In Class: First Paragraph
“The Horned Bookstore”, that is what some students call the TCU bookstore, Barnes & Noble. However, not all the Barnes & Nobles around the country can be called as “The Horned Bookstore” since this special one is founded mainly for the TCU students, the “Horned Frogs”. During my one year’s experience in this country, I have already seen several Barnes & Nobles in this country; they are of different design, in different color. But this one, the particular “Horned Bookstore” has a strong distinguishing characteristic since it is TCU bookstore. When people drive by the West Berry Street, they will know that this architecture with a warming color is for TCU, when they see the classic purple logo right above the Barnes & Noble logo. Barnes & Noble are doing a good job in showing their credibility and the status of being connected to TCU.

This is a really good choice for this assignment. It's interesting how different the TCU Barnes and Noble is from the regular branches, or even other college book stores. I definitely think this space is making an argument!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that every Barnes and Noble TCU bookstore is very different from any other Barnes and Noble bookstores in general. I have been to SMU before and they have their own Barnes and Noble bookstore. Even though they are both from the same company they are very different. I think TCU's is better because it's on a corner and a lot closer to the classes than SMU's which looks like its a bit of a walk from classes but it does provide much more parking.
