Descriptive Essay On The Fair

A World’s Fair is an “[I]nternational exposition that features exhibits dealing with commerce, industry, and science.” (World Book Encyclopedia 412) Entertainment is also present along with cultural activities. In 1893, the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, although inaugurated a year late, commemorated the discovery of America. I feel that the Exposition displayed some of the more beautiful architecture of its time; its immense buildings and sculptures drew heavily from Greek and other classical styles, and it could possible be because of the sweeping popularity in Beaux Arts architecture.

After reading a chapter of The American Pageant by David Kennedy, and a chapter of A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, they both discuss slavery but in two different contexts. Slavery is a huge part of American history, it has shaped America in ways that are still lasting today. Zinn focuses more on the hardships of the slaves from the shipment, through the cruel work. Kennedy tends to focus more on the trade of slaves and how it shaped the settlers. Zinn's focus on the slaves hardships, gives a better depiction of what slavery was truly like, through the focus on slave conditions, treatment of whites vs blacks, and how racism originated.

The Colorado River Fair, as part of the network of California fairs, provides an enormous return on investment both economically and socially. Fairs celebrate the town’s history and heritage. They are an educational opportunity for youth and provide wholesome entertainment for families. Four-H and FFA programs support California’s vibrant agriculture sector. Community members of all ages enter their artwork, baked goods, photography and other homemade products in pursuit of coveted blue ribbons. Many non-profit and charity-based organizations participate in activities at the fair.

By the 1750s, the American colonies had come a long way from their original struggles and failures. They had grown in both population and economic stability. Even so, relations between the colonies and Great Britain were strained. The colonists became more and more discontented with England’s control of their political and economic affairs. The colonies were dissatisfied with the rules of British Mercantilism, or the idea that the colonies were a mere source of raw materials and market for the British mainland. This animosity for the motherland had then been seeded by the lack of economic freedom and the harsh taxes that had been set on everyday luxuries and necessities;

Slavery is an institution that has existed since ancient times. To argue over its immorality is irrelevant, as its ethical and moral implications are blatantly evident. However, to say that the main cause of disdain of the institution from the North stems from its immorality is inherently incorrect, due to the fact, that as previously stated, slavery has existed since ancient times, perforce its immorality could not simply be the main cause of hatred toward this withstanding system from the North. Nevertheless, it goes without saying that their disgust toward the peculiar institution (a common name used to refer to slavery) is related to its ethical implications. However, the question still

The fair appeals to a wide variety of people including fans, families, friends, and tourists. Besides your typical fair entertainment, the state fair has many non-fair attractions. The fair hosts many distinguished musical performances drawing large amounts of fans. The Cotton Bowl is located within fairgrounds, showcasing The Red River Showdown between the University of Texas at Austin and Oklahoma. As you would expect, the fair is also a very family friendly place. The fair offers a lot of entertainment gauged for children such as rides, carnival games, and face painting.

The State Fair, for many years, has brought together people from statewide, even nationwide. Coming from Texas, I have been a part of the tradition of extravagant state fairs since I was as child, and have had the pleasure of meeting people from all over the nation. State fairs have many attractions that convey the beauty and culture of the state in events and contests which show the production of agriculture and, in the twentieth century, industrial gains. The fairs typically consist of things such as carnivals, which have numerous rides like we see in the film, State Fair, and contests that promote a culture of domesticity. The film, State Fair, is a perfect example which explains the importance of the state fair, but also American society and culture. Furthermore, State Fair being filmed after World War II truly captures the happiness of postwar America, as well as the importance of family life as the shadow of the Cold War looms.

Chickens used for egg production typically live in one of many battery cages crammed into a long windowless shed. Ten or more of these hens are packed together in a cage that is about the size of a drawer in a filing cabinet. This causes frustration and fighting between the hens. To keep this from happening, farmers often cut or burn part of their beaks off without medicine to dull the pain. Hens who become sick are usually not given proper veterinary care and are left to die slowly and painfully. Some of the eggs laid by the hens are hatched by another industry to supply more chickens for egg production. Since the hatched male chicks cannot lay eggs, they are often killed by grinding or suffocation. When the hens grow old and stop producing as many eggs, many farmers will deny them proper nutrition to try and “shock” their bodies into laying eggs one last time. Then they are slaughtered and their bodies are used for food scraps.

The pigs then introduce “The Seven Commandments of Animalism” and write them on the barn wall; soon the main idea is captured in the minds of all the animals, “FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD”.

Society has set certain stereotypes to girls and women about what it is considered to be beautiful that girl’s focus more in their appearances than in their internal selves. Every girl deserves to feel beautiful because they all are, but how can girls think that they are beautiful if there is always that constant reminder of what being considered beautiful is. It is often seen on TV various shows where little girls are being judged by the way they walk, turn, how their makeup and hair is done and what they are wearing, and obviously their beauty. Society has set such high standards of what is considered beautiful and girls are being the victims of those standards. Girls now feel that they are not beautiful enough because they do not meet

Snowball, an ardent believer of Animalism, is “a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker is speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character. (Orwell, George)” Snowball is a young pig that is inventive, innovative and beyond intelligent. Snowball is parallel to Leon Trotsky. The leader of the pigs puts his heart and soul into advancing Animal Farm’s infrastructure and government.

It is Thursday, August 24th, the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. I am here with my family, a friend and his mom, and one of my sister’s friends. It seems so long since last year’s fair. I always look forward to the state fair, even though it’s pretty much the same every year.

Throughout high school I have had many different experiences. Some of them were good and some bad, but the ones that I’m going to remember most are the ones that I had to take charge and become a leader. One of the first time that I had take charge was for the Winnebago County Fair. At the fair for the most part was in charge of helping set up the rabbit and chicken charges the week before the fair. But, for some unexplained reason my mom, the poultry superintendent, is always busy answering questions about the fair to newcomers. As a result she told me to make sure the cages got set up the way they needed to be. So for the past two years, not including the first time it was it was tossed at me, I have been in charge of making sure the cages
