The holiday season is one of the best times of the year for me. It is a time when all the family comes together and shares in the festive spirit of the season. The one thing I enjoy the most, is waking up to the aroma of the different foods my mother is preparing. Although I have been awaken by the smell of food many times before, this time the distinctive savory smell indicates to me that the holiday is here.

From what we have seen from the odyssey, Greek dinner parties were formal affairs with ritual events. The best foods and entertainment were presented to the guests to show off their wealth. We have not seen one of these actions in Trimalchio’s dinner. His foods were as bad as his entertainment. For example, as the guest applauded to Trimalchio’s verse a bizarre dish was served.

The warming rays of the sun slowly peeked through the window and into my room. As every morning begins, I am awakened by these beams of light shining in my face. As I sat up, I looked out my bedroom window. Through the thick brush of trees, I see what little sun I can as it casts its sunbeams in every direction. It illuminated the ground and the woods; the colors of which were slightly off, almost like looking at them through a stained window pane. I watched the sun climb higher into the sky. But

Though it breaks some of the restrictions that come with being Kosher, she does not expect every restaurant to follow the guidelines. This too is true with her college experience
When I was still in elementary school, still at the awkward age of 11 years, my best friend loved witchcraft. Which meant by default I also liked witchcraft. Everyday we would hop into her mother’s van and arrive at her home. From there we would lock ourselves away from the world and immerse ourselves in learning what it took to be a witch. My best friend’s mother was a paranormal investigator, meaning she hunted ghosts! She was eager to inform and quite supportive in my best friend’s (and mine’s)
sort of working class marriage. Mr. Bobble whispers sweet nothings to Mrs. Corney, yet for the greater part of his sentimental demands, his proposal is truly roused by Mrs. Corney's material riches. When she leaves the room, he confirms that her dishware is produced out of silver and that her attire is of "great design and composition."

Humankind produces and consumes with little regard for waste. Susan Strasser’s Waste and Want: A Social History of Trash focuses on consumption’s byproduct; trash and what humankind has done to dispose of their waste over the past decades. Strasser catalogues an often deemed unsophisticated part of our modern society as being “central to our lives yet generally silenced or ignore” (p.36), throughout her book elucidating on the premise that one’s own view and opinion of what is deemed as trash varies
