Rachel Ray Vs. Paula Dean
Jessica M. Bird Ms. Castro Compare and Contrast Cooking Shows English 101 22 October 2009 Rachel Ray Vs. Paula Deen On television today there are many different cooking shows. There are the contests one as well as the home cooking. The home cooking actually teaches you how to cook a meal and are more enjoyable. Rachel Ray and Paula Deen are the two most popular hosts. In a lot of aspects the shows are very similar, but at the same time they are different. Showing individual how to make different meals/snacks is the point of this show. Yet each has a different target audience. Paula targets families more because she is making meals the entire family can enjoy. Rachel also does this, but she targets the party throwers as well. Not high school, college parties, but adult get togethers. The target audience is pertinent because it will draw different people to your show. The setting of both of these home-cooking shows is a kitchen. However the two kitchens are very different. Rachel's kitchen if full of bright color, looking like an average home in seventies. The walls are made of green tiles and all of the cabinets are a bright orange. She has fruit bowls on the counters that are made of wood. All of the colors are a little distracting. The colors also clash, green and orange do not go well together, and neither does the brown counter tops. Modern kitchens do
The Great Gatenby.
The Great Gatenby "'Which one of us is which, sir?' I asked, then wished I hadn't as Gilligan lit up like a fireworks display." (Marsden, 1989; 81) That is the story of Erle Gatenby's first term at Linley. A normal teenager troubled by going to school, teachers, girls, and, of course, getting into trouble. Since the first day at his new school Erle had a crush on the rebellious, sexy Melanie Tozer. During the course of the novel they developed a steady relationship, which caused them to become isolated from their friends and receive unwanted attention from teachers, especially Gilligan. "He had a line about how spending so much time in each others company meant that we were antisocial and were isolating ourselves from 'the group'." (Marsden, 1989; 41) Erle and Melanie had a major influence on each other that drove them towards a lot of trouble. Smoking was the cause of most of this but it seemed to bring them closer together. It is a daily routine for them to sneak out and go to their favourite spot for a quiet smoke. Getting into trouble was not the only thing they had in common. They were both good in the water, Erle at swimming, Melanie at diving. They both shared the experience of the early 6 o'clock training session. The more they saw each other, the stronger their relationship seemed to get. During the early stages of the relationship they didn't take their
Behind the Canvas
Behind the canvas the shadow loomed large and dangerous. The head was enormous and it seemed to be floating in the air. The feet, as long as canoes, would rise and fall as the other elongated shadow moved up towards the top of the tent. As John entered the tent, the head burst. It was a balloon, a silly childish prank. The shadow, a petite ten year old. Falling on top of his mates in laughter, John started to come round from his ever-lasting laughing fit. "That was the worst monster I've ever seen," laughed James. " It wasn't as bad as your go yesterday!" chuckled David. "OK, but you have to say that that was awful David," James stated. " Time for some real stories I think." "Not ghost stories, James they're boring," whined John. "Not a ghost story, John, a real story..." The time was 2-45pm and there was only fifteen minutes until kick-off and the road was deserted. A piece of tumbleweed blew across the pavement. A bulky shadow squeezed under the thin barriers and a tall, chunky middle-aged man was walking across the road towards the ground. By his side his son, a skinny seven year old. They rushed through the busy traffic and into the long never-ending passageway, which reflected the sight of a Leviathan winding through the prehistoric woodlands, towards the stadium. The boy was furiously tugging his father's hand in an attempt to arrive on time. Stopping 100m from

Can We Paint With All the Colours of the Wind? Some may think that we own the earth and we can do whatever we want to it. Most of the time, we are more concerned about making our lives more comfortable even though we are already living in a modern city like Hong Kong. Every day we consume energy and fail to recognize how we should do it in a more environmentally friendly way. Little do people know the story behind energy and how it is connected to the quality of our lives and our planet. Where does energy come from? It comes from burning fossil fuels. From heating our homes, to fuelling our cars, and to manufacturing our MP3 players, energy is produced and consumed naturally. Fossil fuels are either burned directly or burned in power stations to drive turbines which generate electricity. Every time we burn fossil fuels such as natural gas or oil, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. In a natural carbon cycle, carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees. However, the rate we are producing carbon dioxide is so quick that plants and trees have no chance of absorbing it. These extra carbon emissions are affecting our earth's atmosphere. Therefore, to maintain a better future, we ought to reduce our carbon emission. In addition, all this extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere changes the overall temperature of the planet. It is rising, causing what
McFly Radio:ACTIVE Music Review
Release date: 22nd September 2008 Over the past 5 years in the spotlight, McFly have constantly been chucked back and forth between critics like a piece of bait between angry dogs - being criticized for being too pop or trying to be too rock, for being young and for being tied together with the name "boyband". And what do they have to say back to this continuous battle to win over the charts and the crowds? This album. Filled with provocative lyrics and catchy tunes to fight back to the critics and put them in the top spot after scoring sixteen singles in the top 10, seven of which fought to number one. Originally released for free in The Mail On Sunday newspaper on 20th July 2008, the band planned a rerelease of the album featuring four extra tracks and a DVD of the recording of the album in Australia. The newspaper's normal circulation went up by 300,000 when the album was released as fans sold out shops to get their hands on the exclusive paperback album. An astounding 2.5 million copies were given away in total while the recent rereleased deluxe version peaking at number 8 in the UK album chart and also had success in other worldwide: Japan, Europe and South America to name a few. Singer and guitarist Tom Fletcher revealed, "We get to put it into almost three million homes, which is an incredible opportunity for us. Hopefully the three million people will all enjoy the
WIDE SARGASSO SEA
WIDE SARGASSO SEA COURSEWORK Wide Sargasso Sea is a novel set by a woman in the time when females were obviously being marginalised and seen as one of the least important roles in society. Many different views of women's role in the 1960s .The style written gave the impression that women were becoming aware of the feminist ideas. This grew out of the civil rights and the black movement. The women were especially active in these times. Also one note to be made is that reviews on this novel speak of Rhys' style of writing is to do with women who need a man in order to live through the struggles of life looking and discussing this through my essay this concludes that this is true. The novel of Wide Sargasso Sea tells you what it was like to be a woman in these times, and a majority of the novel is written in the mind of a woman. The first relationship of the male and female is between the main two characters Mr Rochester and Antoinette. The most significant thing about this relationship is that the roles of power change. In the beginning, coming into a new setting, Mr Rochester finds it difficult to adapt to the environment and his ethnocentric view does not aid this. He talks about trying to discover the secret of Granbois. This makes him inferior because he doesn't know the area well enough to have any real knowledge of it, and being a male in this relationship he has
How does Bronte present Hopes and Fears in Chapters 1-9 of Jane Eyre?
