He allows himself to eat nothing but the unhealthy food from this restaurant for a whole month abiding by certain regulations. He had to eat at a McDonald’s restaurant at least three times a day during this binge, and was required to have every food item on the menu at least one time. However, perhaps the most crucial rule in this experiment was that if at any time one of the cashiers asked him if he would like to “supersize” his meal, Spurlock was forced to oblige. Throughout this month Spurlock gained a total of 24.5 lbs and suffered from mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and an alarming accumulation of fat on his liver. Also, his body mass increased by 13% and his cholesterol level escalated to an unhealthy 230.
In the movie Super Size me, I thought it was very nasty that Morgan had to eat one of everything off the menu at Mcdonalds in just one month. Me personally, I could not even get close to eating that much food in one month at all. Morgan must have felt guilty about eating all of that food when he was so skinny to start with. He was like only 123 pounds, after eating Mcdonalds for a month he went up to 267.Morgan had seemed very depressed and he started to have very bad chest pains after eating all of that food there. If I ever had to eat all of that food....
The media has portrayed video games as the source of aggressive violence in the people who play them. This also influences many people to believe that a majority of video gamers are a “unsocial teenager, who remains locked in his room for hours on end, skip meals and human contact, and gradually becomes more prone to violence…” People often mistaken gamers as the usual fat and unappealing “couch potato” who sits around all day playing video games. According to the author’s essay, these misconceptions are false. The author states through CQ Researcher, 2006, that gamers actually spend seven hours a month on video games, while the rest of those hours are being spent outside and other curricular activities. As for the part with gamers and violence, gamers are not prone to become the next Columbine High gunman.
However, as the movie progresses, a few inner problems come into light. For example, Will sees a boy who bullies him in kindergarten, so he and his friends jump the guy. Watching the fight, one can see that there is a lot of bottle up emotions inside of Will, and he really resents this person from his childhood. When the police catch up to him, the viewer finds out that this is not the first time Will has been in trouble with the law; he is a felon who uses his good people skills and public speaking to get out of jail time. Even later on in the movie, we also see that Will is a chain smoker, violent, and has extreme trust issues.
On the occasions I did, I remember he could frighten a child of young age by his “grizzly bear” attitude though in addition at the end of the day he would always make sure we left with a shiny half-dollar coin and some form of sugary candies that were sure to get him a disapproving glare from our mother! Thou he rarely showed it you sensed down under his outwardly grumbles he had a heart that was as mushy as porridge. Spending time with my Uncle in the past few months has validated those suspicions. He still tries to mask himself with the grumbly bear front, however from viewing his relationship with my own daughter I can see that heart of his has softened much over the years and he is truly a kind and gentle
-Benvolio Dear Journal, Later In the day my uncle if i had seen his son (my cousin) Romeo. I of course had no clue where he could be, but i was glad that he wasn't in the fight. As we were talking out of no where Romeo just shows up. My uncle and aunt were both talking about he has been acting all depressed lately and i was just starting to notice that. I then headed over to him and started to talk to him and learn why he
Sedaris and Sanders both describe their events with an emotional state in their lives, one being "Cyclops" which describes his father's exaggerated messages towards dangerous encounters as "Under the Influence" by Sanders causes a mournful tone as he recollects his father's alcoholism. "Under the influence" By Sanders truly sparked a dramatic scene in my head as I read his story as a kid dealing with a dramatic house hold experience. He dealt with a loving relative which happened to be his father, self destruct before his eyes as he watched helplessly. I can remember being at that age, where most things seem simple until I met my fathers other half. It was like night and day as weekdays turned into weekends and father figures turning me into an agitated and frusterated kid.
As the years kept going by, my father had moments of sobriety and converted to Christianity; however, it was a vicious circle. I was a teenager, and to me it was very embarrassing going to school and seeing my dad walking drunk around the school area. There was a time when a friend of the family went home to tell my mom that my dad had fallen asleep in a corner of a sidewalk between a car that was parked. My mother had told me to go running and wake him up, since I was younger and faster. So I ran and saw him there… to my surprise, the moment I went to wake him up, there was a man in the car getting ready to take off; as he saw me helping my father he couldn’t believe how he didn’t realize that there was someone laying there and he could’ve ran over him.
I would eat and eat without thinking, at times when I was full I kept eating because I had a low self-esteem (because of my weight problem). I would sit down and play videogames all day, never work out, never watch what I was eating until one day I decided that it was time to put down the food and start breaking down my brick wall (get rid of my fat). I lost over 100 pounds in 9 months, I consumed protein shakes constantly and I ate meals I found online including 2 cups of veggies each day (I got use to it after a while). Life without my snacks (Soda/Pizza/etc.) wasn’t easy to say the least but I was in disgust with how I looked and I was determined to fix it.
Todd’s parents think that he should become a lawyer and they do not give him a lot of attentions as they send him the same desk set each year. Their new English teacher, Mr. Keating or “The Captain”, is different from the rest and some of the students find him mad. In their first class, he brings them to see pictures of some of the former students at the school. Through poems he tells them to seize the day, Carpe Diem, a term which he thinks the students should live by. Mr. Keating’s way of teaching brings out the uniqueness of the pupils, but the other teachers, bound by traditions and discipline, do not like his way of teaching.
