temperatures and low acidity levels. Carbonated soft drinks, like Coca-Cola, are low in pH and stored at a room temperature or warm warehouse for weeks before they hit the supermarkets (some aren't even ever refrigerated- stacks in the middle of the aisle in Walmart for example). Given the low acidity and high temperatures, the sucrose in the soft drink breaks down to free fructose and glucose molecules just like HFCS before the consumer takes a drink (White, 2008). Dr. White humorously sums…

"A&P" by John Updike, Updike shows Sammy's lack of immaturity through his judgmental, immature, and disrespectful attitudes. Sammy is extremely judgmental towards his customers. He often calls the shoppers "sheep pushing their carts down the aisle." Sammy is insulting and judging these customers by referring to them as animals and hinting that they are stupid and causing chaos just like sheep usually do. He also called one of his customers a "witch about fifty." Saying that she is an evil…

When one thinks about the average fruit or vegetable it may not come to mind where it came from or how it got to the produce aisle in the grocery store or local market. The basic fruit or vegetable undergoes a very long process prior to consumption. It begins as a seed and that seed forms into a plant which is pollinated by bees. Recent reports have labeled bees on the endangered species list for the first time ever. On the outside this may not seem like such a major problem, but looking into…

I stare at myself in the gargantuan wrap around mirrors of the dressing rooms, the hideous ruffles on the wedding gown bouncing with any small movements. The smile that the attendant plasters on is entirely fake and probably has been for the last five to ten years of these types of marriages happening in society. After all, it’s not about how the bride feels about the dress, it’s what makes her the most innocent looking as to be more appealing to her betrothed. Any joy that had ever came from…

Marxist Criticism as Relevant to John Updike’s “A&P” Marxism as created by Karl Marx is a society in which the state owns all the land and property. In the Marxist system, No capitalism, Money does not exist and everyone equally gets what they need. There are two classes; the Proletariat and the Bourgeois. The Proletariats are the workers of the land, such as servants, while the Bourgeois were the corporate owners. Also this theory is a form of socialism, in which there is no class division…

understand the importance of doing the right thing and following the golden rule, treat others how you would want to be treated. In seventh grade, my friends and I were making the rounds at Walmart for something to do. As we made our way through the toy aisle, I noticed money on the ground and picked it up. Upon closer examination I found it to be a ten dollar bill. My youthful mind surged with all the…

The piece that I decided to present was a poem penned by Ted Kooser called Apple Sauce. In this poem there are descriptive elements that break down some points in making apple sauce. In the beginning of the poem the setting is established in a first person point of view to give the audience an opportunity to experience what’s running through the author's mind. He conveys to the reader what he likes about “her kitchen” (line 5). Considering this poem is about food being cooked in a house, the…

I can remember Miss.Texter saying,”This has to be perfect or you are going to look like a bunch of goons.” We practiced a lot, I can’t even remember how many times we walked up and down the aisle. So when I went home that Friday I played wolfball at tanner’s. I don’t know how I did but I cut my face while playing with. So I had to go to graduation with a big shiner under my eye. It was graduation day and I was kind of nervous but then I…

There are many iterations of the Hamlet story that have been filmed dating from 1907 up until the year 2009 yet only five of those many movies portray a good feeling and meaning for the“To Be or Not to Be” soliloquy. The five movies in mention are the Branagh, Gibson, Blockbuster, Olivier, and Doran’s versions. In the five movies the camera angle, actions of Hamlet, and the music do well at producing emotion in the viewer. But only one is superior to all. The Branagh version is the most…
