Summary Of Two Cafeterias By Virginia Woolf

The source of the earlier European colonist anxiety about their diet comes from their limited understanding of genetics, diets, and overall human health of the time. In Rebecca Earle’s work “The You Eat Their Food…”: Diets and Bodies in Early Colonial Spanish America, the historian presents the ideals of the early European Settlers, mainly Spanish, on how food effected the human body and form. The work elaborates on the Spanish logic for the aliments of both the settlers and the indigenous people of the land, linking it to food. Food in the New World played a prominent role in race and health – based upon Eurocentrism.

The Breakfast Club is a movie about five students from Shermer High School who gather on a Saturday to sit through eight hours of detention. These five students; Andrew Clark, Claire Standish, John Bender, Allison Reynolds and Brian Johnson, have nothing in common. The Breakfast Club zooms in on the high school social groups and cliques that are often seen in the development of peer groups during adolescents. The peer groups that are portrayed in The Breakfast Club include, John “the criminal”, Claire “the Princess”, Allison “the Basket case”, Brian “the Brain”, and Andrew “the athlete”. The movie centers around an essay that Principle Vernon wants each student to write regarding who they think they are. In the beginning of the film, the

“Hunger” is an article published in 1989 by social justice activist Maggie Helwig. In this article Helwig discusses the stereotypes behind eating disorders, and gives real life examples of the impacts an eating disorder can have on someone. She is able to incorporate many ideas that smoothly flow together to capture the audience’s attention, while also making the audience consider their thoughts and views on eating disorders. She ends the article by giving insightful information as to what it was like for her to suffer from an eating disorder, and why she chose to starve herself for eight years. Helwig uniquely incorporates logos, pathos, and ethos in her writing to completely gain the audience’s attention and influence their opinions on eating disorders.

Throughout Topadhewin: The Gladys Cooks Story, Gladys talks about her residential school experience and how it changed her entire life. I previously knew a lot about the topic on the residential school system in Canada, and how it impacted many people. I realized that actually hearing someone telling their story on this issue makes it much more horrifying than the information found on the internet. From my understanding, this movie is to educate and acknowledge the survivors of residential schools. Many people make many negative stereotypes towards Indigenous peoples which is not always true. To understand Indigenous peoples of Canada you must understand the horrifying events that the government put them through and their reasons for doing it.

She gleefully adds in her first passage: “We are all going to heaven…in other words, how good life seemed, how sweet its rewards, how trivial this grudge or that grievance, how admirable friendship and the society of one‘s kind, as, lighting a good cigarette, one sunk among the cushions in the window-seat”. Her tone came off as if she was stunned by the environment in the men’s dining hall. The environment was so joyful and lush that she even began to think of how good her life was, merely based on the food that was given in this dining hall. It is a different story for the women’s dining hall when she murmurs: “That was all. The meal was over. Everybody scraped their chairs back; the swing-doors swung violently to and fro...”. She promptly shifted her tone from a thankful and happy person to monotone and dull, and because of this, readers can detect the attitude of hers towards the two very different meals. In the dining hall of the men's her tone gave off that the environment was almost heavenly, where everyone was joyful and they came to eat the delicious food together in a vivid environment. In the dining hall of the women's, her tone gave off that the women came together to eat because they had no choice, as if it was just another annoying task they had to do before resuming their

“When you got to the table you couldn 't go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals, though there warn 't really anything the matter with them, -- that is, nothing only everything was cooked by itself. In a barrel of odds and ends it is different; things get mixed up, and the juice kind of swaps around, and the things go better.” (Twain, 1)

Giving the situation, Castle’s Family Restaurant will benefit best from a payroll HRIS. Most of the payroll HRIS software on the market organizes and simplifies some form of payroll processing. Payroll is initiated by the employee who begins to keep track of time spend on certain activities. A report is generated through some sort of software or web application that reflect these activities, although some activities are being recorded on hand written forms that then have to be transcribed into a computer. One of the benefits of a payroll system is that it will also conduct necessary accounting and may even print out checks.

