The quality of the experience offered will determine the charged price that clients will compensate for when purchasing the services. The authors claims, “Many goods encompass more than one experimental aspect, opening up areas for differentiation” They goes ahead to give an example of the experiences that can be offered by clothing manufacturers and this includes wearing experience, drawering experience or even cleaning experience. Manufacturers are advised to brace themselves and create memorable experiences that will add value to their esteemed customers. Pine and Gilmore claimed that any good can be inged. For instance, The Rawlings Sporting Goods Company of St. Louis introduced a radar ball that had a microchip that displayed the speed of the ball after every toss.

People are often deceived by some famous brands, which they will buy as useless commodities to feel they are distinctive. People require brands to experience the feeling of being special. People spend their money to have something from famous brands, like a bag from Coach or Louis Vuitton which they think they need, yet all that is just people’s wants.

Having shoes from Louis Vuitton or shoes that cost $30 it is designed for the same use.

A theme can be either stated or implied. A stated theme is a theme “that the other expresses directly in his work (protic.net); an implied theme is a theme “that is not directly stated in the work” (protic.net). As mentioned before, both of these stories have an implied theme, which now is revealed to mean that the author of the story insinuated it. Themes exist in all stories (verbal or written) and can be long, short, true or false. “Earth people will beat out any other intelligent life-form in any and all competitions” is a theme, but “good always beats evil” is one too. “Once upon a time . . .” stories have themes too, except they are more one-dimensional.

It is comprised of other elements, such as characterization, symbolism, imagery, tone, exposition, climax, conflict, and more. The theme is basically the end result of a complete understanding of a work of literature. In Joyce Carol Oates’ Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? a theme is built around the actions and personalities of two main characters, Connie and Arnold Friend. Connie, the primary protagonist, longs to be free of the childhood she feels
One factor is the story truth and the happening truth, what had occurred versus what was thought to have occurred. O’Brien quotes that, “Story truth is truer sometimes than happening truth”. Story truth is what had seemed to had happened, but in the perspective of the others and not O’Brien’s perspective.
