Chew on This by Schlosser and Wilson is about the history of how the fast food restaurants have developed and grew. I mainly focused on the evolution of McDonald’s: how the exploitative corporations first started and grew into a multi-conglomerate. As I read about the progression of McDonald’s, I decided to make a timeline of how McDonald’s became a successful business and what was their strategy.

In the article "Don’t blame the eater" written by Zinczenko, he argues that fast food is the main reason why so many teenagers are suffering from obesity in United States.

In “Lee’s Eating Alone”, author Daniel Moeser argues that in the poem written by Li-Young Lee, the speaker has come to terms with his father passing away, and the end of the poem leaves the reader with a sense of fulfillment and hope. Moeser analyzes “Eating Alone” focusing on the tone, the pattern Lee creates, how the speaker talks about his father, and how the speaker has accepted the loss. The tone of the poem is overall “grief and loneliness” in stanza one and two (Moeser 118). In stanza one, the speaker is talking about how they pulled the last of the onions and how dead the ground looks (Lee 206). Stanza two continues with the grim feeling when the speaker begins remembering a time with his father out walking by the pears (Lee 206).

Jacob Sprenger was originally attributed as an author as well but some scholars now believe that was an attempt on Kramer’s part to lend his book more official credentials. Both Kramer and Sprenger were from the Dominican Monastatic Order. The goal of this manual was to eradicate heretics, including those who followed the Catholic faith but denied the existence of witchcraft or professed to be Catholic but practiced witchcraft.

As human beings, we crave certainty and stability in our lives. When that certainty is called into question, it can be deeply unsettling and challenge our very sense of reality. This is the central conflict at the heart of Rog Phillips' short story "The Yellow Pill," in which two men, Gerald Bocek and Dr. Cedric Elton, engage in a battle of perspectives over the true nature of their environment. While Bocek firmly believes they are on a spaceship, Elton is equally convinced they are in his psychiatric office on Earth. Ultimately, the evidence suggests that the story takes place on Earth, as Elton's repeated insistence on the tangible realities around him eventually breaks through Bocek's delusional worldview.