How does Bronte present Hopes and Fears in Chapters 1-9 of 'Jane Eyre?' Bronte makes Jane's childhood very vivid to the reader. Childhood is an important stage of any person's life, it prepares them for adulthood. Jane's childhood comprises only one sixth of the book yet it is the most important part. We learn how her hopes and fears take over her mind. Jane is treated unfairly by her Aunt Reed and bullied by her cousin John. Jane's fears have an impact on the reader, who feels sympathy towards her and hope that her life will be better. As it is a Victorian novel we expect the good and innocent to be rewarded and the evil characters to be punished by the end of the story. Hope sustains her and she has row with her aunt and leaves to go to school. This is her dream of a hope. In the 19th Century children did not have the protection of the social services or NSPCC. Some children were treated badly and were given no respect. Jane is a strong person and this makes her a confident woman later on in the novel. Jane's life in the Reed's house is upsetting for the reader, because of the way she is treated. John Reed particularly mistreats her, and this can be seen throughout the chapters. It is made clear to the reader when they have an argument, and Jane says, "You are like a murderer". Bronte's use of simile at this point is effective as it creates emphasis on the idea that Jane
Butler's Log (The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler)
A Butler's Log of Events As a dedicated servant and a confidante to the Sternwood family it is my responsibility to ensure this family is safe from those inside and outside the law. Recently, after Terence Regan's unexplained disappearance, the General has made some rather risky decisions that endanger his family and himself. One of which involved hiring a Private Detective. He claims to be hiring a detective to put an end to the blackmail he is receiving but knowing him as well as I do, I immediately suspected he was searching for Regan. I couldn't possibly allow this detective to discover the truth behind Terence's disappearance. So I have decided to produce this diary of events, which will keep track of this Private Dick as closely as a butler can. I will record the time and date of each visit from this detective from the day he steps through that door. 1:07pm, October 16 - I checked my watch as the doorbell sounded, I awaited his arrival as we had earlier arranged a meeting for 11.00, he was seven minutes late... Not so organized for a hero. He was thirty-five or so, sharp, well-groomed, well-defined, and definitely from the wrong side of the tracks. His guarded dark-brown eyes gave me no immediate impression of him. He stood there gazing into my eyes, trying to sum me up. Upon meeting Carmen, unlike most men, he wasn't interested. He kept himself guarded as she threw
Commentary on Lewis Carroll
Commentary When asked to transform a literary piece of writing into a whole different form, many things came to mind. I aimed to turn a great piece of literature into something imaginative, interesting yet original. So I sought something that is not seen very frequently- transforming a fairly modern piece of text into something very dated and old. And hence the inspiration to transform 'Alice in wonderland' into an epistolary form, and the text that enthused this was Tobias Smollett's famous novel 'Humphrey Clinker', which I shall be using as a style model. The text I'll be focusing on is a letter written by Matthew Bramble, 'To Dr Lewis' about the city Bath, where he goes for treatment. A study of the discourse for my style model helped me to determine the characteristics of the genre. Referred to as satirical writing it is highly critical and minutely disapproving. This contrast to Lewis Carroll's hilarity appealed to me as an interesting genre of change. Lewis Carroll employs certain conventions so the conveyance of meaning through language is full of silly nonsense whilst Tobias Smollett wrote his letter in utter seriousness. It has a tone of authority, aristocracy and gravity. But Alice in wonderland on the other hand is full of silly anecdotes and a plot filled with clever wordplay and a highly amusing read for ages big and small. The age gap of each piece is also
A life in the day of Alex
A life in the day of Alex The annoyance of the reminding call that is my alarm clock telling me to leave the safety and warmth of my bed and get up for school is drilling through my dreams as I fall out my bed and collapse in a sleepy heap trying to turn the damn thing off. Its only 7 o-clock and I'm finding sheer bliss in the thought of sleep for an extra half an hour but don't because I have to get in the shower before school. I love my bedroom, not just because my bed is there but also because it reflects on who I am. I choose the colours the items and most of all it's the only space I can call mine and in a house of 6(or 7 including the cat) that is a big achievement. I stumble up the stairs like I have no head and dive into the bathroom before anyone else even thinks about getting in. after a long karaoke session and running out of shampoo and soap (I use far too much of everything!) I run downstairs to my room and start to blow dry my hair. This may seem really pathetic but like most other women I think I would die if I never had a hair dryer, it is one of the most important inventions ever made god bless its creator. Then its time to fix my face and correct it by adding a washable mask onto it. By now its usually 8 o-clock and I'm packing my bag and eating my breakfast at the same time I never have time to do one at a time because by the time ive done my hair and
