I did come across a journal article that describes the author’s intentions with this book. Brian E. Cassidy, author of the journal entry, suggests that the book offers, so much information regarding each separate decade and their transitions in American food eating: “…. American Food by the Decades, covers the food related trends, brands, companies, technology, and celebrities of the United States in the 20th Century” (“Questia” Reference & User Services Quarterly.

Charles Lane, in his weekly column from the The Washington Post, consistently uses facts and figure, a concerned tone, and a cause and effect expository mode in order to convey his argument about a current issue.

Board.” Lane supports each of his arguments with ample…
