In Edith Wharton’s powerful work Ethan Frome, she introduces two leading female characters and instantly creates a comparison of the two within the reader’s eyes. This, not coincidentally, is the same comparison the protagonist Ethan constantly faces and struggles with throughout the novel. On one hand, Zenobia, commonly called Zeena, Frome has been a long-standing part of Ethan’s life. Years of marriage, although not always happy, combined with her always declining health, cause Ethan to feel indebted and sympathetic towards her. While, on the other, Mattie Silver, a relative of Zeena walks into the life of the Frome’s, and with her brings a new feeling of life and vitality to which Ethan has never experienced before. Her appearance in his life sparks feeling of passion, which in turn leads to an awkward tension created in the household where Ethan, Zeena, and Mattie all reside. The foiling actions and characteristics of these two women underlie the main struggle within Ethan throughout the novel.
Rodger and Hammerstein’s The King and I has dazzled audiences for more than fifty years. With elaborate sets and engaging characters, the source of success appears to be evident. However, hidden within Hammerstein’s romantic script lies the true foundation; an eternal historical pattern. The King and I uses vibrant color to mask the chronicle of government intervention and westernization in not only Siam but in many countries. Anna Leonownes, King Mongkut, and Prince Chualongkorn represent a caustic pattern of government intervention throughout history.

Any person with a sensible ethos knows that with great power comes great responsibility. Similarly, the same must be said about a person’s freedom to choose what they eat. Overarchingly, that great power to choose one’s own food comes with health and bodily responsibilities. In his documentary, “Supersize Me,” director Morgan Spurlock uses his narrative of a month long, specialized diet in order to illustrate this point. To be specific, Spurlock is discussing the trending fast food diet in this nation, and the perilous effects it is having on the health of everyone in the nation. Predominantly speaking, Spurlock highlights that obesity, hypertension, and other health concerns are becoming common occurrences thanks to corporate marketing to

Eating the pizza instead of the salad seemed like a good idea at the time, but now one is stuck in this sloth like state hours later. It seems letting cravings control what and how to eat is not the best strategy to healthy living. Mary Maxfield, in her article “Food For Thought: Resisting the Moralization of Food” discusses her views on how people should eat. She believes people crave what their bodies need, therefore, people should eat what they crave. Maxfield claims that diet, health, and weight are not correlated with each other, and because of this, people view obesity as unhealthy, thus forcing them to distinguish “right, healthy” foods from the “wrong, unhealthy” choices.
The diet that I am currently on is not as nutritious as it should be. By looking at the Dietary Recommended Intakes for my age and comparing it to my current dietary habits, I hav...
I have learned a lot from this two-day diet analysis assignment. In my two day assessment, I recorded my food intake, quantities, drinks, snacks, condiments, where and who I was with during the meal, the time of day, and the amount of time I spent eating. I was able to analyze my diet to examine what I was eating and what types of nutrients I was getting. I then compared all aspects with my recommended levels of nutrients for my dietary recommended intake. I learned that my eating habits are not the best and could lead to serious health problems in the future that may be detrimental.
Seasonal fruits and vegetables are available all year because the supermarket has food imported from all parts of the world. I have stocked my pantry with quick meals like instant oatmeal, instant noodles, and canned soups. As I grown up my eating habits have changed too; the lifestyle busy university student doesn’t include healthy home cooked meals often, fast food and coffee are consumed frequently. I constantly eat at restaurants to spend time with friends; finding places to eat and trying out different foods is an activity my social circle enjoy. Nutrition is not a considerable factor in my daily eating habits, although I try my best to be healthy, connivence plays a bigger role at this point in my life. Although university is my roadblock to healthy eating, I have chosen to attend a post-secondary institution as individuals with a higher level of education have been shown to earn more money and live longer. The current unhealthy lifestyle is a small sacrifice for long term benefits, such as a low stress job and a high wage to be able to afford nutritious

When I walk into Tower Dining, I always glance toward the salad bar and the vegetarian options in the kitchen, but most of the time I pass them up to pile garbage on my plate. I want to eat nutritious food, and every once in awhile I’ll eat a meal centered around nutrition and feel really good about myself, but then that night I’ll retire to my room and eat five cookies and an entire bag of cheesy popcorn. This assignment helped open my eyes to what I was actually eating (and what I wanted to eat when I knew I was being watched), and it did make me want to eat better, at least on the days when I had an assignment. Ultimately, I’ve had enough education to know that eating nutritious food and living a more active lifestyle will give me a longer, healthier life, and I want that because there’s a lot I have to do on this Earth, and I can’t do it all in sixty years. I’m going to need around ninety healthy years, and that’s low balling it. There’s no way I’m going to reach that goal if I continue to eat as I do on a daily basis. The habits I set for myself now will follow me into my adult life, good or bad. I need to make sure that they’re good ones, ones that will create a strong base upon which I can build the rest of my life. Thanks to this assignment, I had to look my priorities dead in the eye and evaluate them. Is the taste of a chicken strip basket really worth all the fat and sodium I’m putting into my body when I
It is a Saturday night and it is time for a late night snack. Is the first thing on your mind ice cream? Who does not like Ice cream? The best late night snack ever, think about it tastes delicious. First of all, ice cream tastes better than any other sweet treat. What food could compete with this creamy smoothness, or the delicious feeling of this soft, cold treat as it meets your taste buds? Don’t know of any other food that feels as good. With Talenti they have so many mouth-watering flavors 33 to be exact. In today’s world you can even get ice cream that’s protein, as the soy ice creams have. So Ice cream is really good. Secondly, while it might not yet be a complete ideal healthy snack, it can be served after every suppertime for everyone likes it. It can be a common thread between strangers. Ice cream can be a healthy treat because it is delicious, it comes in many flavors, and it can be eaten in ways; but, eating too much ice cream can make you fat.
Previously to taking this class, I had never given much thought to my eating habits. I always thought of the way I chose to eat as one of those things I didn’t need to concern myself with too heavily now because I’m a young broke college student. The way I eat is pretty similar to the way most of my friends eat and when you live away from home, that seems like the norm for people in college. However, after applying what I’ve learned in this class to my life, I’ve realized that the dietary choices I make now affect not only my current health, but my future health as well. So overall, I would say that my eating habits are pretty bad, but I’m working on making them better.
The house phone started to ring. “We have a house phone?” I questioned myself rubbing my eyes giving off a weary sigh. When did I fall asleep? I headed downstairs and it stopped. Again it rang and I guessed it was on the bottom shelf hence lack of usage. Pulling off the dusty cloth I grasped the telephone and answered.
While I was tracking my eating for these three days, I began to learn about the benefits of the food that I am eating and the nourishment that they provide for my body. I had never realized how big of a role that the food that I eat plays in my everyday life. Eating has never been something that I really think about it is just something that I do. After I looking at the data of what I eat on Choose My Plate, I realized that my eating habits are far from balanced and that I needed to work on bringing my eating habits to a better balance. While there are a lot of things that I have been doing right, there are also many things that I can work on.
