In one chapter, the author tells the story of Mathew Kabong, a pizza delivery boy. He shows us that Kabong, like most other fast-food workers, is treated like a renewable resource. He receives very little pay and is not provided with any benefits. If he complains about these conditions, he will be fired and replaced in an instant. Schlosser attempts to appeal to the reader’s emotions when describing these rough conditions, because he knows that this will help add some dimension to these otherwise dehumanized workers who fix people their food. The author also tells the story of a franchisee, Feamster, who starts out as a hockey player and then later ends up a Little Caesar’s owner. It then takes him three years to pay off his initial debt. However, his initial monetary investment turns out to worth it, since today, he owns five Little Caesars restaurants, and his annual revenues are about 2.5 million. Feamster’s story involves a great deal of hard work and perseverance, which allows readers to relate to him and feel compassion for him. At the same time, it supports Schlosser’s argument because readers can see how much more successful Feamster is than most fast-food workers, and how becoming successful in the fast-food industry is almost like playing the lottery. Even though Feamster is an average guy, his workers still never attain the same level of success as him. He just got lucky. Personal stories help Schlosser’s argument by giving us a look into the lives of real workers to help us evaluate how difficult it is for each of them to achieve

April Walker was a new student at St. Nicolau High School and so far it has not been what she had expected it to be. When she first met her teacher Mrs. Johnson she embarrassed herself to her and the whole class by slipping on the wet part of the floor. Everyone started laughing, April also laughed with them trying to fit in with what the class is doing. When it was time for lunch she sat alone while others were gossiping about her and how she goofed up on her first try. Mrs. Johnson sat down next to April. “I know that it's hard to fit in on the first few days or so but- trust me and our class, and they’ll come to you sooner or later”. That cheered up April, when she walked back home with her brother Henry , he felt dizzy and very weak. His eyes also looked very drowsy. “ Are you ok”? April asked .“Huh”? Henry answered. Henry felt cramps and bruises forming on his back. Henry felt straight to the ground. “Henry, Henry, Henry”! “Help”!

Despite the fact with it being in probably the sketchiest part of Detroit Michigan, Dot’s Donut Shop was about to get famous. Poppa Dot and Nana Darlene had spent days trying to come up with a way to save their beloved donut shop. Dot’s had been around for multiple decades and the key to the business had been passed down to eldest son on Dot’s father’s side of the family. Whoever picked the location of this donut shop, must have been the stupidest human to ever walk the face of the earth. Graffiti was plastered in the side of nearly every wall, fence, and sidewalk in sight. Every two minutes you either heard a gunshot ringing, a woman screaming, or a police siren blaring. Buildings were crumbling piece by piece, and homeless men stood on the

Rumours were quickly spreading across the whole school. They’d heard people saying things about Kristen and Casey selling marijuana, the two girls always carrying drugs on them, the dumbest girls, etc. Their reputation had dropped a lot from intelligent and obedient young ladies to irresponsible sellers. These were only rumours that people started to make up. Kristen was still certain that Casey hadn’t explained the full story to her. On the next day of school Kristen and Casey stayed at the café for lunch. Since Kristen was very eager to know why the policemen came at Casey’s door she had once again decided to ask her best friend Casey. Kristen took her stuff and went and sat beside Casey. “Hey Casey,” Kristen Said. “Hi Kristen!” Replied Casey. “So you know about the police car incident you had the other day? I need to know what is going on.” Said Kristen straight up. Casey asked her what she knew about the incident so far. Immediately the words “possession of marijuana” that she had heard when she walked by Casey’s house popped in to her head. Kristen quietly asked Casey, “Does this have anything to do with drugs?” “Yes,” replied Casey. The bell rang just then and Casey and

His dream had been put on hold so long he doubted he'd ever be able to get back to it. All he needed was one chance, but as busy as he'd been he doubted that such a chance would come along. As he walked into the store and old lady passed him, who he assumed was her grand daughter walked with her, she had golden hair and vivid blue eyes, whiched looked right into Adams as if she;d recognized something beneath his own. Paying little attention, Adam walked to the back of the store and found the shelf that carried baby supplies. $15 for the smallest bag of Huggies, but Adam searched for a generic brand but found none. Sighing he seized the bag of Huggies and walked to the cooler, where he grabbed a galleon of milk and a dozen eggs. Making his way to the front of the store he found Miss. Riley sitting behind the counter, reading the latest issue of Soap Digest.. She smiled as he approached and set the maazine

Needing some groceries, she had gone out and just had returned back as it was merely afternoon. It was pretty hot outside so she had a summery outfit that came to her mid thighs and pretty much snugged loosely around her body. When she heard her doorbell, she was in kitchen, putting her groceries away and was just finishing. She wiped her hands on a towel as she walked with it to get the door. She pushed the tiny curtain to peek out of the small window next to the door, to see who it was and found a well-dressed man who seemed as if he was here to sell something to her. She unlocked her door and opened it, seeming hesitant and giving him an unpleasant gaze, showing she wasn’t interested in what he was selling, “May I help you?” She said flicking her hair over her shoulders. Now, she stood tall at 5ft 7 inches but he seemed to just tower over her as she had to tilt her head back to look up at
