Quality blogging about poor quality cheese.


The most disgusting thing that I have ever heard of would have to be processed cheese. It comes in one simple plastic layer. It's actually quite disgusting if you ask me. I remember as a child eating it as much as I drank water. It was seriously the only thing that I would consume on a daily basis. I now look back at it and I am repulsed. It has an awful odour and i actually have got no idea on what it is made of. Is it like hot dogs made of gross reminisce from that day at the slaughter house or is made of plastic? My god it could be anything.
So i went on a mission myself to find out what this delightful " fake" cheese is made of. What I came up with was ultimately the disgusting. The "cheese" is made with real cheese but food colouring, extra salt, and texture is added if needed. This cheese lacks flavour and interest, but people eat for its convince.. just like every other person in North America. Taken straight for Wikipedia, it states "Pasteurized process cheese can be made from a single cheese or a blend of several cheeses. Cream milk fat, water, salt, artificial colour and spices may also be added. The mixture is heated with an emulsifier, poured into a mold, and allowed to cool". Honestly and truthfully, after someone reads this will they want to eat this delightful little treat? Knowing that your food is poured into a mold and cooled.. is this like a factory of car parts?
I think I have made may point very clear for all the readers. Processed cheese is not about the quality anymore, it's for the convience of the consumer. What have we come too, obviously to the point of eating fake cheese.

The Peril of Indiffrence.

The risk of apathy.

The ending of 'The Lottery" is shocking and completely un noticed and brings it to a completely random ending. Showing that these people act like regular normal but when brought up with an idea used for thousands of years, shows that they can be swayed to what the other people do. This story seems bizarre to any reader but it can be connected to real events from history. The people involved with WWI were regular normal everyday people. But when power was brought onto them, they become an entirely different person. Following this ruthless dictator the regular normal person became the terrorizer. Just like the stoning in The Lottery once an idea was decided people became almost an alter ego. Another example is racism. This relates to the story because its like a person is being singled out for really no reason. Just because of there skin colour it made them this like terrible person. But for what reason? No whatsoever, and it makes no sense. The people usually calling out the black person were regular people, who went on with there regular days but when confronted with the situation that they had grown up with they would act on it. In The Lottery the ideas the people had grown up with were all they knew, they knew no different and didn't know any different way to act. Elie Wiesel's speech relates to The Lottery in a numerous different ways because he they both show that people can seem one way and then turn around and be someone or something completely different. He says that in his speak as well that when the Nazi's invaded they were just regular people that he had known. Along with in The Lottery the townspeople were regular everyday people and when confronted with what was known as " tradition" they become new people it didn't matter if the person being was stoned was a friend or family member it was what they had grown up with and lead to believe was right. The Nazi's trained there soldiers to believe what they were doing was right and they followed direction. They were trained to believe the lies being told. It didn't matter if they new the person that they would be sending to the gas tank it was told to be the "right" thing.

Review.


"Nick and Norah's infinite playlist" has a vast amount of high energy and an intriguing plot that feels like it should keep going. Keeping the viewer excited for the next seen and never wanting it to end. It relates closely to its sister movie Juno, with returning characters and the same movie style. The characters are memorable and make you feel like you know them as if they were friends of your own. It chases two teenagers around the city of New York to find a secret band playing, called Where's Fluffy.Thus, like every movie ending up with them falling for each other in the end. The typical love movie of our century. The actor Michael Cera did an amazing job as Nick portraying an emotional indie rocker, relieving himself from a recent breakup. Norah, is a music enthusiast with a passion for life and friends. They end up loosing Norah's best friend and are set out into the city for a search for her as well as trying to find Where's Fluffy. As people and objects interfere this becomes the ideal date movie as well as a regular cute comedy.
