Queen Grimhilde: Snow White

Queen Grimhilde: Snow White

    As you might already know Queen Grimhilde is one of  Disney's most evil Queens. What most people do not know is that she was bullied her whole childhood, by not only her friends but also her grandmother. She grew up in a evil world, where the outside beauty and being a demon on the inside was what was important to her grandmother. Queen Grimhilde was the child that no one liked, she was fat and ugly. No one really knew the real her though; she was the child that was open-hearted, and had a dream of becoming someone who her grandmother loved and respected. As she grew up, she was bullied enough that she decided that she had enough nerve to become the idea of what her grandmother wanted her to be: a skinny, young looking, beautiful girl, with a demon (evil) head. She turned fifteen just a few days after she decided this, so she joined a show called “The Biggest Loser.” From the start of the show, she was bullied even more because she was on television, but the human she was brushed it off and was set on her goal to be the perfect idea for her grandmother. Eight weeks later she was the skinny, young looking, and beautiful girl. And yet she had become the demon of her grandmother’s dreams. Every since then she has never let her grandmother down with going back to the open-hearted beautiful girl.

Hero - Understanding Beowulf

Beowulf is the only known oldest surviving Old English poem. The only copy known was written in the 11th century A.D. Beowulf was written as a setting taking place in what we now call Sweden, this was where the tribe the Geats lived: this story may take place in the early years of A.D. In Beowulf there is three main themes: Good vs Evil, Establishing Identity, and Courage.

A person's moral character should be held the highest because Someone could be a very kind and thoughtful person and really care about someone other than themselves, but they could have not physical achieved very much in their life span. Nor could they have intellectual qualities. The person could be not very bright, or have achieved very much, but they could be a hero to some.

Old English vs. Modern English

The Old English language, also known as Anglo-Saxon, has been spoken and written in England before 1100. In modern english most nouns are combinded into one, however in Old English each noun had it's own gender; masculine, feminine, or neuter. Verbs had a two different cases "weak" verbs and then "Strong" verbs, the ends on each changes the mood or tense of the person. Definite articles even had the genders attached to them. Although Old English lookes quite different from modern English on paper, once the pronunciation and rules of spelling are understood, many words are quite familiar to the modern ears. The English today still has some of  the roots that were used in Old English such as, water and earth. However, there are some words in today's english that has came from Old English but has changed meaning. The most common word is wif, old english, and wife, in Modern English. Wif use to mean any woman, married or not, but today's word wife means a married woman considered in relation to her spouse. Modern English and Old English is very different but yet very similar.

Part VI: Product of the USA

What should I have for dinner tonight? This is what I think every single night after a long, hard, rough day at work. Should I be a nice and great mom and wife and make an awesome home cooked meal, or should I stop by McDonald's and pick up the Titan meal for tonight’s football game. The titan meal at McDonald's is just enough for all four of us to big mac’s one for me and one for my husband and then a ten-piece chicken nugget for the two kids and then two medium fries for all of us to share. The slow home cooked meal will be so much better for our health, but the Titan meal is going to taste so much better and make the kids so much happier. Also, I will not have to wash dinner or clean up the left overs. This is the challenge I have to go through every single day.

Part V Apple Juice:Product of Michigan China

Inspection on the food is something huge the United States of America should really be concerned about. "Each year 5,000 Americans are killed and 325,000 hospitalized by contaminated food" (Timmerman 200). I do not understand this at all. I live in the United States of America, and I do not want to be killed from contaminated food. The United States imports more than half of the nation’s food sources. There should be a law put into place taking care of the inspection on the imported foods. The countries that we import from could easily put some type of pesticide in the food to start an epidemic in the population of the United States. Is that really what we want to happen? There is already enough people getting killed or hospitalized now. We need to decrease the numbers and put a law in place to enforce the inspection of imported foods. 

Part IV Lobster: Product of Nicaragua

Life is tough and very hard, for my wife, children and I. I’m gone for ten to twelve days at a time, my children are growing up too much while I’m gone. Both my wife and I feel very lonely while I am away. The only positive thing about this job as a lobster diver is that I get to support my family. The two worst things about this job is that I can’t be with my family a lot and the training of the job is very poor, also the technology or equipment is very poor. The training is very brief and not very safe. The companies that give us this jobs do not care about our health or families all they care about is their money. The most dangerous thing about being a lobster diver is that it is very common for us to get injuries that could kill us or even paralyze us. This is a very dangerous job! I do not like it, and I will never like it but sometimes you have go on and do what you have to do to support your family. The companies do not understand that I am the supporter in my family I have children to support and also a wife. If I get hurt and she leaves me I will not be okay. This is a job that I have to have and I have to earn money to support my family.

Part III Banana: Product of Costa Rica

Sustainable farming is an idea that farmers use to protect the environment, and also keeping the ground they are farming healthy. Should the world go to sustainable farming or should the world just try to grow the product as much as possible and not care about the environment, animal welfare, the human communities, or public health? The world should start caring about the environment they live in. If not the posterity of the world will not be living in a healthy world.  

In “Where Am I Eating” written by Kelsey Timmerman on page 149 he states “Luis showed me short and tall plants, big and small, and bland and sweet bananas. We walked around and under 80 different varieties of bananas on EARTH’s organic banana farm. The farm is a living, growing bank of biodiversity. It’s something the scientists like Luis believe we need more of – and need to fiercely protect.” He states that Luis believes we need more biodiversity farms. Which is correct, they organically grow there different bananas. With them growing more than one type they more than likely don’t grow them in the same exact spot every single season. Which is better for the land and the human communities around the farm. If you grow the same food object in the same spot every season eventually the soil in that area will not grow the food anymore because it will not have the right minerals to do so.

“By planting highly valued tropical plants, Cid and Paoloa showed farmers that they could earn as much from 1,000 square meters of land as they could from 100,000 square meters” (Timmerman 146). Cid and Paoloa could very well be correct this is something you have to be very educated about to learn how to make the same amount of money off of 1,000 square meters of land than 100,000 square meters of land. That is 10 times as less land than 100,000 square meters. If the whole world could do this we could keep the demand and produce at the same amount. Also, the world wouldn’t have to farm as much land as they are now. That would mean we would have more land to urbanize and then less rural areas in the world.

The world is something different today as it was 10 years ago, and it will be different in 10 years from now. New technology will be invented, and old farming practices will be eliminated. Although one thing will never change and that is farming will always have some part in the life of the world. Sustainable Farming is the way to go though, because urbanization is become more and more popular. Which means that if the urban population takes over the rural areas to make them into popular cities, we will have less land to farm. This is where sustainable farming will come into a huge role. Farming in less land but making the same amount of money off of it. Sustainable farming is going to become the best decision to very country.
