Pizza can be traced back to Naples, Italy in the middle ages. Although the origin of the word pizza is not clear, the Italians are credited with coining the term pizza. It is though that the word could have come from the Italian word point, pizziare, meaning to pinch or pluck, or a verb meaning to sting or to season. Who would have thought that pizza will soon be the favorite dish of many? I love pizza so much that I don’t think I can live without it.
My buddies and I often hang out at places where they serve this cheesy delicious food.

The hot melted cheese smell mixed with the odor of tomato is the strongest aroma produced. The fragrance of pizza in the air brings back good memories. Every time I bite into a pizza, it would bring back memories of delicious foods I tasted in the past and it made me wonder how it was made and where the ingredients come from. Perfection for this food requires skills and fresh ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, did you know that tomato sauce was not part of pizza’s ingredient until the sixteenth century? Early toppings included cheeses, dates, herb, olive oil, and honey.
Thanks to Cortez who discovered tomatoes in South America in 1519 and brought seeds back to Europe, tomato was eventually accepted as an ingredient for pizza. However, at first people were reluctant to use tomato. Instead they were planted as ornamental curiosities, but not eaten. In southern Europe, tomato was quickly accepted into the kitchen. The northern Europeans didn’t like it very much. The British admired its beauty, but believe that it was poisonous because it resembles wolf peach which w...

“I'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't.” F. Scott Fitzgerald said this and it is very apparent that he feels this way in The Great Gatsby. In this novel filled with the experiences of a group of supercilious, rich, white people, Fitzgerald shows this with the many symbols he uses throughout the novel. Among the most arresting are the Green Light at the end of the Buchanan’s dock, which Gatsby envies for, the color white, which deceives readers with Daisy’s deceitful beauty, and the Eyes of T.J. Eckleburg, which sees all wrong done by the characters.

Has it ever crossed your mind what exactly is that makes people relate to each other? Whether its simple things like food and music or more complex things like language and religion, the feeling of being part of something gives us a sense of satisfaction, and common ground.

Scott Hightower’s poem “Father” could be very confusing to interpret. Throughout almost the entirety of the poem the speaker tries to define who his father is by comparing him to various things. As the poem begins the reader is provided with the information that the father “was” all of these things this things that he is being compared to. The constant use of the word “was” gets the reader to think ‘how come the speaker’s father is no longer comparable to these things?’ After the speaker reveals that his father is no longer around, he describes how his father impacted him. Details about the father as well as descriptions of the impacts the father has distraught on the speaker are all presented in metaphors. The repetitive pattern concerning the speaker’s father and the constant use of metaphors gives the reader a sense that the speaker possesses an obsessive trait. As the reader tries to interpret the seemingly endless amount of metaphors, sets of connotative image banks begin to develop in the reader’s mind. Major concepts that are expressed throughout the poem are ideas about what the speaker’s father was like, what he meant to the speaker, and how he influenced the speaker.

The delicious smells of fresh Italian foods waft through the air as we look over our menus,
First of all, Italian food is absolutely amazing. Food is a large part of the Italian culture, and something that everyone recognizes the Italians for. (logos) Italians make a plethora of delicious foods, such as pizzas, breads, pastries, pastas, gelato, wines, coffees, meats, and cheeses. The list...
Italian food began about 13,000 years ago and became recognized when “the Etruscans, Greeks, and Romans moved into the Italian peninsula around 1,000 BCE” (Italian Food History). By about 400 BCE the Romans had taken control of this diverse area. During this period, Italian cuisine consisted of barley or wheat that would be cooked into a type of porridge and enriched with wild greens, root vegetables, fruit or, for a really big celebration, honey. The boarders of the Roman Empire provided spices like cumin, sesame, coriander, oregano, olive oil and saffron to those who could afford it. “After conquering Macedonia around 200 BCE, the returning standard bearers brought commercial baking to the city of Romulus and Remus enriching the history of Italian food and making bread the staple of the Roman welfare system called the Annona” (Italian Food History). Even with such diversity, the people of Italy were quite poor and had to rely on locally available foods to create their recipes. This is why many Italian dishes, including today, are based on simple ingredients like cheese, eggplant, olives, and olive oil....
