Sharla Mcbride: Planet Popcorn

While some characters are considered minor, their impact is anything but unimportant. It tends to be the people who attain the least recognition that have the biggest effect overall. This is why authors, like Orwell, are able to use characters like O’Brien and Charrington to move the character development along.. In the novel, 1984 by George Orwell, Julia, who appears to have selfish beliefs, shifts her views of freedom after Charting gives her a safe space, and O’Brien shifts her view on love after he tortures her.

The universe is huge and if it's that big it can hold many things including aliens. Many people report being abducted or seeing UFO’s. People have reported, have physical, or have heard aliens to prove they are real.

I don’t agree with Leo’s choice because he only just made the problem even more difficult for Stargirl and himself. During the shunning and after his visit with Archie there were times where Leo would avoid Stargirl and also he wishes that they could be more like them or they could be more like Stargirl. He doesn’t really do anything to fix the shunning. The only thing he did was change Stargirl into Susan, but it seems like it was more for Leo not for Stargirl. He seem to love Susan more than Stargirl because she finally more like them. Like the rest of Mika students.

Popcorn is over 4,000 years old and in the old days they would pop it in hot sand. Yuck!

The movie ‘Her’ is the story about Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a man who develops a relationship with Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), an intelligent computer operating system personified through a female voice. At the beginning of the film, Theodore is completely inept when it comes to how to make relationship with person, specifically women. However, after he gets to know Samantha, an OS program, a feeling of true love develops inside of Theodore’s mind. Then he realizes how he was fatuous in his past. Throughout the film, the director (Spike Jonze) uses five distinct color schemes to correspond Theodore’s feeling and situation.

In the essay, "Hunger," by Maggie Helwig, the author states that eating disorders are a form of protest by women against spiritual starvation brought by extreme consumerism; she does this by tracing the symbol meaning of hunger. One of the attractive features of Helwig's essay is her ability to persuade to her audiences by the use of research and experiences. Helwig's use of language, through definitions and various repetitions, illustrates and reinforces her perspective, therefore sending a powerful message to victims of eating disorders.

For this summer reading, I chose to read Fried Green Tomatoes at The Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flag. The book is set in Alabama; it is mostly set in the early 1900s to the late 1980s. While in the early 1920s, this was the time of the Great Depression, a time where poverty and racism were well known. The story is told in both present, from the 1920’s - 1940’s, when the events were occurring, and past tense, when Ninny Threadgoode retold the events to Evelyn Couch, in the 1980’s. Fried Green Tomatoes at The Whistle Stop Cafe begins with “The Weems Weekly” introducing the opening of the cafe ran by Ruth Jamison and Idgie Threadgoode. Then, Ninny Threadgoode and Evelyn Couch meet in the visitors lounge in a nursing home. Mrs. Threadgoode

The brand of popcorn testing has proven to be inconsistent. Each major brand of popcorn claims to have the highest amount of popped kernels. We chose this method of experiment because we can control the variables of the experiment. By controlling the temperature we can determine which method will yield the most amount of popcorn instead of relying on which brand claims to have the most yield of popcorn or studies on brands. This experiment can be used on all brands as long as the brand name stays the same.

*The seeds must be counted in order to determine if name brand popcorn pops better

In Cooper’s universe, every right was based on responsibility. The opportunities that she sought for black girls and boys would provide them with better tools with which to serve their people. “Ultimately, her proud, demanding feminism offered to black men a stronger comrade in a partnership struggling to improve the lives of all African Americans” (Berson, 1994). Although her life was privileged in relation to those of the

The film Food Inc., like many other films of its category is not so much of an informative documentary, rather more of a slanderous exposé which blows the lid off of the food industry and its operations. To say that the film is neutral and tends towards more of an educative approach would be a misinterpretation to say the least. Throughout the entire movie it is always evident that the movie aims not solely to educate its audience about the truth of their food, but to convert the misinformed and inspire a rebellion against food industry practices. The movie does this through a tactful approach of bombarding its audience with gruesome clips, facts and testimonial story lines. The film asserts it claim through a thrilling critique of the horrific meat production process which is most prevalent in the U.S food industry and its impact on humans and the environment, while extoling alternative practices which seem to be more sustainable and humane, yet are underutilized. The film goes on to highlight the different players in the food politics arena, emphasizing the role that government agencies play. Also the film divulges the reality that is the monopolization of the food industry by big multinational corporations such as Monsanto Company, Tyson Food, Perdue Farms, Smithfield Foods, etc.

Cracker Jacks sales will represent a tiny part of the Frito-Lay’s business currently, however the chances are high to get the numbers high from this division if proper decisions are made. Frito-Lay is the leader in the US market concerning market share and sales volume. So they can use their advertising and marketing experience to uplift CJ. CJ should be marketed as a stackable treat which is healthy as of natural ingredients like popcorn. Marketing researchers should focus on the small children as the target market as well. By launching the different sizes and convenient packages to the customers so that they can grab it and go rather than having a box. The CJ should be made available to as many stores as possible by utilizing the same direct store delivery channels. A careful analysis has to be done to change any features like gifts in each bag and the flavor of the CJ, because that is the major point of CJ and most of the customers are attracted because of that particular features.

She’s kind of dramatic, but I love it because she’s dramatic in a funny way, if that makes sense. I can relate to her because I’m also like that. I like to make people think that I’m dramatic, but in reality I’m not. In the movie Pitch Perfect, Fat Amy is the funny one. She is the one who makes the audience laugh, and from my point of view, I feel like I can relate to Fat Amy because I love making people laugh. When I make people smile or at least giggle, it satisfies me. In the movie, Fat Amy has a funny outlook on everything. She makes a joke out of everything, even if she doesn’t mean to. I always see a funny side to everything. Some people think it’s not good, but I think it is sometimes because I don’t like to be serious at all times.

We have eight years of experience in providing popcorn kernels to major popcorn manufacturers. We supply popcorn to several national grocery store chains for their store-brand microwave popcorn. These grocery stores include: Kroger, Albertsons, and Randalls. We have grown consistently over our eight-year history, quadrupling sales in the last three years. Moreover, we hold a patent on No-Maid corn, a popcorn hybrid that we developed that has less than 1 old maid per every 1,000 kernels. While we have not transitioned to all No-Maid kernels, our mix of No-Maid and regular kernels allows us to consistently fall well below the industry average of old-maid kernels.
