Fast food nation introduction5/24/2023 The cities these firms choose to relocate are frequently afflicted with a sharp increase in crime and a medical emergency. Many of them hire cheap, replaceable employees, such as illegal migrants, homeless people, or refugees, who are paid nothing at all. Fast food is made on a highly standardized assembly line, and meat processing has adopted that process as well. You show them a bunch of toys and characters, as well as a savory burger, and they’ll be sold. Children are targeted in the marketing of fast food companies because they appear to be interested in them. The fast food industry has caused a global decline in food quality, caused poor working conditions for millions of people, and has ruined public health. Schlosser has been accused of exaggerating the problems associated with fast food, and some have suggested that his book is unfair to an industry that provides millions of Americans with affordable, convenient meals. The book has also been criticized for its negative portrayal of the fast food industry. Fast food restaurants are now ubiquitous, and their impact on the American diet has been significant. The book has been praised for its insights into the way the fast food industry has changed the American landscape, both physically and socially. The author, Eric Schlosser, is an investigative journalist who examines the rise of the fast food industry in America. The book Fast Food Nation was published in 2001 by Houghton Mifflin.

Anna and the french kiss book 25/24/2023 It puts down the other female characters and borderline slut shames for the sake of bettering the protagonist when she, herself, is extremely hypocritical. It essentially sends the message that emotionally cheating (but cheating nonetheless) is acceptable. The main reason I didn’t like this book is that I found it to be very problematic. The rest of the book follows Anna in her journey to find love in the City of Love. Clair who is seemingly perfect in all regards except that he has a serious girlfriend. While this may be a dream come true for some, this is a total nightmare to Anna because she is forced to leave behind her best friend, the boy she fancies, and the comfort of the United States. Spoiler-free Summary: Anna Oliphant is spending her senior year at the School of America in Paris. I had to will myself to finish even though I was putting it down every five minutes because I just couldn’t stand everything that was happening. I went into this book with high expectations because it’s rated so highly on Goodreads and in the book blogging community, but I was so FRUSTRATED with it. What did I not like about this book? Literally everything else. What did I like about this book? The cover. Everything has a purpose – your talents, your taste, your situations. Seeing that you make this world a better place is the most invaluable thing in life. “Believe that you can do something for the world. “I conclude that life, after all, means coping with the uncertainties.”ġCM Origin Jungkook by Kim Eun-ju (Jungkook) I Decided to Live as Me by Kim Su-hyun (Jungkook) Nature shows humans the scenery of a heaven that can never get more beautiful. We see the natural falling leaves as beautiful, but why do we see aging as ugly? When it’s autumn, the whole world is under a magic spell. “Each of us humans eventually experience being like autumn leaves. There are No Bad People In The World by Won Jae-hoon (J-Hope) “Like how a snail carries a house on its back to defend itself, each one of us needs a warm person and space to embrace us all the time.” Yearning for Home While I’m at Home by Kwon Ra-bin (V) So pervasive are human impacts on the planet that it's said we live in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. That man should have dominion "over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth" is a prophecy that has hardened into fact.

Wings of ebony book5/24/2023 She says she especially wanted to reach her two teenage sisters, who struggle to see themselves in books - something to which Elle can relate. In Wings of Ebony, Elle pays homage to the community that raised her and to the tenacious, indomitable spirit of Black girls everywhere. With the Ghizonis at her heels, Tasha’s life in danger, and external magic not being what she thought it would be, Rue must depend on the power within her and her community to survive. Determined to get back to Tasha, Rue and her new friend Bri figure out a way to bring magic to the human realm, but not without consequences. In Ghizon, she discovers she’s part human, part magical being, but she was forced to leave her younger sister, Tasha, behind in her old neighborhood. She’d never even heard of this magical, imaginary place hundreds of miles off the coast of Madagascar until her mother was killed and the father she’d never met took her there to live with him. For protagonist Rue, there might be a bullet waiting for her, since she’s upset the Chancellor of Ghizon. Elle heard her grandmother say these words so often when she was growing up in Houston that they became the beginning of her debut novel, Wings of Ebony.
