The problem of course wasn't with Samoa. It was with the woman.
I see this potion of the essay as a huge potential Exhibit; an example which I can use to expound on and present the argument I'm creating in my essay. I anticipate that it will function well alongside Gotham's essay about community identity in New Orleans.

Most likely, they are in for a disappointment
Here is the earliest "stance" movement made by Arndt, outside of the article title of course. Much as we often do in essay introductions, this "stance," often created by our thesis, follows directly after Arndt develops motive and inserts himself into the conversation about authenticity and tourism. This is a pretty good model for my paper as well.

The authors say they were intrigued by how consumers were able to judge seemingly mundane objects or mass-market brands as authentic. "Consumers found authenticity in The Simpsons, McDonald's, cigarette manufacturers, and Nike," the authors write.
This idea provides interesting theory as to how consumers attach authenticity to the things they purchase. I can use this idea to supplement a paragraph where I discuss why exactly people are on the "search for authenticity".

Is McDonald's an authentic brand? What about Marlboro? According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, consumers are able to find authenticity in unlikely places.

the commodifi ed authentic combined the old and the new into a single gratifying experience, prom-ising to bring, say, a comforting image of nineteenth-century-tinged tranquillity (updated and shorn of any drawbacks) to the modern moment.
This is one of my personal frustrations with the tourism industry specifically, so this passage has helped me more fully consider my argument. To make an imperfect food analogy, it's as though tourism companies want to give people the taste of spicy food without them actually having to feel the mild discomfort associated with eating it.

In moving so quickly to unmask, we have missed the opportunity to understand
This is an interesting moment providing a potential stance on the evaluations we all have to make in writing about the authenticity industry. It may not be enough to simply point out inauthenticity; we likely have to evaluate the reasons behind that inauthenticity and/or what Outka calls "commodified authenticity."