In the story In Praise of Fast Food the author is arguing how much better industrialized food is then natural food. Most believe eating natural is the way to go and processed foods is not good for the body. To our ancestors natural foods were not good. “Natural often tastes bad. Fresh meat was rank, and tough, fresh fruits incredibly sour, fresh vegetables bitter.”(Laudan 332) Our ancestors had it much harder than what we do today. Food is now more convenient leaving us more time and giving us more options then what our ancestors had.

The Breakfast Club was a movie delineating the interactions of five high school students from differing backgrounds encountering the obstacle of a Saturday detention. These five students were composed of a princess, a brain, an outcast, a jock, and most pertinent to this paper, the rebel, John Bender. John Bender is depicted within this movie as a careless and hostile character with some authority issues. An impulsive and uncooperative individual, Bender, in the detention for pulling the fire alarm, serves as a sharp juxtaposition to the other characters, often challenging the others on their perspectives. This contrast could perhaps be attributed to his home life, which is different from his four detention counterparts.

Have you ever tasted school cafeteria food? I don’t think you would want to. In school story books, do you have characters saying that the food tasted good at school cafeterias? Nope. Why is this? Cafeteria food is often cheap, bought in bulk, high in calories, malnutritious, and microwaved. Student polls and opinions prove this. Therefore, this leads to a suggestion: Healthier, tastier foods and a better, advanced lunch system should be implemented.

Opening Sweetgreen’s front door, I instantly felt out of place. At seven o’clock on a Sunday evening, the small salad shop was a place filled with almost all females. Even though I was anticipating this result, I still found it hard to believe that this restaurant was always occupied by entirely women. Upon asking an employee about whether my observation was something that occurs often, he responded, “we are Sweetgreen. Of course, we get a lot more girls than guys.”

In Virginia Woolf’s “Night and Day”, we, as the reader, can examine various feminist themes throughout the novel. Even though, “Night and Day” is one of her more conventional novels, many of the issues fly in the face of traditional values and capitalizes on the female oppression that was present in that time era. Even though, this was one of her earlier works, I believe that her conventional structure was an intentional creation, as she was trying to make a point on literary tradition and feminism. In contrast to many of her later novels, like “To The Lighthouse”, which had much anti-structure and stream of consciousness, “Night and Day”, is full of carefully written

The movie then fast forwards to a stormy night when Babette, a French refugee, came to them for help. A good friend of hers and former acquaintance of theirs, Achille Papin, recommended the sisters to Babette. Papin knew the kindness of the two and knew they would take a stranger into their home, especially a stranger in need of shelter and love. In France, Babette had been a world class chef. She loved to cook, it was her passion. When she began to work for the sisters (for free) she no longer was able to cook gourmet meals. She was only given a budget to prepare dried cod and ale-bread, the staple diet for those who lived in Jutland. Even though she could only prepare simple, cheap, and rather unpalatable dishes, she still put her heart and soul into each dish. Her love of food was apparent if you watched her cook, she took time to add spices which she picked herself or had specially ordered to the corner store to add to the normally bland dishes and made them her own. The differences in the food was apparent when Babette was unable to cook the soup for one of the elderly followers, so the sisters prepared the dish instead. The was an obvious look of disappointment on that man when he looked into the dish and realized it was not Babette who had made it. Her presence with

Thesis Statement- in Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the psychological struggle between the need for stability and the desire for freedom is perhaps the central concern of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

At the Clarissa Ballroom the guests flood in, and everyone separates into their normal cliques; the mothers and aunts sit together at a table gossiping, the grown men all gather in an open area near the door and start complaining about the latest Vikings game, the younger kids start running around the tables and blowing out candles, and all the others separate, talking about how lovely the service was. Then there are always those few individuals who walk in and do their own thing. Aunt Bessy, for example, is taking her time looking over what will be served for supper, planning out each plate with such detail that her mouth begins to water in anticipation.
