Analyzing David's Life

As a young child, David had a loving family, his Mommy, his father and his two brothers. By the time he was seven, he was being starved and abused by his mother. In his life, David had to face many challenges. One of which is having to play his mother’s “games” that left him half dead. He would also get punished for being a “bad boy” when he never did anything. Later, he had enough courage to tell someone, his 4th grade teachers at Thomas Edison Elementary School.

In the novel The Chrysalids by John Wyndham it explains the life of a boy named David

David was known as the heroic underdog from when he was little to know a grown up adult he faced many difficult challenges growing up and managed to defeat his challenge. finishing high school and trying to make it big in the world spending most of his time working outside of school and spending time going to school David managed to pull through go to college attending University of Redlands and Yale University earning his degree in business and is working as a successful lawyer still achieving his goals till this

In Don’t Blame the Eater, David Zinczenko composes his opinion on the fast food industry’s absence of nutritional information and more. Zinczenko starts his piece by giving his own life experience. He recalls his childhood trying to find food and that fast food was “the only available options for an American kid to get an affordable meal” (Zinczenko 462). By giving his own life experience, Zinczenko relates to the reader and grabs their attention.

The passage entitled “Don’t Blame the Eater” written by David Zincenko starts off with a personal anecdote about his youth. He writes about how he was a “latchkey kid (Zincenko 241)” and how every day he had to have fast food for lunch and dinner. Zincenko goes on to write about how obesity and diabetes have become more prevalent in today’s society. He argues that fast food is more available than healthy food, and there is no nutritional information on the fast food that people are buying. Because of this, he believes that the fast food industry and society as a whole are set up for failure because of lawsuits and deteriorating health.

David presents himself as a wayward lost soul caught in a shaky tower. Growing up, David never truly had a childhood. His parents argued to the point of physical fights, his dad would ridicule and beat him in drunken rage, and for the most part this was how life was. David lived in fear waking up the next morning to the next challenge or emotional trigger. Little did David know, the triggers of his dad yelling down the hall activated more than just a startle response and negative thoughts of worthlessness and feeling unloved and unwanted leading to “toughening up” while he was hit (Beck & Beck, 2011).

David’s society was a worse lifestyle compared to today’s society. The people of today’s society have more technology than David’s. Citizens of today’s society have a lot more freedom in life, unlike those living in David’s society. In today’s society, the people of Canada have different types of religion, but that does not determine if you will be living in bad circumstances or even being killed. It is the opposite in David’s society since religion controls everything, which leaves the people of Waknuk in many life or death situations. The people of Waknuk use religion for power, which causes misery for many citizens, compared to today’s society.

The doctors help appeal to logos through quantitative data and expert testimony by examining him before the experiment and determining that he is in great health condition with a body fat of ll% and a body weight of 185.5 pounds. They also examine him during the experiment to determine the effect of eating McDonalds on his health. In the course of eating McDonalds three times a day he gains weight and by the end has gained a total of 24.5 pounds and gained 18 percent body fat. The doctors concluded that his chance of developing heart disease had double due to his elevated blood pressures, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels. By having the doctors provide the data and expert examinations the credibly of his experiment was reassured. Along with the doctors lawyers that were suing the company were interviewed and a former US surgeon general. They all agreed that fast food was a problem but that eating out had increased over the years causing the increase in obesity. After completing one month of eating nothing but McDonalds, Spurlock and the doctors concluded that McDonalds’ fast food was the main cause of his dangerous

David Zinczenko’s essay, “Don’t Blame the Eater,” stresses the connection of fast food restaurants to obese children. With his parents spilt up, and his mother working long hours to support the family, as a child Zinczenko had a limited choice of fast food restaurants such as Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza Hut for both lunch and dinner. Just like today those were the only affordable meals for teenagers. Due to this, at the age of 15, Zinczenko becomes obese (212 pounds). Unlike a lot of people with similar issues, he he turns his life around by joining the Navy Reserves. Zinczenko notes that fast-food restaurants are located almost everywhere, attract to children, are cheap, and are easy to access. Hence why he believes that

However people are blaming fast food resturants for them gaining weight and becoming obese but that is their choice. David explains how he gained 212 pounds from eating fast food all the time. But that was because at the time that is what his mother and him could afford because it was cheap. They weren’t worried about if it was the healthiest thing on the menu all they cared about was that they were gonna be able to have a meal so they won’t be starving. David had become so obese from eating fast food so much.

She talks about how half the money spent by Americans is spent on eating out at restaurants or fast food places.instead of eating at home.For example, she implies 2 scenarios that go together to make a very effective argument here, she says“Half the average American food budget goes on food eaten outside the home,much of which is high fat.”(para.4) and “Because fewer households have a stay-at-home parent to prepare meals from scratch, families increasingly turn to highly processed convenience foods, takeouts or fast food restaurants.”(para.4). This a great approach from her part because she then begins to talk about Mcdonald's which sells there food in quantity and with very high levels of fats and ontop of it being convenient and cheap it is a to go spot for Americans.The way she used ethos here was amazing because as she mentions later on, Mcdonald's is a prime example of a fast food chain and is also a place that makes tons of revenue from Americans who spend their money on quick and cheap food. and it is a leading cause of obesity easily because one supersize meal contains up to 1,550 calories.All of her statistics prove great points and provide factual information as well as reliable

The article “Don’t Blame the Eater" by David Zinczenko discusses David 's childhood and how it has affected him. In addition, he speaks about fast food and the companies behind it.

A recurring theme in the character of David Bell is his inflated opinion of himself. Chapter Two begins with David stating, “I was an extremely handsome young man” (DeLillo 2.11). David continues to describe his appearance in an almost scientific manner that would appear to be simply a factual statement. When David equates his relationship with his mirror as therapeutic, however, we see how much he stakes his opinion of himself on the way he looks. “I was blue-eyed David Bell. Obviously my life depended on this fact” (DeLillo 2.11).

In David’s case, there had a gathering of more than six hundred people. It had some problems. The reason is that it could cause some serious distresses to the local people if a gathering in an open place of twenty or more persons (whether or not trespassers) at which the music is played during the night (with or without intermissions) and it is played loudness and duration.

There are many different aspects of sculpture, in terms of the materials and forms that artists used to express the subjects they wished to present. Sculptures are created in a space that can be viewed from different angles – specifically three direct angles – the side, the front and the back. This is what is known as three-dimensional space, and also know as sculpture in the round. There are two sculptures (three-dimensional) works that are excellent choices for discussion, comparison, and contrasting. These two are Donnatelo’s David and Apoxyomenos (the Scraper). The latter was a bronze statue copied from a Roman statue by Lysippos of 330 B.C.E., 6' 9" high (www.khanacademy.org).
