American’s everywhere have been misled to believe that fast food restaurants, such as McDonald’s, has evolved into healthier food choices. This is the wrong truth. Fast food, forever and will always be bad for you. No matter how many different ways you slice it, fast food has saturated fat, too much sugar, or too much carbohydrates in it to be deemed as healthy.

What about Subway? Aren’t they supposed to be the healthiest of fast foods? Not even this is true. Look at all the carbohydrates that are in the bread you are consuming. If you get the processed meat on your sub, you have loads of sodium that your body does not need. Not to mention if you put mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, etc. on it. Loads of sodium and carbs that no one person needs for an entire day. They don’t put enough lettuce on it for it to count, and the vegetables that people do put on their subs are such as pickles, black olives, or hot peppers, that are saturated in vinegar or some other substance to help them last longer and taste different. No, not even Subway is safe from the fast food de-healthanizer.

The diets that American’s have put upon themselves are really quite interesting. I say this because there is the skip breakfast, just drink coffee, there’s the Atkins’ diet where you eat mainly vegetables and meat, then there is the vegan and vegetarian diets where there is no meat involved what so ever. Of course you always have the random diets where they say it doesn’t matter what you eat, just how much of it you eat. This is not completely true, and we all know it. Pickled pig feet is bad for you even if you eat on serving of it. The same goes for one serving of French fries or fried anything just about. American’s don’t know what the word diet means anymore, they’re inventing their own things so that they may become malnourished, skinny people. Dieting doesn’t only mean losing weight, it also means becoming healthier, which American’s seem to have lost sight

    Like it or not, fast food is apart of our lives. On nearly every corner in a big city there is some sort of fast food chains. They surround everyone's daily life and tempt you to come eat there food. In the film "Super Size Me" fast food was brought to the national attention for increase in body weight and obesity "In addition, significant relationships have been found between the frequency of fast food restaurant visits and increases in body weight and insulin resistance, the two primary risk factors for type 2 diabetes". Now, I do believe that fast food may not be the healthiest food ever, but I do not believe that this is all of the problem with our health concerns.

    There are many healthy choices that an individual can choose from when it comes to eating out. But, most individuals cannot get away from fast food for many reasons. Fast food is inexpensive food, “poor nutrition and lack of education about the lack of nutrition in these sorts of food” (Small). Fast food chains are convenient which is why so many people make fast food their go-to but it is unhealthy and cannot benefit an individual.

    Of course there are healthier fast food franchises in the fast food industry but there’s also a major price difference. Fact: you can go to a subway and purchase a foot long value meal with the choice of any or even all veggies to go with it for about 8 dollars. Versus mcdonalds, where you can purchase eight mcdoubles for the same price! True, you can slice that foot long sandwitch into 8 pieces and share amongst each other. But you will most likely not have the satisfaction as if you had bought the dollar burgers from mcdonalds because you get almost twice as much as you would buy if you bought from subway.Americans think “cheaper is better” which sometimes i favor that saying too, but only because you get more food which means a fuller stomach. But really, do you think the cheap price is worth the high blood pressure, cholesterol, or even diabetes? Most Americans…

    In the novel, The Kite Runner, one symbol used is the kite which Hassan runs through the streets of Kabul to recover so that he and Amir win the kite running competition, this kite could represent freedom as when a kite is being flown, it is able to move freely with the wind with no obstacles, which relates to the book because Amir moves to America to relieve all the problems he had in Afghanistan and forget all of the bad things he did by creating a new beginning. The kite could also represent a juxtaposition of roles between Amir and Hassan, as by the end of the book, Amir has become The Kite Runner, not Hassan. Another symbol in the Kite Runner is the cleft lip that Hassan was born with; it is the main feature that Amir uses to describe him with. The cleft lip symbolises poverty because it shows that his parent, his father, didn’t have enough money to repair Hassan’s deformity, and the fact that the cleft lip symbolises poverty, juxtaposes Amir as Hassan is the servant to Amir. When Baba pays for Hassan’s cleft lip to be fixed, it reveals a secret love for Hassan, which foreshadows the event where the reader finds out that Hassan is Baba’s son, but only he and Hassan’s mother know this, which is the reason as to why Hassan’s mother ran away from home.…

    “The lottery” is a story that begins describing a village. The first descriptions that took my attention were “flowers were blossoming profusely” and “the grass was richly green”. After describing the village it passes to what people are doing. It says that they are getting together for an event, which is the lottery. All the heads of the family, who were men, had to drawn for their family. This had been going since before the oldest man in the village was born. We don’t really know the reason of this lottery until we get to the part where Old Man Warner starts mocking the young people around the other villages, who had stopped doing the lottery. He says “Used to be saying about ‘Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.’ This shows that that’s their tradition of getting heavier fields with corn, and their tradition was to stone one person for everyone else to be happy.…

    In every state that retains the death penalty, jurors have the option of sentencing convicted capital murderers to life in prison without the possibility of parole. However, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, there have been 1369 executions since 1976 (Death Penalty Information Center, 2014), with a total of 39 executions in year 2013 (NAACP LDF). The death penalty is a cycle of violence magnified with economic inequalities, violations to human rights, and uses cruel uncivilized instruments of death. US lawmakers need to end this horrific cycle of violence and unjust punishment. This immorality of state-sanctioned killing is wrong in many ways and should be abolished.…
