    As much as consumers blame the Processed Food companies for their families gaining weight, they also contribute to the weight gain of themselves and their children. “[P]eople buy what they like, and they like what tastes good,” (Moss 3).

If a random person was picked off of the street and they were given the choice between a salad or a bag of chips the chances of this person choosing the salad would be very small. Another reason processed food is contributing to obesity is because it is so cheap and easy to make, or are already made.…

    In many ways, individuals often struggle against their fears. The time I experienced this was when I used to ride steers a couple summers ago. It was a hot July day and my dad and I had just finished helping my Rodeo queen sister get ready for carrying flags to start off the rodeo. After when we walked over to the stands to get ready for their riding, I was gearing up to ride one of those beasts they call steers, thinking I was going to get killed.…

    Technology has developed so much over the years that we have relied on it so much. Technology is used in pretty much everything we use nowadays. Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…

By this point I had already walked more than a dozen dogs, fed half the kennel, and taken out over a hundred dogs for one of their daily outings. I was exhausted and now I had to pick up a field full of dog feces.…

    In small-town Mississippi, I was always taught that being Conservative was the only way to be and that thinking any other way would go completely against my religion. That being said for the majority of my life I believed I was a Republican until I turned 16 and realized that I agree with very little of what Conservatives do. I now consider myself to be an Independent who leans liberal and the thought of changing my views is pretty unfathomable at this point. However, if I really had to contemplate doing that I would have to consider my few objections to the typical view of Liberals, and that would mostly have to deal with my thoughts on abortion.…

    Late August, I was enjoying my last days of summer until one late night, I overheard my dad conversing with my mother and brother about something I wasn’t aware about. This conversation led to my dad leaving with a gloomy expression on his face, and my mother attempting to calm down my panicking brother. My mother calmed my brother down, but this news my dad told them gave me a feeling of apprehension. My dad’s career change taught me to prepare for unexpected circumstances and to distribute time equally rather than focusing on one topic. Early in September, my father unexpectedly announced to me that he lost his job due to struggling economy.…

    This article is, in my opinion, an example of how personal narrative can sometime confuse the author’s purpose. In order to frame her arguments she discussed her experiences with her family, and specifically how she was born a twin to a stillborn sister. She explains her families lack of coping and how her family effected her life, but I failed to focus on the overarching idea that she wanted to get out because of how distracting the stories from her personal life are. Instead found myself thinking that her story was strangely personal without much justification for why it was this way. While the point of her article, the balance between truth and respect, was somewhat present overall, the sections of personal narrative that she decided to include muddled it.…
