He wasn’t like them and…

Problems with the food industry Ever wondered what is inside the food you are eating and how the meat is handled? Some of the slaughterhouses temperatures are not right so the meat isn't cut right or rotten. They need to show more awareness about animal handling can help improve the meat and how it is made. The facts that I am using are slaughterhouses, animal handling, and drug injected into the animals. First, slaughterhouses are the way that they kill off the animals and separate the…

“lady” or a “woman” (27). Jake later calls particular attention to his view of youth as attractiveness when his typical style of narration undergoes a shift. Lying on a raft opposite a boy and girl, Jake notices that, “The girl had undone the top strap of her bathing-suit and was browning her back. The boy lay face downward on the raft and talked to her. She laughed at things he said, and turned her brown back in the sun” (239). Again Jake describes the couple as a “girl” and “boy,” recognizing…

Chapter Twenty-One Response- Their little sanctuary of a raft has become a stage for the duke and the dauphin to rehearse their little charade. Although lacking in quality, Huckleberry Finn appears impressed and taken by their talent and abilities. But their little escapade is really nothing more than I have previously stated; they are putting on a charade. Jim wasn’t heard much about in this chapter, although I assume that he was still present at this time. The focus on this chapter was…
