An Introduction to El Pollo Inka Essay

I went to El Pollo Inka, on January 14, 2003, in Gardena. When I arrived outside of the Peruvian restaurant, I saw a big fire spit roasting some chickens in the window. Aztec Indian model statues where also displayed behind the window. Walking into the restaurant, I heard the pleasant sound of Hispanic music playing and saw the many Peruvian instrumental ornaments and pictures of Aztec or Indian buildings on the walls. The restaurant was slightly lighted but overall pretty dark. There is a dance hall in the restaurant with a glittering disco ball, where customers can learn salsa on Friday and Saturdays. Neon pictures, with cool radioactive-like colors, of Indians decorated the walls around. I arrived at my table and a kind waiter brought me pan, a type of Hispanic bread, and a green and salty avocado sauce. I was very hungry and in the mood for seafood so I decided to order a small sopa and the Saltado de Mariscos. The soup came first and it was green! I dont know if I was going to like it but when I had my first taste, I slurped the whole thing! It actually tasted like chicken rice soup and was very good. Then came the big plate of sauted fresh fish, shrimp, squid, scallops, onions, tomatoes, rice, and French fries. At first I thought I could easily finish this plate but after 15 minutes I found out it wasnt that easy. The tomatoes and French fries filled my stomach quickly. I enjoyed this dish very much because it was fun and tasty to try the different types of seafood swimming on my plate. The squid shocked me the most because I have never tried squid much. The interesting chewy texture was savory and delicious in my mouth. Overall, my experience at El Pollo Inka was fun and educational. The only thing I didnt like about my dish was the French fries were slightly greasy...

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions. Dorian Gray takes influence from Lord Henry, Basil Hallward, and the culture of society during which the novel was written. Lord Henry is the epitome of a wealthy, hedonistic gentleman seeking only pleasure, with little regard to cost or consequence. Lord Henry Wotton outwardly propounds hedonism, but it is his extreme egotism that drives him to manipulate both Basil Hallward a

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead. Each person that Chichkov presents this offer to has a different reaction, starting with the shy and introverted Manilov. Though he does not understand Chichikov's need for the names of these dead serfs, Manilov is a character that is so desperate for company that it does not take any effort to trick him into selling his dead souls cheaply.
