Analysis Of The Book ' The ' By Joey Franklin

“I’m working a part-time job at Wendy’s.” What is the first thought that comes to your head when you hear this sentence? Greasy fries, polyester uniforms, cheap food? What about the people who work there? Do you picture a first-time worker, a high school dropout, other pimple-faced workers taking your order? For some reason, in our society, we’ve associated low-quality workers with low-quality food? In his article “Working at Wendy’s” Joey Franklin paves the road towards a new perspective about those who come to work at Wendy’s. Instead of explicit points and unshakable statistics, and powerful calls to action, Franklin alternatively leads gently us through a process of revelation. Drawing from his own experiences working at his local Wendy’s Franklin gives an eye-opening view into the world behind the counter.

Franklin uses pathos as his main support for his argument. Many different stereotypes have been created for fast food workers, including employees being uneducated or criminals. In the essay, a customer came up to Franklin while he was working and asks,

While reading the essay I discovered a pattern of flashbacks. Throughout Franklin’s essay, he used flashbacks to go into detail and explain his feelings toward working at Wendy's. He gave examples of his personal experiences at Wendy’s as well as childhood experiences. For example, he told a story about when his best friend in sixth grade’s mom worked at Taco Bell and before she worked there they had money but it was drug money “...nobody thought she was a bad mom then.” He also

In his book Elijah Anderson tries to describe how life is, living in a black poor community in an American town known as Inner-city. In this area everyone is struggling financially and seem distant from the rest of America. The main social class in this town is the “decent” and the “street” families as the community has labeled them. The labeling by the local is as a result of social contest between the inhabitants. The line between a decent and street family is usually very thin, it’s based on a family evaluation of itself labeling itself decent and the other street. The irony is that families bearing a street label may value itself as decent and still valuing other families’ street. However, this labels form the basis of understanding inner-city community lifestyle. The community has many of the white society middle class values but they know the values don’t hold water in the street. They say it does not provide the attitude of a person who can take care of themselves in the street.

The book written by Joel Spring was based on the constant derogation and the oppression of the people that were not considered “white”. The constant segregation between races caused many fights for equal rights among Native Americans, African American, Asian and Hispanic people. The conflict was never easy because the United States demonstrated an ethnocentric attitude, which caused the idea of deculturalization for many of the incoming immigrant races. The book demonstrates accuracy in many of the historical struggles between education, language, culture lands, and equal rights for a voice among the people in the United States.

27 lines 188-189). This show that pretty much any one can participate to be a worker at a fast food restaurants. They believe anyone can do the job here, this shows they will do anything they need to do for success, more worker more success they believe. It mentions in this quote that restaurants are in need of worker, "easily be hired, fired and replaced" (p.30, lines 269-270). This proves that they will go easy on new worker, they easily get hired, because it is also very needed, they are trying to do anything to achieve their goal success.

Jalapeno bagels is about a boy named Pablo whom cannot decide what to take to school for International Day. He wants to bring something from his parents’ baker. He wants something that represent his heritage but he cannot decide what to bring. His mother who is Mexican baked pan dulce and change bars. His father who is Jewish baked bagels and challah. Both of the bake good were good but while helping his parents with the bakery on Sunday morning, Pablo made a decision on what to bring. He decided to bring jalapeno bagels because they are a mixture both of his parents and just like him too. The multicultural representations in the story line is Mexican and Jewish. The pictures that were drawn in the book, the family has the same color of skin even though the parents are different cultures and the main character is mixed. There were no different skin colors.

In the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, Schlosser defines and analyzes what it means to be successful in one of the world’s largest industries in the chapter of his book titled “Success”. It is clear through his argument that the author believes there is a large gap between the success of those at the top and bottom of the fast food industry. Schlosser uses a great mix of techniques to prove his point. By using irony, tying in religious references, and giving personal stories, Schlosser is able to most effectively prove that success is not equally attainable for all fast-food workers.

The All-American meal takes more out of Americans to make then at first glance. Eric Schlosser’s book Fast Food Nation delves deep into the intricate workings of the fast food industry to expose mistreatment and cruelty towards workers in the business, just as Upton Sinclair had done in the early 1900’s regarding the meat packing industry. Schlosser is able to bring light to the darkness behind the All-American meal through extensive research and personal confrontations of which he has high regards for.

In the beginning of the essay, Joey Franklin recalls when he applied for Wendy’s. He felt ashamed, almost embarrassed, that he was applying there. He would try to avoid meeting anyone’s gaze. Joey Franklin did not want anyone to know that he was going to apply there. When customers entered the restaurant, he would “pretend to read the menu” (Franklin 29). However, he seems to have realized that working at Wendy’s is not a horrible accident. In the last paragraph, we get to see Joey Franklin’s life outside of Wendy’s. It reveals that he thinks that working at Wendy’s is good enough because he is able to support his family. This shows that the people working at fast food restaurants also have a life outside of

When working at a fast food restaurant, more often than not it is accompanied with a stigma. People tend to believe that those who work in fast food restaurants are not capable of anything better. They assume people working at fast food restaurants are slow and uneducated, or they simply look down upon them because these jobs have become known as "dead-end jobs." This so-called "dead-end job" is what people might describe as low-wage labor that employees have a susceptibility to become trapped in. Fast food employee’s face many challenges, morally and socially.

Author Brent Hartinger has written an interesting novel that explores the duality of man in reference to an individual 's outward appearance compared to their inward appearance. A strong point of this novel is Middlebrow’s willingness to explore new and exciting things, such as going “The Geography Club” A.K.A (The Gay-Straight Alliance). A weak point of this novel is when Middlebrow meets random strangers online and engages in sexual activity. Teen’s who are searching for their own identity may find Middlebrow’s tale of not only discovering himself, but elevating himself extremely interesting. The plot of two teens hiding not only their true identity, but an entire Gay-Straight Alliance club from their outside world, until they are labeled outcasts, proves to be the most interesting aspect of this novel. Although there are numerous good role models within this novel, I believe that Min’s selfless actions of forming the “The Geography Club” to offer a safe haven for homosexual students establish her as the novel’s true role model. Since this novel deals with heavy drinking and extreme sexuality exploration, this novel should only be read by fifteen year olds to adults.

In Don’t Blame the Eater, David Zinczenko composes his opinion on the fast food industry’s absence of nutritional information and more. Zinczenko starts his piece by giving his own life experience. He recalls his childhood trying to find food and that fast food was “the only available options for an American kid to get an affordable meal” (Zinczenko 462). By giving his own life experience, Zinczenko relates to the reader and grabs their attention.

V:1. Chapter continues the persecution of the early church. The chapter begins, “Now about that time.” This time refers to the famine described in verse 27 of chapter 11. This Herod is Herod Agrippa 1, the grandson of Herod the Great, who had all the baby boys in Bethlehem murdered in his attempt to kill the baby Jesus. Luke says Herod laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them. Why would Herod persecute the church? The people generally do not like the Herodian family. But, Herod has to maintain peace in his territory in order to achieve favor with Rome. On the other hand, he needs to win over the hearts of the Jewish people, so, he decides to persecute the Christians to convince them of his loyalty to the
