The trialling at home enabled me to test out my pot pie and see if there were any modifications needed. During the process of making my pot pie, I was able to see if the flavours were balanced out and rationed properly due to the original recipe being quartered. There were no modifications that needed to be made after cooking my pot pie at home, although I would have liked to taken into account before entering the Home Economics kitchen that the green curry paste I would be using is different.

    Satire has long been an integral element in yesterdays, todays, and tomorrows literature. Whether we choose to believe it, satire has always burdened a multitude of interpretations and purposes for its use, nevertheless, many writers and audiences who are exposed and/or write under this element may choose to believe satire contracts one specific purpose. During these multitudes of oppositions about the purpose of satire, Botton had written about the fundaments on why the element creates such an intriguing touch and draws a large array of audience. Writers are constant with the disuse of Satire and often surpass the origin of its use; satire is more than an element adding qualitative features or an expression of tone to add a dash of humor.…

    Last November, a week before Thanksgiving, I was listening to the morning radio talk show The Woody Show and the hosts were talking about how excited they were for the Thanksgiving feast. They all went around and shared what was their perfect meal for that day.

However, they all agreed that pumpkin pie was essential to the perfect meal. I found it very interesting that while they argued about the way the meal was executed, they all agreed on the basic components to the meal-I didn’t.…

In rebuttal to Marchione’s accusations that his vote to legalize same-sex marriage was motivated by the promise of campaign donations, McDonald explained that he broke from traditional Republican values because he was a “human being that care[d]” and “could have found an easier way to get…
