Booger Pretzels And Other Gastronomic Delicacies Summary

A mixture of excessive food involvement and analysis of personality produce The Curse of the Poisoned Pretzel. This tale has a theme of food, mainly bubblegum, and the often manifestation in the text of this theme is practically absurd. Even though this story has a ludicrous amount of bubble gum, it can be analyzed past this seemingly childish story to reveal human psychological tendencies. These tendencies are partially responsible for the perception of Skidmore's guilt. Skidmore is described in a way that makes him seem suspicious, and is therefore assumed to have intentionally murdered his brother. The perspective that Skidmore is guilty is produced from: the initial description of him, Skidmore's motive that is introduced, and the events that occur after the death of Boddlebrooks.

Widely different from Manchester is Skidmore due to the fact he is a sad, and creepy individual. Also he does not have a knack for snacks or sweets. Two divergent individuals, yet one unable to function without the help of the other. Now the story would not be complete without one brother becoming completely jealous and despising the other. Commonly this leads to several things such as arguing, fighting, or to better put it, leads to betrayal. Betrayal, a common theme among siblings, say one

Arachnophobia—this is irrational fear is one of the most common in the world. Indeed, this phobia can plague the minds and psyche of just about anyone, regardless of race, gender, or age. In fact, arachnophobia is one of the most copious of the specific phobias and it afflicts people across regardless of their geographical and cultural boundaries, (Graham C.L. Davery 2014). People who suffer from this phobia tend to feel uneasy in any area they believe could harbor spiders or that has visible signs of their presence, such as webs. If an arachnophobic sees a spider they may not enter the general vicinity until they have overcome the panic attack that is often associated with their phobia (Princeton 2014).

People have no idea what occurs in the canning room at Durham’s. The chemists advertise mushroom catsup. In reality, the men who made these don’t even know what they look like. They would put animal 's body parts that humans wouldn 't eat into the cans. “ "De-vyled" ham was made out of the waste ends of smoked beef that was too small to be sliced by the machines; also tripe, dyed with chemicals so, that it would not show white . Finally the hard cartilaginous gullets of beef, after the tongues, had been cut out” (Sinclair).” mixing all these animal parts they created a new mixture which tasted like something, then sold it which would earn them a great amount of wealth.They gave cows tuberculous to make them gain weight quickly.

Family, for the most part, is the glue in everyone's lives. Parents, siblings, aunts/uncles, and cousins have a place in our hearts that make us feel fully accepted as a person. However, there are people who hate their family members. There is one person specifically who hates one of his family members, this was Skidmore. Skidmore despised his brother more than anyone else in his life. In the excerpt from the story The Curse of the Poisoned Pretzel, author Paul Haven gives important background information about Skidmore's brother, Boodlebrooks. He enlightens readers that Boodlebrooks is a well known man, who makes several people joyful, and is a generous person. Although it is proven that he is a good man, Skidmore has a built up hatred for his brother. It is evident that Boodlebrooks death was by Skidmore's invention of the pretzel, and clearly shown by Haven that Skidmore murdered his brother by poisoning the pretzel. The short sections of the story ,The Curse of the Poisoned Pretzel, is clearly proven to be a murder case out of hatred, for Haven, not actually saying Skidmore is guilty, describes Skidmore as having a shady appearance, being angered at his brother about the bubble gum he sells, and by far is jealous of Boodlebrooks.
