Coffee Beans Right when you walk through the door it hits you. The smell is so strong it makes you realize how tired you really are. The walls are mocha colored and lined with coffee cups from places our customers have been, the tile is checkered black and white, and beneath the front bar is a mural of a coffee shop. There are regular tables and tall tables, and even a green love seat with an elephant blanket draped over the back. You get the feeling of comfort, other than the feeling of intimidation of not knowing much about coffee, when you first walk in. At least that’s how I was when I first walked in. The hum of the frozen yogurt machine sparks an interest of what kind of flavors are up

Brandon is from Colorado and he comes down to Greenwood for the summer and sells fireworks. He comes in the shop almost every night and orders either green tea and honey, or a house coffee with whip cream and caramel sauce on top. We also have a few people that visit Greenwood once a year for certain events and always are ready to have their favorite drink from Java House. There is a lady that has to have her oxygen tank and her husband that is sometimes in a wheel chair that come every week on Friday or Saturday. They order loaded baked potato soup, strawberry spinach salad, half a sandwich, usually a TBA (turkey, bacon, avocado), and two large peach smoothies. I have their soups warming up before they even walk through the door. One of my favorite customers is John Miller. He is a retired bomb squad technician and has a distinct ascent. He likes to talk, make jokes, and is never in a bad mood. He just comes in Java House mostly to sit, drink coffee, and talk with us. Another lady has been getting a large potato soup and taking it to her friend that can’t get around on her own. She pays $5.50 every day because her friend doesn’t eat much and she loves our potato

    On August 8, 2013, a field of rice, called “Golden Rice”, was completely devastated by a group of angry Filipino protestors. However, this was no ordinary rice. It was genetically modified rice that was designed to alleviate some major problems in the world. One farmer passionately said, “we do not want our people, especially our children, to be used in these experiments.” However, there were several people outraged by this act of vandalism. One of those people, Amy Harmon, decided to bury the notion that Golden Rice is detrimental to human health. She attempted this difficult task in her article, “Golden Rice: Lifesaver?” I will be analyzing how she conveys her message to the readers of the article in this rhetorical analysis essay. I argue…

    David Zinczenko is the editor-in-chief of Men’s Health magazine and the author of numerous best-selling books. Zinczenko is a man known for his work; his work and credibility shines bright because he has contributed op-ed essays to the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. He has also appeared on Oprah, Ellen, 20/20, and Good Morning America. The fact that he is so accomplished in the area of eating healthy shows just how credible he is when it comes to discussing fast food vs. the eater. Zinczenko believes that the fast food industry is partly at fault for the growing rate of obesity. Although Zinczenko’s background and accomplishments gives us the evidence we need to know in order to trust his judgments, his emotional way of getting his points across make a difference as well. In the beginning of the essay, Zinczenko tells us about himself and how he grew up with troubled parents who weren’t together, and with very little options of what to eat for lunch and dinner every day. He explains that his options were mainly fast food, which caused him to be an overweight teenager. In other words, he uses his story of himself as a teenager growing up with family problems to draw people in and get them to sympathize with the overweight teenagers and get them to see that it is not all their fault and that it is, in fact, partly the fast food industry’s fault. One of his final arguments is that without warning labels on fast food industry products, we will see more sick, obese children and more angry parents.…

    In Dinesh D' Souza’s essay, "Two Cheers for Colonialism,” he attempts to convince the audience about several concerns regarding colonialism and Western civilization. He employs various methods to make the audience see his point of view. He uses a lot of emotional appeals, humor, ethos, logos, and anecdotes to argue that the West did not become influential through colonial oppression. He says, "By suggesting that the West became dominant because it is oppressive, they provide an explanation for Western global dominance without encouraging white racial arrogance. They relieve the Third World of blame for its wretchedness,"(1) and "The West did not become rich and powerful through colonial oppression. It makes no sense to claim that the West grew rich and strong by conquering other countries and taking their stuff"(2). He uses rhetorical strategies such as evidence-based arguments like the one above, to make a strong logical appeal to the audience.…

    In the essay, “What You Eat is Your Business”, Radley Balko writes to tell his audience about how the government is trying to control people’s health and eating habits by restricting food, taxing high calorie food, and considering menu labeling. Balko includes in his essay that government restricting diets and having socialist insurance is not helping the obesity problem, but it is only making it worse because it not allowing people to take their health in to their own hands so they have no drive to lose weight or eat healthy.

    Do you struggle to find equilibrium between excelling at work and spending productive, quality time with loved ones at home? With the technology that is available in the twenty first century, it is now possible for educated professionals to decide whether they would like to work from home and collaborate with family members to meet work demands. Alesia Montgomery is an African American Ethnographer who wrote “Kitchen Conferences and Garage Cubicles: The Merger of Home and Work in the 24-7 Global Economy”. This study was one of many published in 2008’s book entitled The Changing Landscape of Work and Family in the American Middle Class: Reports From the Field, which focused on “providing insights into the changing nature of working families in the United States” (1008). Montgomery’s main argument is that today’s modern society and global economy have enabled families to “merge work and home in quasi-entrepreneurial ways” (1018), which will in turn deepen the attachment between family members. Her secondary claim is that the merging of these two worlds does not come without a downside; your home will no longer “serve as a refuge from job pressures” (1018) and job demands may be “made more invasive by the use of innovative communication technology” (1019). The main purpose of this essay is to identify and analyze Montgomery’s main and secondary arguments, to describe two types of support she uses, how they help her claims, and to identify her intended audience.…

    Texting and driving is one of the most debated topics in society. Whether it affects all people or whether or not you’re just good at multi tasking. Yet, all people would come to the agreement that it is one the most dangerous activities to participate in and ends millions of lives yearly. "Drivers and Legislators Dismiss Cellphone Risks” published in New York Times by Matt Richtel and "LOL? Texting While Driving Is No Laughing Matter: Proposing a Coordinated Response to Curb this Dangerous Activity" by Alexis M. Farris are two articles that present variations of ethos, pathos, and logos and make identical arguments claiming that texting and driving is not only dangerous but is shaping the way Americans live. Both articles illustrate several accounts on the dangers of texting and driving and how the activity could potentially be stopped proving both articles to be well accounted for. While Matt Richtel and Alexis. M. Farris both reach the conclusion that texting while driving has a negative impact on people, Farris' article is far deeper and less biased then Richtel's who relies more on personal inference rather than factual evidence.…

In this essay Gross mainly discussed about the meaning of the word “Bitch” changed across time. She analyzed the word in different perceptive, its offensive meaning, its contemptuous meaning and its literal meaning. As the meaning of the word “Bitch” is changing over time, it actually represents the women’s roles in the society is changing as well.
