Popping

I remember at the beginning of the year I wrote a Personal Narrative essay which was one of my longest and most meaningful essay I've written in a while. The reason for this is because the topic was so interesting and thoughts just couldn’t stop popping in my head. However, I do plan on fixing this problem by researching the topic more extensively before writing an essay or response.

Most people have an organized story that explains how this grand planet came to be. Whether that story is a random man popping up and creating us and the Earth, then punishing us when we do something wrong, or an invisible entity making the Earth from the back of a turtle is open to interpretation. Whatever the story may be, the similarities and differences are unnerving, to say the least, considering the varying cultures. Most of these creation myths tend to include animals functioning as…

daily lives do not assist in making this statistic any less horrifying. However, it seems as though America is in the middle of a health kick. Restaurants are required to list the amount of calories in their products, new health food places are popping up all over the country, and fast food consumption appears to be at an all time low.
