A Discussion on the Problems With Food in the United States Essay

?Do you really want to know what is wrong with our food? If you knewjust half of what went into your food you would be disgusted. That is why I amhere, to inform you. First of all, the packaging factories are hardly suitableto be a place to package raw meat. Rats are running all over the place andflies and other dirty insects are abundant. You would assume that old rottenmeat would be disposed of, wouldn't you, but it's not. The mea is packagedanyway and sent to a store where a consumer will buy it unknowingly. You couldbe that consumer. Would you like that? And what about meat that hsa fallen onthe dirty, mildew covered floors of the factories? You would think that itwould be thrown away, right? Well, you are wrong again. The meat is justpicked back up and packaged. I don't know about you but I think something hasgot to be done to keep our food clean and edible.The other half of this story is the ridiculous cures that some peopleare receiving. I have heard of alcohlics who are trying to breaktheir habitsbeing given a bottle of medicine that contains 80 alcohol. Something theredoesn't sound right. People are being given the same treatment for epilepsy andall sorts of other disorders. How is alcohol going to help someone that hasepilepsy? The only thing these nonsense treatments are doing is making thephysical ailments that these people have worse. If you were terribly sick do doyou think alcohol would cure you? That's what I thought too. We need to putsome money into researching and developing some worthwhile cures that willactually do something.I have now informed you of two major problems that this nation faces andif something is not done to solve them then many people could end up sick oreven dead. What we need to do is evaluate our problems and then fix theminstead of ignoring them....

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

Religious Symbolism in The Blessed Damozel, a Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Essay

Dante Gabriel Rossettis poem The Blessed Damozel is full of religious symbolism. There is talk of saints, and the poem itself takes place in heaven. But underneath the religious symbolism is a deep sensuality, that makes one wonder if the white rose of Marys gift referred to in line nine is the gift of Mary the Virgin, or the somewhat less virginal Mary Magdalene. While the Damozel is in heaven, her appearance in heaven, her behaviors in life, and what happens when she and her lover are reunited suggest some less than virginal dealings, yet the damozel is blessed and resides in heaven. Rossetti was the child of liberals kicked out of Italy a heavily catholic country for their extreme political views. While Rossetti himself was not political, he may have espoused similar views regarding politics and religion as his parents. In the poem The Blessed Damozel, Rossetti was given the chance to essentially create his own heaven. Most everything he wrote seems to show that Rossetti espoused

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. However, as Chichikov continues his journey, he starts to deal with more clever landowners who become suspicious of his scheme. Chichikov finds that the townsmen know
