Ready To Eat Chapter 4 Analysis

In chapter four and five, when the boys stole food from others that did not have much, I believe it must have been a very difficult decision for the boys. Especially, because they knew what it was like not to have food. I also believe that the boys were hesitant when stealing the food but they knew that if they did not, they may not survive. Because of the situation that the boys were in, I do not see stealing the food was unavoidable. On page 27, when Ishmael said, “We got hungrier day after day, to the point that our stomachs were hurting and our visions blurred at times.” shows that the boys lack of nutrition was beginning to impair their visions and beginning to bring pain to their stomachs. The conditions were very tough for everyone

Joey doesn’t visit Paul’s home anymore after hearing Erik and Arthur. On page 145 of Tangerine, “Joey hasn’t set foot in our in our home since the day he met up with Erik and Arthur. He will probably never set foot in it again. Bur Mom could never understand that. For Joey, our house may as well be covered with canvas and bound by ropes, because it’s filled with poison.” Erik had chosen to make fun of Joey’s brother. This impacted Paul because Joey was his friend at the time. Paul understood that Joey wouldn’t want to come over to the house, and possibly stop being his

Not knowing how her mother would feel Mia crept downstairs and out the doors. When she got outside she was greeted by her brother, sister, dad, and her boyfriend. At the bowling alley, Mia and Erik were in teams against Tara and Johnny and then Jeremih switched with Tara. They played multiple rounds until it was time to go eat. Mia's team had won against Tara's team in bowling. After the game, they went to this nice five-star establishment. For an hour they eat, talked, and laughed at some good memories and new memories.

Joey states, “ This place is like the darkest Africa. Like the Amazon jungle. Like we’re learning to live among the natives here” (150). Joey doesn’t see how he was being mildly racist when saying the place was like the darkest Africa. Joey also doesn’t see how rude he was being to the school and the students going there. This affects how Paul sees Joey by seeing the ugliness in Joey’s words. Two of paul’s friends gino and joey both don’t see how insensitive they are.

School has just let out for summer. John has daily chores to complete to help his dad with the workload of the ranch. John liked the work on the ranch he had a love for the land and the horses. Between his girlfriend, mom, and sisters john felt overcrowded with women and wanted to be away from them. When john got into the truck to leave he tells his friend “...Women! Between Kelsey my sisters and my mom I haven’t had a peaceful minute in weeks!” John was ready for a change of scenery.

When Josh left, he had no idea how tough the times really were. Growing up during the depression meant growing up fast and while Josh was on the streets begging for food Josh finally realized how bad things were for his father. On page 68 it states, “There were many times when I was ready to give up during the cold weeks of November, times when I really believed that Joey and I would have to wander out into some open field and let the cold finish us off. But always such times something turned up, something happened which seemed to say not yet, not yet, and we would find food and rest and the spirit to go on.” Josh learned the hard way how to survive on his own. He struggled trying to find job after job, losing his best friend Howie, and scavenging for food. He truly knew what it was like. From these experiences, Josh finally understood his father and the way of his actions. The life of an adult then and now are so different that I’m sure no matter what books we read we will never truly be able to understand the challenges that millions of people went

First off, every time there has been a death in Sugarloaf no one knows where Joey was at the time of the deaths. In the case of his fathers death no one was around so Joey could’ve spooked Shieka, which caused her to step on Teds head killing him. Then as his mom was searching for him in the woods during the night something jumped out of the woods and knocked her over the edge of the cliff. In the case of the campers’ death he had ran off because he was frustrated but showed up later on. And lastly as Bill Sikes the caretaker was looking for Joey after he had ran off, Bill was brutally killed, his head barely attached to his head like he was a prisoner being executed. ☺ Even the next morning Joey woke up in bloodstained clothes which further gives the illusion that he could be the killer since he is never around when the murders happen. “Everywhere dark stains covered his clothes. Bloodstains. Still wet, still sticky (Saul 224). This quote clearly shows that for some reason the morning the Bill Sikes was killed that Joey had wet bloodstains on his clothes but had no idea where they had come from since at the time Joey did not know that Bill had been killed. It’s like Joey has an alter ego and when he slips into that other reality he no longer can remember what he is doing or has any control over his actions. Its like Joey is a mad dog. ☺ Where he

Women throughout the decades have overcome substantial obstacles. They have gained the right to vote, the ability to sit on a Supreme Court, and the right to choose what to do with their bodies. In Sara Dickerman’s “Food Fright” and Caroline Knapp’s “Add Cake, Subtract Self-Esteem”, the women both touch on how women are still not shown as equal in society. Despite the many great triumphs, women are still scrutinized and made to feel inferior to their male counterparts through means of criticizing their bodies, intelligence, and even pay.

When human, the way he experienced food was the same way he experienced Dean Winchester as an angel. He needed Dean to give him substance, to keep going--to survive. He understood

The final reason that Joey’s personality is going downhill is because he talked so mean and made the differences between him and the protagonist affect their friendship. The narrator writes, “I took in the ugliness of Joey’s words, and, I saw, for the first time how different he was from me” (Bloor 150). This shows how the protagonist truly realizes the differences between him and Joey and really sees how awful he is. As Joey talks, Paul takes in the true harshness of Joey’s words. Those words made Paul realize how much different they are, and it ruins their friendship.

Virginia and Steven agreed to leave town before her parents shifted her off to her aunt the day before. Both had jobs and was saving all the money they could until departure. As weeks past Virginia knew time was not on their side, she ate as little as possible to prevent from showing, so they can have more money as she continue to work. After a month, Virginia and Steven had no idea what was about to happened. One morning her parents entered her room unexpectedly. They told her it was time to leave for Chicago. Virginia

Kenny goes back to Grandma Sands and finds Joey there alive. He thinks he’s seeing her ghost, but realizes she’s actually alive and the family

Joey went through being neglected, abused, to aggression, and then the final stop is your world falls apart. This is where you learn helplessness. Joey has done everything wrong by thinking that he was taking the easy way to money and acceptance from his crew. When all that is taken away through jail time and felonies the helplessness sets in. Joey and I sat for weeks after he was released to probation and sent out resumes.
