In that moment anger, confusion, and shock runs through ones body. That is exactly how the loving, devoting, and caring wife,
What do you think of when you hear the word home? I think of comfort, love, and of coarse the sweet smell of warm apple pie. The first thing that you notice when visiting someone’s home for the first time is the smell. If the first thing you smell when you walk into someone’s home fore the first time is a dirty wet dog, the chances are you won’t want to revisit that house. That’s why the smell of your home is so important, not only for the people who visit but also for the people who live there.
Food in Hamlet by William Shakespeare Unlike some of Shakespeare's other plays Hamlet doesn't seem to contain as many references to food. When researching food in reference to The Merry Wives of Windsor, it was easy to see much of the symbolism behind the many references.

first snowfall of the year had hit early in the morning, and the soft, powdery snow provided entertainment for hours.

stopped growing eight years ago, but really, it wasn't worth pointing this fact out. The house, too, smelled the same as it's ever smelled, I imagine, even when my father and his brothers grew up here more than forty years ago -- musty smoke and apple pie blended with the aroma of chocolate chip cookies. The former was my grandfather's contribution, whose habit took him away from us nearly five years ago; the latter, of course, comes from the delectable delights from my grandmother's kitchen.

obligation toward following direction at work. This fit nicely in to Wal-Mart's style of "red shirts, mass cheering, incessant pep rallies and veneration of a deceased founder." However, the consumers in China are not going to consume hot dogs and apple pie. They want their culture represented. Therefore, Wal-Mart adopted a global geographical divisional structure. Wal-Mart could not offer the same items in Smallville, USA as Mexico City nor Chongqing. The global geographical division allowed the Chinese
A Tip For All of Us “Tip or die” may very well be the motto of nearly all American restaurants. When we receive a lukewarm dinner accompanied with an unhelpful server, we tip, however meagerly, because we believe it’s the right thing to do.

If your server thinks you’re going to need a nudge, they’ll be sure to remind you on the check, etching

the story to illustrate how all GI's changed in their Vietnam experience. The fact that the main character is a woman drives his point even farther home.

Kiley describes her as "This cute blonde - just a kid, just barely out of high school - she shows up with a suitcase and one of those plastic cosmetic bags." (O'Brien 90) This girl is the antithesis of what one would expect to find in Vietnam. She
