During this time, racial tensions were in abundance throughout the United States.

Brownies by ZZ Packer is a short story that takes place at a summer camp called Camp Crescendo in Atlanta, Georgia. The story follows two racially segregated troops of Brownie Girl Scouts, one troop consisting of all black girls and the other all white girls. Conflicts arise when the troop of white girls were accused of calling a black brownie a racial slur. The black troop confronted the white troop, Troop 909, with the accusation that one girl in Troop 909 called a girl in the black troop a racial slur in the camp bathroom. During this confrontation, their first face-to-face confrontation with the white girls, the black troop made the revelation that Troop 909 had special needs. A Troop Leader then shared that some of the girls in Troop

In “Brownies,” Z.Z. Packer illustrates the narrator, Laurel, struggling for individuality in an ethnically differentiated culture. To begin with, the author deliberately models her characters as unrighteous using wry contrast and divergence, to show her prejudicial attitude toward ethnicity. In the present aspect of the story, not one character feels righteous enough to stand against prejudice. Packer does this to emphasize the central character’s ambiguity in which the events of the story is happening.

Perhaps if Jerry had a more forthcoming and open relationship with his father, the ending of the story could have changed.

Based on the ratio analysis performed, it appears that the Hershey Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet cash needs and current obligations. The current ratio and current debt coverage ratios were decreasing from 2002 through 2004, which corresponds to an increase in short-term debt and a decrease in cash on the Company’s balance sheet over the same periods. Hershey attributes the increase in debt to corporate consolidations, capacity expansion, and modernization and efficiency improvements. Outside of the increase in debt, accounts receivable turnover and average days’ collections appear to be steady, which indicates that Hershey is able to

Like Malcolm X once said, “You can't hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree.” In the story,brownies By ZZ Packer, there’s a lot of racial differences among the two troop(troop 909 and troop brownie).Arnetta is girl leader of the African American girls Brownie troop. She is the only girl who suspects the White girls of the "racial slur." With some prodding of a "nudge" and being a bully, enlists the reluctant and quiet, Daphne in the plan. Arnetta, a good student, commands much attention.Daphne is the very quiet unassuming girl of the African American Brownie troop. She is the girl that "might" have heard the racial slur from the White troop. Daphne is characterized as somewhat out of fashion, wearing old clean Chic jumpers and dresses, although a

After reading Chocolat by Joanne Harris, I realized how often we let our inhibitions control us. The novel frequently talks of giving into desires and impulses and the void that can be caused by continuous ascetical behavior: “To be closed from everything, and yet to feel, to think…This is the truth of hell, stripped of its gaudy medievalisms. This loss of contact” (Harris 16). Constantly being close to temptations and never giving in can be maddening. It can be torturous. It is most definitely not healthy. Père Reynaud, the town priest, displayed the dangers of sustained impediment: violent disintegration into uncontrolled desire. One consequence of his ever-present discipline and restraint was conveyed by his actions when he attempted to destroy Vianne Rocher’s chocolate festival; after abstaining from chocolate since he was a child, he decided to try just one. One turned into many, quickly transforming from a sample into an unhealthy binge. His actions led to feelings of shame and regret, emphasizing the dangers of overly controlled desires. This recurrence of tensions between control and freedom reminds me of Footloose. Like Chocolat, Footloose is about abandoning inhibitions and being true to oneself, with a religious leader as the antagonist and a newcomer with different ideals as the

As of October 2012, Andrea Torres, director of new product development at Montreaux Chocolate USA, needs to recommend whether or not the company should pursue a new product launch in the United States. The new product, a 70% cocoa dark chocolate with fruit product, has been tested because of “its heightened revenue potential, better alignment with health and wellness initiatives, and strong consumer acceptance of the proposition” (Quelch 7). This memo will address the

“Beep! Beep! Beep! Beeeeeeep!” my alarm clock was piercing my eardrums. I got up slowly, my alarm clock still going off. It seemed as if the loudness was just getting louder and louder. Finally, I stumbled out of bed, turning my alarm off. After I got dressed, I went downstairs to pack my mother’s amazing cookies for school. Her secret is adding the right measure of mixing because mixing develops gluten in the sugar, making the cookies a chewy consistency, adding the right measure of shape because round dough balls take longer to bake, resulting in softer, thicker cookies, besides adding the correct amount of spacing because cookies baked at low temperatures spread more during baking and need approximately 2 inches between them. It also depends on the temperature, and the quantity of time you bake them for because a low temperature and longer baking time yield crisper, thinner cookies; a higher heat and shorter baking time makes softer, thicker cookies. My mom taught me these rules of cooking when I was around five. What can I say, I guess I just have a way of cooking.

“The Dark Side of Chocolate” is a documentary that explores the underlying issues prevalent in the cocoa trade. For most first world countries chocolate is seen as an accessible treat, however in third world countries, the production of cocoa creates social issues that must be eliminated. Cocoa trade is one of the largest industries in West African countries, but the issues that arise from such trade do more harm than good. The cocoa plantations are trafficking humans to work on their plantations. Furthermore, most instances suggest that these workers do not receive any compensation for their work and most importantly some of these slave laborers are children. Thus, the three issues that the cocoa companies routinely commit in exchange for lower costs are human trafficking, slave labor, and child labor. These companies are aware of such issues but refuse to actively combat them because they are better off financially. It can be argued that these issues can be mitigated through various social, governmental and political policies aimed at combating these problems. The three main issues will be addressed and the various stakeholders affected by these issues will be analyzed. Then this paper will look at the possible solutions to these issues, whereby through government, social or political means.
