Fast food Nation
Derek Amoroso
In Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser is about the history of fast food. Fast food started in the 1950's in southern California. It started with hot dog stands on the side of the road. Then it moved to drive in restaurants because people were too lazy to get out of there cars. With the drive in restaurants waitresses called car hops would come out to take orders and bring out the food. All those were independent restaurants owned by a family or one person. Soon after chains like McDonalds started opening up and taking over the other restaurants. Ray Croc took McDonalds and spread it worldwide. Since then countless other fast food chains have started up and also spread throughout the United States and the world. This book tells the bad side of fast food and I will think twice next time I feel like McDonalds.
This book tells the history of fast food and how it has changed for the worst. It tells how the food is made, cooked, and served. I would have never known all these bad things if I hadn't read the book. The factories are very dangerous to work in and also not very healthy. The work conditions are bad. It also tells how diseases can spread. I think the author is trying to send a message that fast food is not good.
This theme in this book shows that fast food isn’t as good as you thought. It really makes me think about what I am eating every time I order fast food. I think it has not only influenced me but others that have read the book as well. Maybe people will realize that its not as good as it looks, and you never know what might be in it. I think people are not educated well enough about how the food we eat is processed. Some people might think again about some of the food choices they make if they know how it’s made.
I think the author did a good job showing the theme and showing that he is clearly against fast food. He used specific examples of factories and fast food incidents that do not promote fast food chains. I think it is a good theme and if more people felt this way then the obesity rate in America and even other countries would go down. This book really did a good job of making me think and it defiantly changed my perception of fast food. Overall I think this is a good theme to learn and I think the author showed it well.

This is a picture during the french revolution. in the back ground there is smoke which most likely means kaos. In this battle there were alot of casulaties i can tell because there are bodies all over the floor. there was a solider holding the new flag which means that they won this battle. there are also alot of women in the french revolution.
This is a picture of a women holding the new flag. this means that women are gaining rights. This is a very important part of the revolution. There are also a lot of dead people and this means that there was a lot of death during the revolution.In conclusion i saw similar themes in all pictures.
