Chew on this

In Chew On This, the authors starts explaining the history of the hamburger. Then they start describing how restaurants like McDonald's and KFC were started and how they grew. In the other chapters, they reveal the true ingredients contained in fast food and talk about how many of these ingredients lead to Type II Diabetes, heart attacks, obesity and more.
As many young people are concerned about how their actions can affect not only themselves but also the world as a whole, The authors are quick to point out the impact that the fast food industry has had on jobs, smaller businesses, and the global economy. They talk more about the importance of healthy working environments and fair treatment for workers and explain how places like McDonald's breed underpaid and overworked employees who often barely last more than three months on the job. Eric Schlosserand Charles Wilson describe the unsafe conditions of some of the beef and chicken slaughterhouses that supply fast food restaurants with meat. They also talk about  a little-known fact that most of us don't know that there is a danger of poop being in the beef served at these places.

Bowling for Columbine

The film Bowling for Columbine was actually interesting and I would recommend it for other people to watch. I learned that some documentaries take their topic very seriously. I found interesting in the film that on the news every time someone gets shot it's always the black male and that everyone is scared of the black male, I don't know why they are scared but they are.

Chew on this chapter 1 review

In chapter one i9n the book Chew On This by Eric Schlosser & CHarles Wilson they talk about the first fast food restaurants and their history. They talked about how William Rosenberg dropped out of school at the age 14 and opened up  a doughnut shop (Dunkin' Donuts) Some of the people that started the fast food restaurants dropped out of high school. Then some other people started to look at some other persons restaurant and started taking notes and wanted to open more across of America.

Journalism

What i learned about journalism is that sometimes it's not about you it's about the people and that you need to focus on a specific topic. Also that if you're interviewing people and you put it in a magazine that you need to quote what they say and keep your paragraphs and sentences short: http://www.mediacollege.com/journalism/news/write-stories.html

The Robber Bridegroom


Symbolism in the story "The Robber Bridgegroom"

This short story has many symbols in it. This guy's bride to be goes to "My house is out in the dark woods." this represents that his house is in a weird place to be and the dark woods probably represents that something bad is going to happen to this girl. Also she doesn't even know this guy and he's just inviting her to his house like it's nothing

Blue Beard

We all have been told of the story of Cinderella and all of the other princess stories. But Blue Beard is a very dark, and it's very uncommon for a story to be happy at first then it ends up that your husband has his dead wives hidden in a room somewhere and he says to you that he is going to kill you next. There is nothing wrong with that it's perfectly fine (of course not)
