Body 1: Apple
Body about the Logo and how the Logo was not cool before the popular Apple.
Apple was not always an Apple. It once had a avatar very different from the one we all know today. Apple's first logo was not cool. It had Newton under a tree and an apple about to fall on his head. It does makes sense since the company was named after that story that made Isaac Newton invent Physics and was the first event to the modern world. Does a customer care about that? No, it looks ugly on the their products and it is very not cool, in fact you look like a nerd having this logo on your goods. That year the Apple I came out, it was the first personal computer and the start for the company. They did not have any professional marketers to give them a proper image for the company but the Apple I made them enough money to hire someone. The same year the Apple I came out, they changed the companies logo to the one we all know today. But it was not silver, it was filled with the colors of a rainbow.

Introduction of My paper.
Did Steve do his Job? He sure did but in a moment of Apple's history, people were not interested in their product. They were sure the most powerful you could get, but power means money and their products were really uncool. Apple was not always cool, it became cool. At that time IBM was leading the computer business, And Steve Jobs did not know that what people needed was something that was "Cool". Steve jobs got fired from the ex CEO of Pepsi Co that he had brought in Apple. But when he came back, things changed. Steve Job learned a lot about what people wanted, but to do so, he had to go though another loss. How did apple change their image to the world to become today's leader in technology? Well they studied what we want, and we want "cool". When they finally came up with the right "cool" product (the iMac), their sells boosted and they came back in the game of cool. What made the company not "cool" to the eyes of the people?

Topings is very important ot the taste of toast.
My name is Toast, James Toast. But instead of saving the world, James Toast saves hungry stomachs with any gun possible. In simpleton English, Toast can be eaten with any garnishment. You can put butter on it, or peanut butter and jelly. It will always be good. It really depends on the tastes of people. Some might prefer it salty and other like it sweet. The reason for that is that toast is mainly bread, and bread is one of the food that can combine with literally anything. It depends more on what you put on the bread. New recipes for toast are being invented almost every day. The topping can sometimes be good with only one kind of cooking.
To grill or not to grill?. The ways to cook toast can make the difference. Toast has many ways to be cooked. There is the popular french toast to the croutons. Toast can be eaten without being grilled, soft and moist. And can also be eaten crunchy and hard. It really depends on taste and how much time you have in your hands. If you have more time than you can try some more ellaborated recepies. You can even try your own recipes and it will not taste bad. Toast is efficient because it can be eaten at any time of the day.
When do you sleep agent Toast? Never on the firm time that is! Toast can be eaten at any time of the day. You can have it for breakfast or dinner. Because it is really easy to cook and make a full meal out of a piece of toast. It is also very light, you can eat between lunches and not loose your appetite. The tool to make toast, the toaster, is not expensive and after one purchase can be bought many times on and on and on. Toast is also very accesable making it very efficient for a snack or a full meal.Toast will never ditch you, it will always stand by your side.
It's elemental my dear Watson. Toast is very efficient, from the sun to light bulbs, it will always be available with a large range of possibilities. Toast is efficient. Toast has many ways to be cooked from texas toast to milk bread and more. The toppings of toast really depends on human wants. If we look at economics, human wants are unlimited. So different combinasons of toast should also be unlimited. But more important, toast can be eaten at any time of the day. But what if Toast was the main reason for the big bang? the reason that we live and that our planet is?

That is why we can eat toast at any time of the day.

Definition of synecdoche
Synecdoche
: a figure of speech by which a part is put for the whole (as fifty sail for fifty ships), the whole for a part (as society for high society), the species for the genus (as cutthroat for assassin), the genus for the species (as a creature for a man), or the name of the material for the thing made (as boards for stage)
Use of synecdoche in Haiku:
Well it can be used to describe many object as one or to make a word that has too many syllables something else but keep the same meaning and it can also help with the imagery. For example instead of using Stage, you can use a material that the stage is made of to say stage. Stage is 2 syllables and Wood is one. Wood can mean stage.

Haiku Analysis
HAIKU 1:
a world of dew,
and within every dewdrop
a world of struggle
(Issa 1762 - 1826)
HAIKU 2:
so very still, even
cherry blossoms are not stirred
by the temple bell
(Fuhaku 1714-1807)
Before i start analyzing this Haiku, i need to know what a Haiku is exactly because i am still not clear about what is a Haiku type of poem. A Haiku contains of 5,7,5 syllables in 3 lines. Line one and two should be different images and line 3 should bring those images together. A haiku often contains a Kigo which cites which season the Haiku takes place, for example, cherry blossom would stand for spring. A haiku should need no explanation.
In the first haiku the Kigo, if there is one, would be autumn. Because of the world of dew inspires autumn and it's sadness of colors. The haiku has 2 ideas, that are connected by a 3rd idea. The two ideas are different images and the last Idea is a image that connects the two last ones together. Each verse holds an Idea within itself. The meter of the poem is the one of a traditional Haiku, 5,7,5. There is no rhyme in the first poem.
The second poem is a more peaceful than the first poem. As i mentioned earlier the kigo is "cherry blossom" a spirit that summons spring and its joy. What is the still object in the Haiku? It is the whole of the world that the reader is imagining. A world where there is no wind and no movement in the middle of spring and a temple is there, a calm world. The meter of that Haiku is also 5,7,5 following tradition and it also has 3 ideas which one of them connects the two last ones into one main idea.

How to fight the media?
How do I rebel if the corporate world owns everything I think is cool?
In a world where everything is a giant marketing scheme, how would a teenager that realizes what the media is doing be able to rebel against the world? By looking at some of the popular types of rebellion we can see how everything you do will make someone in the corporate world win some money. The best way of rebellion is a way that makes the corporate world win nothing out of that rebellion. The problem is that in a modern world, society is owned by cool, and rebelling against it is rebelling against society. Social life can be affected too.
Social life is something very important to human survival. If everyone at your school thinks that a certain type of music is cool and you decide to rebel against that type of music, there are two possibilities. Either your type of music becomes cool and theirs uncool, or people will see you as an outsider. If you music becomes cool than this is where the paradox happens because their music, in the process, becomes uncool. But then everyone will listen to your music and you who is rebelling against that is then trapped in the paradox. But if people reject you for you unormal taste. Then you rebel by giving something up, which is social life. And also by listening to another type of music, you make the other type of gain some money. By making your own music, you make companies that sell instruments or editing software some money. How to beat the corporate world?
Some people has chosen to break the law to show their power. They go in the street to make graffiti. They make their own art for their own eyes. Others will do drugs to be different from everyone who does not. But companies will still make money off you. Graffiti is not free, it needs paint, drugs neither. And also by breaking the law America makes a lot of money putting people in jail. By breaking the law many corporate make money. So this will not create a problem for them. It is not a rebellion it is more of a other way to make the economy going. But if everything helps the corporate how would a teenager rebel.

It is not a rebellion it is more of a other way to make the economy going. But if everything helps the corporate how would a teenager rebel.
It is simply impossible to rebel against that marketing scheme. By doing anything someone will win money in the progress. By buying not cool clothe, the company selling them will make money but also if everyone does it, it becomes cool. And the paradox makes it impossible to rebel against the big corporate world. We are stuck in a paradox of “cool”.
So we are stuck in the cool world because by any way we rebel, that way will by it’s turn become cool. And your rebellion would bring money to a corporate. This is the paradox of “cool”, this is why we can not rebel, and this is why we are stuck in a world designed by the media.
