The two websites that I decided to compare are those of Burger King and Maggiano’s Little Italy. I decided to select these two, because they are two restaurants on opposite ends of the spectrum. One is a low end fast food chain while the other is a high end restaurant. Since the two restaurants have different styles and/or markets they are marketing towards I thought it would be an interesting choice to write about. Comparing these two websites will help people better understand what techniques…

I chose to immerse myself into the Italian culture. Choosing this culture was not difficult because I am, according to AncestryDNA, 75% Italian and would love to learn more about where I come from. The only exposure that I have gotten in relation to the culture was when I traveled to Italy in June of 2017 and by living at home with my extended Italian family. After extensive research, I learned a hefty amount of information on Italian culture. For the course, I was required to download two…

How does the Media cause Bulimia and Anorexia in the younger generation? “Hot Summer Body” and “Lose weight fast” were just some of the phrases I walk by on a daily basis. Bolded in neon letters in front of gorgeous women such as Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner, etc. You think it stops there? It’s not just the women, it’s the men too. Logos all over the place “Gain muscle fast” “Burn fat” all portrayed next to the famous David Beckham and John Cena. There…

three men who ate the Lotus “never cared to report, nor to return: they longed to stay forever, browsing on that native bloom(Homer 98-100). The men did not want to continue on their journey, so much so that Odysseus actually “tied them under their rowing benches(Homer 103). The reason that Odysseus tied them under the benches was the men did not want to come with them, so Odysseus had to force them to do so. While the experience that Odysseus and his crew had in the land of the Lotus-Eaters was…

Charles Dodgson, otherwise known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was born on January twenty-seventh, 1832 in the United Kingdom (Bethune 2015). Dodgson was the eldest boy in a family of eleven children. As a child, he wrote and created games. Growing up, he discovered his talent in mathematics and became an appointed lecturer at age twenty under a studentship at Christ Church.

examples that show that Odysseus is loyal to his shipmates. For instance, on the Land of the Lotus Eaters, three men ate the Lotus flower. Odysseus was loyal and came to the rescue and, “Drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down rowing benches, and called to the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home,” (101-105). This is an example of Odysseus being a loyal and trustworthy King. He made sure that none of his…

also is exposed to a man who killed himself. The concept of taking ones own life is something Nick finds hard to grasp as he looks to his father for an explanation. “In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die” (19). While Nick battles with comprehending the origin of life and death he still maintains some of his childhood innocence by believing that “he would never…

Through the Looking Glass, published in 1971, is a work of children’s fiction by Lewis Carroll. It is the famous sequel to Carroll’s first novel Alice in Wonderland, although it has no reference to its events. Generally referred to as ‘‘nonsense literature’’, it is a story full of humour, riddles and rhymes, all throughout while acting as a satire on the people in Carroll’s life at the time. Unlike general children’s novels that are written to instruct and educate, Carroll’s writings could only…
