1970 KFC Ad

Back in 1970 K.F.C made an advertisement and in that ad there is a chubby little boy named Hugo and a chubby little girl named Holly.

Hugo and Holly along with their parents are going to go have some K.F.C but it was taking so long and the kids are bored, but when they arrived at K.F.C their eyes light up and they are fighting over who was going to go and get the food. Holly won and so Hugo goes and get the food and when he comes back they are stuffing their faces with as much chicken as they could and they then head home and were as happy as could be.

The things that I like about the advertisement are that it is a cartoon not a real life ad. I also I think it is an awesome idea to have animals and to make everything so happy when they finally get their K.F.C. (Kentucky Fried Chicken)

Although it is a cartoon, it is believable and what happens in that ad would usually happen in a normal, everyday family.

The only thing that I would change would be to make the kids slim, not chubby and fat.

No this advertisement would not work today because well I mean who would buy something that would make you that obese and advertisers today don’t use cartoons any more. They use real people because this is living proof there product is good.

1970 Kentucky Fried Chicken Ad

In 1970 a KFC advertisement was made which features cartoon characters Hugo and his family.

The animated advert looks incredible as it had intense colours and detail for its time.

It is extremely amusing and cheerful as two chunky eager children sing a tremendous jingle on their way to KFC. The ad features many animals having picnics as Hugo and his family drive to the KFC outlet. The animals are portrayed as bouncing which makes the cartoon appealing. When they finally reach the Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet the children keenly eat the mouth watering chicken as if they haven’t eaten for days.

I believe this ad will still work in current times as most advertisements these days are not cartoons and the ones that are will usually be too graphic and too descriptive and do not give you a feel of a fun family meal. I also think this add will appeal to children and adults rather than just children or just adults.

The only thing I would change about the advertisement would be to replace the jingle they sing to a more recent category of music which would appeal to more modern families.

TREE ADVENTURE

On Tuesday 18 May 10 students from our school participated on a tree adventure trip held in Wood-hill Forest.

Firstly we waited for the police to arrive and their vans to pick us up. When they arrived the girls hopped into one van and the boys hopped into the other van. We stopped of at Point England School to pick up some other students.

It was sure a long drive but we were excited and nervous at the same time. When we arrived at the place, the fun began. After that we changed into our P.E gear and then we put on our harness for safety. We were eager and a little freaked out at how high the obstacles were.

We got to do each course after the tree adventure staff showed us how it’s used. Everyone was eager to start.

Eventually we started and everyone went on different kinds of courses and levels. Some of us made it to the end course which was number 8.
Last of all we ended our fun adventure and headed back to school. We took off our safety gear and said thank you to the staff and headed back. When we returned, we were exhausted from all that fun activity. Thanks to the police for transporting us safely to the tree adventure and back.
THAT WAS TREMENDOUS!!!

RAISING THE DRINKING AGE TO 20 YRS....
Some people agree with raising the drinking age to 20 yrs while others disagree.

Some people feel the drinking age should be raised to 20 yrs and over. Firstly teenager are beginning to do irresponsible things like robberies and starting fights. Secondly 18yr olds are too young to start drinking. If they raise the drinking age to 20yrs then teenagers won’t be able to buy their own alcohol. Lastly if they have a party at home, having alcohol is not a good idea.

On the other hand some teenagers will disagree because then they will have to wait till they turn 20 yrs of age. Some people’s opinion is that teenagers will probably ask their parents to buy the alcohol for them. They can’t just walk into the liquor shop and purchase alcohol.

I think that the drinking age should be raised after all the stupid stuff that has happened throughout the year.

Should We Extend Shopping Hours On Easter Weekend

Some people think we should while others disagree.

Some people feel that shopkeepers should extend shopping hours on the Easter weekend. People run out of food and need more time to shop. Shopping with the family is fun and exciting. Store owners could earn themselves more money.

Other people feel that shopkeepers need a break on the Easter weekend. They need to spend the time with their family. Easter is a religious holiday and people need to go to church. This is important quality time for Christian families.

I think that we shouldn’t extend shopping hours on Easter weekend.
