School districts that serve students food that are high in calories and fat are to blame for the growing numbers of obese children. Although school lunches provide students food at minimal costs, the poor quality of food served delivers inadequate nutrition and is responsible for the rising numbers of obese minors in the United States. In order to combat this growing problem, school districts must limit
For some, the thought of their next meal is unquestionable, but for others, it is a matter of "if" or "when". The lack of adequate and nutritious food is the reality for many.

In “Two Years Are Better than Four”, Liz Addison argues against Rick Perlstein’s article “What’s the Matter With College?”. While Perlstein questions the value of college as it currently is, Addison argues that the “community college system is America’s hidden public service gem”(Addison 257). By way of that, she defends the value of college. Unsurprisingly, as with most situations, the truth is somewhere in between ends of a spectrum created by these two articles. While I agree with Addison’s idea

While completing my comparison shop form, I found it quite helpful to see how the prices vary with the same item but different brands. Normally when I go grocery shopping I always choose the cheapest price to save money. As I was growing up I was always around people who needed name brand items and I thought I needed to be like them too until I started actually looking and comparing. Shopping comparison can really help a person save money if they are on a budget. It really makes you think about how
Interpretations of William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" has been interpreted in many different ways. Most of these rely solely on hints found within the story. I believe that his life can also help one analyze this story. By knowing that Faulkner's strongest influence was his independent mother, one can guess that Miss Emily Grierson's character was based partly on Maud Falkner. William Cuthbert Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September

Fish and Game Warden The Story of My Search There is no feeling like walking out into the woods on a windy chilly afternoon, and climbing into my favorite deer stand waiting on the perfect buck to come out. As he walks out and I put the cold rifle to your face, breathe in, pull the trigger, and watch him fall. I want future hunters to know that feeling and not worry about poachers messing with the game that the little young hunter is hunting. I want to protect the game and their natural habitats
matching the scenery to the characters emotions. The principal setting of the novel is Starkfield, which is a small farming based community. The houses are mostly several miles from the "center" of town. Richard Worth, a literary critic, says of Starkville, "...even the name suggests utter desolation" (64). The name of the town gives the initial impression of the mindset of the characters: hopelessness. "The New England winter... the physical landscape can reinforce psychic tensions oppressing the
The word “disability” is an efficacious one, as far as words go. It manages to convey both a technical definition (“lack of adequate potency, vigor, or physical or mental capacity; incapacity”) as well as a general sense of the lack of glamour or romanticism found in the world of disabilities (Wai Au and Man David, 2006). Maybe it is because we as a society are preoccupied with both body image, expeditious fine-tunes, and disabilities are an affront to both (Wai Au and Man David, 2006). People with

As a first year student, college is an excellent opportunity to discover one’s own sense of identity and interact with a diverse range of people. Unfortunately, everyone will experience moments of confusion, loneliness, or even disengagement during their college years, which may cause a lack of interest for campus involvement.
