Black Friday

INTRO

Black Friday is a time of long lines and cheap deals. Where people are running to the stores to be first for the cheap deals. Why Black Friday though? It is the day after Thanksgiving and made for Christmas shopping. Stores take their best things and put them on sale. The reason it is called Black Friday is becuse in business, red marks are used to show falls in the amount of money they make. Black marks are used to show profits and on Black Friday they make profits, so it is called Black Friday. At the end of the year when people line up early in the morning to get ready to buy things, businesses are making profits from all the shoppers so thats good.

My Opinion

I think Black Friday is a good idea because not only do people get cheap things but businesses startto make a greater profit too. According to Wonderopolis "Regardless of when a retailer turns a profit for the year, it’s clear that Black Friday is a very important day for most retailers. Some retailers are indeed dependent on holiday shopping to turn a profit for the year. For others, it’s a day when they definitely make bigger-than-usual profits — and that’s a lot of black ink!" This shows that Black Friday is not one sided. It is a win win situation. The shoppers and store owners both win.

Baseball Blasts

Metal or Wood

Which hits farther?

Wooden bats were the primary at first. So why do most little leaguers use metal bats? The answer is simple, faster and harder. Metal bats are lighter so they hit more powerfully. They have another perk, it's called the “trampoline effect.” It is called this becaus the metal bats actually act kind of like a trampoline. It is a confusing concept but if you put it simply it makes your swing harder. The questionis why do high school and up leagues use wooden bats? It is for safety, because they hit very hard already so if they used metal bats it would be very dangerous.

Which would I use?

That depends, according to the Wonderopolis artical about which hits harder "Wooden bats come in a variety of types of wood, including hickory (strong, but heavy), white ash (arguably still the most popular wood of choice) and maple (increasing in popularity since Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs in 2001 with maple bats). Metal bats, first made with aluminum, now feature a variety of space-age alloys and unique features. A top-quality metal bat can cost more than $300 today!" So wood are still popular. I would probably prefer a wood bat. It is more natural and some woods are very light. It says that maple bats are growing in popularity and I have read that maple bats are very good. The metal might have the perks, but the orignal wood will continue to live. It was here since tthe beginning of baseball, and tradition will stay. Also wood are safer which will stick.

Blast Off Ending

In conclusion metal are better but wood are safer. Which would you prefer? Tell me in the comments. You must also have a reason. Until the next wonder, Goodbye.
