.
    By the way, I like the fish feeding flash on your right side.
