This gave my father a sense of duty and the belief that he was doing what his country needed him to do. His experiences taught him to never…

Thesis: When looking for Pho in Philadelphia, PA I found the restaurant Pho 75. Located at 1122 Washington Ave in Northeast Philly, this restaurant serves amazing Vietnamese food. It is hard to standout due to the vicinity of so many competitors. So how the establishment flourished, attracting Anthony Bourdain from the Travel Channel. Pho 75 has easily become one of my favorite Pho spots because of the food, price and service. When searching for a secondary source to evaluate for the assignment.…

The chart has shown us that a typical one-day-menu of Vietnamese are closely meeting that standard of USDA. Overall, Vietnamese consumed a little bit more grains and protein than needed. The total calories came to 2131, which is 131 calories above the average daily calories recommend.

inclination to remember things the way he would like them to have been rather than the way they were” (xxi). Caputo stays true to the story throughout the book. He could have very easily not mentioned the parts of the war when Americans mistreated the Vietnamese. He did not do this because he knows that both the good and the bad part of the war…

Whether it be a struggle through racial discrimination, bullying, or simply being under a foul circumstance, most people have felt persecuted, or singled out at some point in their lifetime by nature. Some may choose to roll over and let their torturers win, allow them to break their spirit and prevent them from achieving what they truly want, but in Invictus by William Earnest Henley, the story of the former is told. The story of a man ravaged by tuberculosis, someone who had already lost one…

another food truck to the existing fleet of three and possibly another route. The changes should result in an increase in revenues as well as profits within a two years.

My parents always hated the war, mainly because my mother’s father and and my father’s brothers were killed by the Viet Cong but they had other reasons.
