The Candy Lover There was once a ten year old boy named Billy. He simply loved candy. Chocolate bars, liquorice, peppermints, mints, candy canes, sour candies, taffy, jelly beans, caramels, rock candy, lollipops, cotton candy, gummy candy, dark chocolate, white chocolate. Any candy you could think of and he liked it… and had it. Stored away from his parents eyes of course. He would hide it in his shoes, tape it on top of his ceiling fan. Put it his piggy bank, hide them in his folded clothes. Tape pieces to the underside of the desk. Any where his parents wouldn’t see it. His parents did not approve of candy. They believed it would rot out all of his teeth and make their one and only son dumber than dumb. If they had found out he was eating …show more content…
He got off, parked, and locked up his bike on the closest pole. Cautiously, he picked up the cash and entered the shabby looking store. When he had gone through the door his jaw dropped.

There were all his favorites and usual types of candy. But there was also candy from what seemed all the countries in the world. He walked along each aisle marveling at the amount of candy when he, accidently, ran into an old man who looked to be about …show more content…
Deciding where to go he went to the aisle that had a sign overhead saying, “Came from the Unknown.” Down it there were candies with hair, slime, skin, and even something that looked so much like blood it was sickening to look at.

Making sure that his parents were occupied, he took out the bag of candy and opened it. WOOSH! A burst of cold air came out of the bag and it was so strong that it knocked Billy to the floor, the candy spilling everywhere. Dazed he started to pick them up. Taking a closer look at one he thought that it looked exactly like his friend from school. In fact, he looked around for a moment, then… There! It was one that looked exactly like his mom. In the end he counted the amount of gummy people and there was five hundred the same population in his town. He found the one that looked like him and when he picked it straight up fast, he went flying up as well. Getting back up he very carefully put it somewhere safe. He suspected that it was a voo-doo sort of

The banker was frantic. A large mob was gathering outside his bank and the people were clamoring for their money. The banker called the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis and warned that unless this "mad run" were stopped, he would soon be out of currency. With the bank nearly two-hundred miles from Minneapolis, a small plane carrying two Federal Reserve Bank officials and a half-million dollars in cash were quickly flown into town. Upon approaching the town the pilot guided the plane low over the main street in a sensational arrival and then landed. From there, the money was carried ceremoniously into town and stacked along the bank's teller windows. The sight of the money calmed the customers fears and saved the bank from failing.
In this short story, O'Brien does not truly following a classical narrative structure. But needless to say the characters are introduced in the beginning of the story by the items they carried with them. One item that is oddly mention in the story is the candy M&M's. “ As a medic, Rat Kiley carried a canvas satchel filled with morphine and plasma and malaria tablets and surgical tape and comic books and all the things a medic must carry, including M&M's for especially bad wounds, for a total weight of nearly 20 pounds."

The Theobroma cacao tree is where it all started. Olmecs, Aztecs, and Mayans were the original consumers of cocoa: they would form it into a drink and ingest it for medicinal reasons (Allen Par. 7). The Spanish then brought it back to Europe and continued to treat a variety of ailments with it (Allen Par. 7). In the last 40 years people have started to question the health benefits of chocolate, but new research is starting to prove that the Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayans and Spaniards were not too far off. Now, the pods from the tree containing cocoa beans are collected, and the cocoa beans are taken out of the pod (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). The beans are then fermented, dried, roasted, then ground to make cocoa liquor (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). The cocoa liquor is then combined with sugar, vanilla, and cocoa butter to make what is now known as chocolate (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). Controversy over the health benefits and detriments of chocolate is slowly subsiding, but there are many things that a lot of people still do not know about how chocolate can affect ones health. Chocolate is misunderstood.
