Tomato

Smith had to help, he helped Ms. Smith get up. Then they sprinted. They sprinted into the kitchen to be safe from the doll. The doll could not be outsmarted, it had a wire in her hands. Mr. Smith looked like a tomato. So he threw the doll to the door and it broke into pieces. He tried to take out the batteries , but the doll had no batteries. Ms. Smith took the ear and wished,“I wish there was another doll.” Mr. Smith shrieked, “Why did you wish for…

was now as dirty as a toddler's shirt that hadn't been washed for 4 years, and onto my hands. I walked towards her when suddenly, I fumbled and tripped. The egg flew out of my hand and splatted across Miss C's face. Her face turned as red as a ripe tomato about to burst. She screamed and stormed off towards the rest of the class who were now all giggling amongst each other. I wiped my sweaty hands across my putrid-smelling face. My heart lifted. No more Miss C or should I say her real name; Miss…

I surrendered. After the initial trauma wore off, I realized that although the taste may be different, a new level of diversity and variety was added to my burrito. “Do I like tomatoes?” Did I really just ask that question? I have always said “no tomato” for everything. But it was different this time. Could I have been wrong? If I were wrong about tomatoes, I wonder what else could I be wrong about. This gave me a new curiosity to try different ingredients, and it showed me that each…

It was a cold winter day in New York. Snow so bright it could blind your eyes. Sun reflecting off the snow to make it brighter as the snow plows drive by. Salt trucks following moments later. A small girl is getting ready for school. Her name is Skyler Lynn Johnson., short, pale girl only around five foot one inch tall, long beautiful black hair with a set of blue eyes about as bright as the sky on a summer morning, with a voice not really high but not super low. “I’m headed out Mama,” she gives…

I am awakened by the waves softly crashing against the shore. I inhale the fresh scent of saltwater and seaweed that makes me feel connected to nature. I slowly open my eyes and take in what’s around me. I see that I am in my beach house that has walls covered in a relaxing dark blue and the bed sheets as white as clouds, it almost seems if the wall were the ocean and the beds were the se foam. I look around my room to see if my friends are wake, I see Katherine taking up almost all of…

frankly I believe there should have been more. Michael O'Donnell's poem “Letters from Pleiku” is a heart wrenching poem which pertains to the emotional trauma one may produce if he/she were to be killed in action. He says, “each of us is a can of tomato paste” (174) which could eventually “stain the hands of everyone who knew us.” (174). The poem really makes one think about how much he/she would hurt his/her family if something were to happen. When thinking about death one often thinks about…

Waterworld and Stagecoach, two seemingly similar movies with different plots. Both movies are great although waterworld was a bit strange, in its sense of it taking place in a water covered world where there was no land and people inbreeding and eating dirt. Besides that i say that this movie was very strange.The movie Waterworld is a post-apocalyptic story about a mutant named Mariner. As the polar ice-caps in the world have all melted, very little land remains, causing some humans to mutate…

agree with Berry that the food we intake is extremely important. My mom tries her best to grow and can as much food as possible. She does not approve of the processed or precooked food that most people are consuming. She makes her own pizza sauce, tomato sauce, jelly, and honey. She grows tomatoes, corn, green…

government is prone to lobbyists. In one case, Congress declared pizza a vegetable because of pressure from lobbyists. They blocked attempts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to replace pizza with something healthier, claiming pizza contains tomato paste, making it a…

Moreover, fast food marketing is misleading us and children about fast food. Fast food industry identifies children as their “future customer” and spent a large amount of money to attract children by its marketing strategies. An average fast food company spends $2 billions USD every year on child marketing (Schor,89). As a result, kids watch at least ten junk food ads every day in average and about 98% of those products are high in fat, sugar (Schor, 92). These fast food brands establish their…
