Paula Deen's Analysis

Decent Essays
Brenna,

Your post was a very interesting read! It's not surprising that she was dropped almost immediately by her network. However, it was surprising to read what Professor Hudak wrote, that the Food Network also dropped her sons. After the incident, I saw numerous tweets and parody's of Paula Deen expressing her viewpoints, if I may put it that way, throughout my Twitter feed. When reading/watching them, I was wondering what happened in the world that this these are being created. It's never right to make racist remarks or any negative remark to a person or group, it's a norm now that it is considered It's wrong to do and she should've realized that, therefore she paid the price for her actions. Through a cursory Google search, I found that

    Tristram McPherson enthusiastically sets out to prove that killing animals under nearly any circumstance is morally wrong. In “Why I am Vegan”, he lays out a multitude of different reasons which it is wrong to kill even painlessly. McPherson has several very valid and reasonable ideas however they lack any type of support as to why they should be upheld. McPherson spends a lot of the second section considering the autonomy and future of the animals; however, more importantly he compares the killing of animals to the killing of humans. McPherson does not provide adequate reasoning for why the practice of killing animals is morally wrong.…

    When it comes to Global warming, being a vegetarian should be turned to as a first resort rather than going more toward the Prius, a car that has been made to cut vehicle emissions in half in an attempt to fight against global warming. Kathy Freston’s article “Vegetarian is the new Prius” caught my eye immediately when choosing an essay for the very fact that, I want Toyota Prius, and also because I’ve tried going vegetarian. Although I see nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, the lifestyle just didn’t work for me. I do to a certain extent agree with her argument because ever since I took ecology in high school, the environment has been very important to me, and I do what I can to help preserve it. Freston wrote that President Herbert Hoover promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage”.…

    Artist Approach to The Last Meal In the article, The Last Meal, Michael Paterniti adds complexity and strength to his work by taking an artistic approach to deliver his information. He specifically uses two literary devices that guide the reader to a better understanding of the scenario; a continuous change in tense paired with intense descriptions that offer critical value to the overall piece.

    In the short story “Simple Recipes” by Madeleine Thien, the author uses juxtaposition and repetition to shape the meaning of the narrative as a story about unity and its dissolution. Thien uses these elements of design in the juxtaposition of the narrator’s past harmony with her family being played out side by side with her more distant present. Thien also uses the repetition of certain elements such as the fish in order to accurately portray the breaking up of a once unified family. To begin, Thien first uses juxtaposition in her placement of the past alongside the present in order to emphasize the interrelationship of these contrasting times while also revealing details about the family’s past that strongly ties in with the overall story…
