The Steaks: A Short Story

The nature of discovery is highly impactful when one is confronted with multiple worlds; enabling a physical and spiritual connection to places, ideals and society, transforming one’s perception over-time.

Chapter two, The Dinner, is centralized around two main issues: the nation’s debt and where to locate its new capitol. While the issues were concerns of essentially every individual with political say, the three main problem-solvers presented in this chapter are James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson.

In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith argues that people only agree to exchanges that are mutually beneficial. Free exchanges are necessary for a society to promote liberty. However, many industries force exchanges upon consumers. Forced exchanges will remain to be a problem in our ever-growing society as personal greed continues to grow.

More specifically I will discuss slaughterhouse workers, restaurant workers and the beef industry. The food industry exploits workers and continues to get away with it. The agriculture industry is the biggest single polluter in the world and people have no idea. It is safe to say, one of the worst culprit of forced exchanges is the American food industry.

Literary critics have different opinions on the poem. One literary critic by the name of Greg Crossan takes a completely different view on the poem. While many believe the poem is of religious background with pure innocent intentions, Crossan believes the poem has a sexual meaning behind it. Crossan suggests that words like “Quick-eyd”, and “Sweetly questioning” are hints of a different type of intimate relationship.

Maudie maintained her composure, and assisted in upholding mine. I wondered how she had done it, but nevertheless I was grateful.

Jack London's "A Piece of Steak," is a story about Tom King, an old and weakened boxer, in his last fight against Sandel, a young boxer in his prime.

This loss to Sandel and his recollections of his youth causes him to repeatedly mention the main theme of the story: youth vs. age. In writing Tom's story, London, shows the perspective of how life adapts. In London's short story "A Piece of Steak" he uses the motif of youth vs. age to show the evolutionary perspective of adapting life.

It was any other typical summer day for me in the ole’ Fritz household. I was getting bored doing things with Hallie, the dog, or by myself. I thought of a brilliant idea, “I’ll invite Kennedy over, it’s been forever since I’ve seen her.” (It really hadn’t been very long since the last time I saw her, we just like to hang out.)
