Think about all the people who do not receive recognition for the simple jobs that they do, to Jarrett Krosoczka, the lunch lady is just one of those under the radar everyday heroes. In 2001, Krosoczka depicted women in aprons, holding ladles as crime fighting heroes. His mass approval of lunch ladies also appeared in 2014 on TED, where Krosoczka further taught people to thank the everyday people in our lives. Remarkably, these fictional characters with capes turned into real life lunch ladies full of confidence due to the recognition they deserved. We may not always think about the faces behind our school lunches, but Jarrett Krosoczka showed us that even lunch ladies can be rockstars. Almost every single person has had school lunch, …show more content…
Keeping things professional, appropriate, and easily understood allows Krosoczka to break through the heavier armoured people in his crowd. Although his topic of lunch ladies may not seem all that professional, he still must continue to stay in character with proper tone and pristine imagery. Without the proper tone, his message could be received differently and defeats the purpose of drawing attention to the lunch ladies of our schools. Professionalism is also a sign of respect toward the lunch ladies, it shows that Krosoczka takes this seriously and wants others to see his argument for exactly what it is …show more content…
With the use of short sentences, Krosoczka can make quick points that move the story ahead such as, “I had never thought about any of that before” (0:11). His choice to use a shorter sentence adds more emotion and meaning to the work and pushes these feelings straight out into the audience. This helps him create the proper foundation of his story, while also allowing the audience members to think and relate to what has been said. There are also a diverse selection of other sentence lengths throughout the presentation. Using special words and complex sentences this allows Krosoczka to get straight to the guts of the argument with flow and expertise. Once again, all of these things add up to creating a perfect rendition of the long time ignored lunch lady who deserves
[During the telling of the story there were no meaningful gestures, just pauses when the storyteller couldn't remember certain details, or when she wanted to take more sips of her macchiato. The storyteller did not relate the story with intonation or pitch changes, nor did her rate change. It was more like the stating of facts she knew.]
Most people will not recognize the name Stella Liebeck but say the words “hot coffee lawsuit” and recognition will be instant. The story is almost so well known that it has almost passed into the realm of urban legend or myth. And in the broad strokes it has become a bit of a myth. An old woman drives through a McDonald’s drive through, orders a cup of coffee and then promptly and recklessly spills the beverage all over her legs. Then in search of an easy payday she sues the restaurant for millions of dollars, ultimately walking away a millionaire with no more damage than a ruined pair of sweatpants. The story has been held up as a parable for what is wrong with America today. The well-worn story can be held up to serve as a totem pole for any number of issues. People don’t want to work for money anymore, just look at that hot coffee lady. People don’t want to take responsibility for their actions, just look at that hot coffee lady. People are idiots, look at that coffee lady. As it turns out, the “coffee lady” is a good story for examining the world we live in today, but not for the reasons that might be expected.
Through his choice of style and structure, he is able to reflect the meaning of the short essay as a whole and get the point
The writer has used a combination of narrative and descriptive styles of writing. He has used the descriptive style to give a step by step illustration on what a man should do, how he should behave and lastly what he should say from the beginning to the end of the story (Meyer 45). The narrative style comes into play as he adds in his characters, the conflicts they will face or words they will use and the settings and or challenges they will encounter throughout the short story. This
In this analysis, I’m going to make a comparison of the “Clever Manka” and “The Story of An Hour”, conflicts and their principal characters.
His speech effortlessly flows from him meeting his elementary lunch lady Jeannie, to the creation of his graphic novel series, and the widespread effect the series has had on elementary schools around the country. This style eases the audience into the main message, allowing them to have time to get used to Krosoczka before being thrust into a world of facts and statistics. This also allows the reader to see the widespread effects caused by his simple meeting with Jeannie therefore convincing the audience of the broad improvements caused by small changes. Another way he persuades his audience is as he reflects on his experiences both in elementary school and the success of his program the audience reflects on their past as well. This vastly improves his argument, convincing his audience of the validity of his cause by showing the efforts he
In July of 2014, Jarrett J. Krosoczka spoke at a TED talk in New York City. The people who typically attend TED talks are executives and CEO’s. Krosoczka started off his speech “Why lunch ladies are heroes” by talking about how he returned to his elementary school and saw his old lunch lady. She inspired him to create a graphic novel series about lunch ladies being super heroes. The purpose of this speech was to convince more people to see the importance of lunch ladies. Jarrett Krosoczka uses pathos and compound- complex sentences to show the reasoning behind why the work that lunch ladies do deserves recognition.
Chopin uses varying sentence lengths to put emphasis on certain parts of the story. She calls attention to certain parts by creating lengthy sentences that go into specific detail. These types of sentences are often used for description, whether it be the person, place, or even atmosphere of a situation. On the other hand, Chopin can be concise when it comes to long complicated events, by summing them up in quick, simple statements, such as this paragraph from Chapter 8:
Wu, Sarah. Fed up with Lunch: How One Anonymous Teacher Revealed the Truth about School Lunches--and How to Change Them! San Francisco, CA: Chronicle, 2011. E

In the simplest form, there is a basic structural pattern to narratives, as expressed through Tzvetan Todorov’s explanation of narrative movement between two equilibriums. A narrative begins in a stable position until something causes disequilibrium, however, by the end of the story, the equilibrium is re-established, though it is different than the beginning (O’Shaughnessy 1999: 268). Joseph Cam...
Throughout the years, students have made it known how much they detest school lunches. So much, in fact, it’s become a well known element in every high school movie. The main characters meet up in the cafeteria, ready to discuss the matter at hand, but pause to comment on the egregious quality of the school provided food. Although the plot is fiction, the fact that every student has qualms about their school lunches remains true; especially at McKeel Academy of Technology.
Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour is a brilliant short story of irony and emotion. The story demonstrates conflicts that take us through the character’s emotions as she finds out about the death of her husband. Without the well written series of conflicts and events this story, the reader would not understand the depth of Mrs. Mallard’s inner conflict and the resolution at the end of the story. The conflict allows us to follow the emotions and unfold the irony of the situation in “The Story of an Hour.”
It might be pertinent and helpful here to first discuss the structure of the narrative itself, for there are several elements in the sequencing of the discourse that contribute in no small way to the overall effect of the narration/narrator. The narrative begins in media res (beginning in the midst of the action at a crucial junct...
The traditional short story is a genre of a prose. It is a fiction work that presents a world in the moment of an unexpected change. The traditional short story obeys some rules, such as the unexpected change and major events with detail. The modern short story is a revolution which is based on the traditional short story. In other words, if the traditional short story is in the first floor, the modern short story is in the second floor. Therefore, the modern short story still obeys some rules that the traditional short story obeys, and breaks some rules that the traditional short story obeys. One rule that the modern short story still uses is the unexpected change. The rules broken by the modern short story are that the major events are not detailed, and that the border between the real world and the fiction world. This paper first talks about the unexcepted change and uses the examples of “Eveline” and “The Open Window.” Then, this paper talks about major events with detail, and uses the examples of “Lottery,” “The Open Window” and “Hills Like White Elephants.” Finally, this paper talks about the meta-literary and the border between the real world and the fiction
