Marshmallows Theory

Improved Essays
1 Being a marshmallow, Marvin never got out much. It became customary for all of the foods of {the buffet} to stick with their kind, and not leave their designated area. Of course you will have the occasional grain of rice hanging out with the jello squares or slice of lemon poppyseed bread with the marinara sauce, but it typically didn’t last for long. Marvin never knew anything different from being a marshmallow, until one day when he was seized from his home. 2 Marvin sat on a toothpick bench in the center of Marshmallow Meadow, which was the toponym that this place was given many years ago, admiring the wonderful culture of his kind. He listened to the roaring chatter of hundreds of marshmallows pour through the air, echoing against the …show more content…
Since all of the foods are divided by baselines and meridians, the Marshmallows thought that the other’s problems weren’t of their concern. Many of the foods of {the buffet} had to succumb to the theory of expansion determinism, and adapt to their physical environment around them. The marshmallows on the other hand, welcomed the theory of possibilism. Instead of letting the confined space of their container define their actions, with the help of their immense wealth, they modified it. By using advanced technologies, they expanded their home to better suit their kind. Which explains when the network of communication, that the buffet had constituted, brought news of the rapidly growing diffusion of the ice cream’s cold feature, they ignored it. The marshmallows that thought they were superior over everyone else, so that matter couldn’t possibly affect …show more content…
The other marshmallows raised their eyes, with their mouths on the floor, but everything was still. His kind below grew smaller and smaller, until it was all a blur. The device released its constricting grip, and he tumbled down toward a shiny white surface. Delicately landing on the edge of this surface, he glanced up. Wow thought Marvin, as he explored the landscape below. Marshmallow Meadow appeared to be a miniscule counterpart of {the buffet} in comparison with the environment around it.
His eyes were then brought to an area of {the buffet} where he could see a cream colored substance slowly expanding, “The diffusion of the ice cream!” he exclaimed to himself. Slowly he traced the border of the cold liquid with his eyes and discovered that it was slowly moving outwards towards all of the other foods, including the marshmallows themselves. Wow, Marvin thought to himself, I have to get proof, we’re endangered! After examining the white disk he had fell upon, his breathing grew shallow; I have to get out of here, he thought. Gingerly, he peered over the edge and felt a twist in his stomach, the space between his location and the ground was colossal. The pounding in his chest grew, but then he remembered

    In Sarah E. Newton’s article, ““The Jell-O Syndrome”: Investigating Popular Culture/Foodways,” she focuses on Jell-O and the connections it has with folklore and popular culture. It begins with the argument that Jell-O has received relatively little attention for the amount of influence it has had. She claims that it is the only commercial food to cross regional and ethnic lines (Newton 250). Newton makes several bold claims at the beginning of her article. One of these claims is, “To many of us, Jell-O is America – or certainly at least the Midwest, which to food marketing executives may amount to the same thing” (Newton 251).…

    “I call it the cut-and-paste apartment,” Walter Youngblood, an artist and ice-cream man, said of the fourth-floor walk-up in East Harlem where he’s lived for 20 years. He bartered a painting for the stove and rescued the bashed-in mini-chandelier from the trash. It hangs in the kitchen, which has colonized half the living room. The refrigerator stands in a far corner, and steel wire shelves jut out, with dangling pots, pans and heavy-duty sieves at the ready.…

    Breaking Conformity in To Kill A Mockingbird Contrary to the common perception of Maycomb, the town where Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird takes place, not all of the citizens who live there conform to the typical norms that are expected of them. Calpurnia is the housekeeper of the Finch household where the protagonist, a young girl named Scout, lives. Dolphus Raymond, a white man who is portrayed as an alcoholic, lives with the colored people in town. The depiction of both Calpurnia and Dolphus Raymond demonstrates that even in an average town like Maycomb, there are people who continue to defy the boundaries of common stereotypes.…

    In retrospect, what may have drawn the creature’s attention, was in the way I walked. Familiar to every eight-year-old prepubescent, was the act of not bothering to lift your leg one after the other. An often reprimanded undertaking, that created a great deal of sound, when hard plastic greeted with worn and cracked concreate. The sky had greyed, and it had an annoying indecisive attitude as to whether it wanted to rain or not. It was halfway down a “shortcut,” an alley that separated the pharmacy, and another shop I would have engrained into memory, if I knew I would never be able to recount it.…

    That is quite a great example to validate your point of view on diffusionism. Food has always been a great way to bridge between cultures.

By traveling and acquiring new riches not only he brought a new flavor to the world, but he also had to learn and bring some of the cultures he encountered along the way – the same way the improved the native American’s traveling by giving them horses.…
