Soda Pop Short Story

As I crawled, I heard leaves rustling ahead of me. Suddenly, I felt drops of rain landing on my back. I continued moving until I couldn’t see the house at all. Then, I decided to lay on the ground to take a break to catch my breath. Ferns surrounded me. They swayed in the breeze as the rain drizzled down.

On the way home I thought about asking Soda about my essay. I knew Soda would tell me that “it was perfect and that I was so smart”, Darry would say “it needs more information”. When I walked into the house Soda had a weed and a letter in his hand, I thought to myself “It’s very strange for Soda to smoke.” He only smokes when he needs to calm his nerves. When i looked at his face closer he looked happy but mad. I asked “What’s wrong.” He didn’t reply, so I sat down next to him and the letter was from Sandy! The letter said “ Hello Soda i’ve missed you.” “There is something very important that i should have told you a long time ago.” “ I lied when I found out that I was pregnant I was so happy but, I thought that it would hold you back from being you.” That’s when I decided to move to Florida. “ I made you believe that the baby was someone else’s when it’s actually yours.” Right now your baby girl is five months old.” “ Soda i’m really sorry for any pain I caused but, if you want to see her I will give you the money for you and your brothers to come see her.” “ From Sandy.” Soda quickly crumbled up the paper and ran out the door. Shortly after that Darry was home from school.

Have you ever had a sip of soda and thought it could be dangerous? Probably not. You are probably thinking how nice and sweet it tastes. You are actually sending a whole lot of sugar to your liver. I created this scene to show that soda can be dangerous and putting labels on the drink can save hundreds of lives. If you put warning labels on soda and it says it can cause headaches, tiredness, diabetes, and even a heart attack people will consume less soda. People should have a right to know what the drink can do to your body. My three reasons are it could save lives, sugar is already a big part of our society, and warning labels decreased smoking.

The memories leading up to Sodapop Curtis' practical loss of sanity were still fresh in his own mind, though they seemed like they were centuries ago. The gut-wrenching memories always made him a fool when he'd be certain that they were forgotten, only for them to come crashing down on him like a ton of lead, and always at the worst moments. Sodapop would reminisce one of those sweet childhood memories, playing in the park with his brothers or mom's soft, gentle voice while she took care of him when he was sick. But the relief never lasted, and those memories would crumble to dust once the others arose from the still, deep waters. They consumed him, ate away at him like if he were nothing but a rotting corpse and just like that, he was dead

Obesity has become a real problem in countries around the globe, in America especially. Corpulence, when seen so widespread, is an epidemic and it is one that needs to be rigorously helped. Soda is a large part of Americans’ lives which is unfortunate knowing what it can do to you. These laws to be passed in New York that bar the use of food stamps for excessively sugary beverages are hopefully a step in that direction. However, soda is not the only cause for people’s rotundness. Many factors including fast foods, junk foods, and the egregious amounts of sugar in too many products also contribute to this sweeping problem. So my question is this: why stop at sodas? New York could really set a precedent if they bar the use of food stamps for

Recently there has been an ongoing battle between the US government and large soda companies. money is the sole purpose behind this battle. Soda companies want to sell their product by whatever means are necessary while the government wants to decrease the obesity rate in the country. Because the government intervined with this, the soda companies continued sales by advertising the sodas being good for you. Soda companies such as Pepsi released advertisements that used tactics to make Americans believe their product is healthy, good to buy and beneficial to the consumer.

In america people drink sugary sodas every single day. Just because we put labels on our drinks warning everyone that it can cause these things like diabetes and obesity. If someone likes a soda it doesn’t matter what’s in it. I think if i like something so much i would probably already know what is inside it and what the drinks can do to me. Labels will not help people stop drinking the sodas, it will just let them know what lies ahead.

As Americans we should have a choice on what we drink and put into our bodies and not be told by lawmakers what to do.

Should Beyonce be allowed to star in soda ads? This question has started a big controversial argument. My personal belief is she should be able to. I believe this because many other famous people have helped sell soda before, Americans already drink soda all the time, and it is the buyer’s choice to buy the soda or not.

Whether or not you’re health conscious, it’s safe to assume that you already know the dangers of consuming too much sugar. Sugar laden foods have been associated with a variety of diseases or conditions, such as obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease. Yet, most of us continue to consume these products, without much after-thought. Now, a new review of study literature is spelling out exactly why we all should permanently ban soda.

Did you know that soft drinks that are sugar sweetened contribute to the development of diabetes? Well, drinking soda not only causes diabetes but it also causes heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, strokes and tooth decay. High consumption of sugary drinks can obstruct with a number of neurological processes, mostly those associated with memory making and with that everyday intellectual work like memory formations and learning become much more difficult as a result. And also a research states that it can also increase people’s risk of getting chronic heart disease and an inflated risk of pulmonary complications, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (“Effects of Soda”). Soda is consisted of high-fructose corn syrup, many different

One of the main causes of child obesity is eating and drinking awfully. At schools this issue can be addressed by offering healthy drinks such as water, white milk, and natural fruit juice. At first, kids may not enjoy them as much, but in the future they will thank us. Nowadays, so many people eat and drink terribly and it's time that somebody helps with it. By providing healthful drinks at schools they can improve a child's health, improve children’s grades, and it would improve the school's attitude.

With tennis shoes tight on my feet, my legs begin to pound into the pavement on my road. My feet race on, one right after another, along the road. It isn’t long before something feels wrong. I can’t tell what it is. My gate seems off, and my legs seem almost more free. I keep looking at the world racing by me. Sun and blue skies warm my face, and chirping birds keep me company. A summer day couldn’t be better. Then, it strikes me. How could I have not noticed it before? The free legs! The chirping birds! It all seems so obvious now. I reach my hand down to my pocket to confirm the growing suspicion in my mind. Upon contact with the empty pocket, my suspicions are confirmed. I had forgotten my phone. How could I go for a run without one of my favorite podcasts? I suddenly

Finding soda bottles was easy enough, too. At fourteen, he had to walk everywhere he had to go, including a babysitting job he started when he turned thirteen. He worked for a young single mom that needed a conscientious, but cheaply paid person to watch her kids in the afternoon, so she could work at a consignment shop. His reputation was established by his mom because she always boasted about the things her oldest son could do, and also that he was a natural-born child nurturer. There's where a big but comes in. What little money he made from the job was confiscated by his parents and deposited into a bank account that he never did see, nor was he allowed to ask how much it had grown. It turned out that the money he made was used to buy

Cool beads of sweat rolled down the back of my neck, hot blood pumped to my face and a heavy taste of schnapps was on my breath. The piano stool creaked as I shifted my weight, each breath heaved in and out, almost strained. The Wet season was well and truly here; you could feel it in the air, a suffocatingly moist heat that left a constant sheen across clammy skin. The thick droplets of rain that kept the ground in a constant state of dampness, was cause to the sweltering humidity that lay heavy on your shoulders – overbearing and intense. Despite its nature, it was the air thick with moisture, which clung to your skin like wet cotton and the rain, which at times seemed violent and endless that nurtured the thick dense growth of Darwin.
