The pickle picture Alex was a strong stout lab named after conquerors of old. He had a certain affinity for growing things. One year Alex raised the most perfect pickles you have ever seen. They were long, straight and with very few knobs or bumps. By pickle standards they were perfect. Alex thought I should share these with the world. So one day he chose the very best of his perfect pickles and took a picture of it. He sent his perfect pickle picture to everyone he knew just knowing they would be as excited about his most perfect pickle as he was. To everyone that received the perfect pickle picture it came as somewhat of a shock to open the message and see a pickle. Nothing remarkable about it, no twists, or corkscrew shape, not even a

  • Stereotypes In The Goophered Grapevine And Dave's Neckliss?

    1554 Words  | 4 Pages

    Scattered throughout our history books, you can find countless examples of wars being fought and conflicts that boil down to simply power and who has it. As a general statement, everyone wants to have some power and ability to control their own lives, if not the lives of those around them. If the two stereotypes that we are presented with about the relationship between race and food could be reduced to their most simplistic explanation, you would be left with the idea that by treating African Americans as food or comical relief, Caucasians are stripping their African American counterparts of their power to control their own lives and showing their supposed dominance. There is no doubt that Chesnutt utilizes these stereotypes in both “The Goophered Grapevine” and “Dave’s Neckliss,” however, he goes past and complicates these stereotypes when he introduces characters that slyly take back some of the power that they are stripped of.

  • Napoleon Dynamite Stereotypes

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    Movies are a new edition in today’s culture. They are a new form of art medium that has arrived in the late 1900s and were a new way to express ideas and viewpoints of the time. A good example of this is the movie The Manchurian Candidate. The movie had a simple plot a man is kidnapped after the Korean war and is hypnotized to work for the communists and take down the U.S. This movie showed the American public’s fear of communism at the time. If a movie like this can easily portray the fears of the American people at the time then it can easily portray stereotypes of gender. There have been thousands of movies where the male protagonist is a rough tough dude but there is one movie that has that stereotype is broken. That movie is none other than Napoleon Dynamite.

    Berry does not hesitate in using harsh words and metaphors like “the hamburger she is eating came from a steer who spent much of his life standing deep in his own excrement in a feedlot”(Berry 10).

    RaStereotyping is a way of thinking about groups of people. It ignores the differences of the group, while emphasizing its similarity. One belief, that is a stereotype, is that red-haired people are hot tempered. Another belief is that Scottish people are stingy.

  • morals versus desire

    775 Words  | 2 Pages

    Initially, Wharton uses the red pickle dish to represent what is left of the love and vitality in Ethan and Zeena’s marriage; but after the dish has been broken by the cat, it symbolizes the destruction of their marriage. The cat destroying the dish is also significant because the cat represents Zeena's constant, foreboding presence inside the house. The cat being the one to blame for the breaking of the dish also means Zeena being the blame for the failure of the marriage, but in reality Ethan is to blame for the dish falling as the cat likely would not have knocked over the dish if his hand had not lingered on top of Mattie’s. Ethan’s feelings also begin to grow stronger for Mattie after the dish breaks because not only did it represent the marriage’s failure, but diminished the morals that come along with marriage. Eventually, Zeena finds the broken pieces of the dish that Ethan had hidden and though “her lips were twitching with anger” there was also “a flush of excitement on her sallow face” (109). Zeena expresses excitement because now it is not only her contributing to the failure of the marriage. But her anger shines through in the end despite her dissatisfaction in the relationship, because society’s reaction to the end of her marriage would be far more devastating than the emotional pain. The red pickle dish in itself represents t...

    Sounds a little gross, right? But, pickling turned out to be a great preservation method for out ancestors. Vinegar is made from starches or sugars, you can usually find this in wine or alcohol. It is fermented first into alcohol and then goes through oxidation. Wines, beers, and certain ciders were usually made into vinegar. The most well known form of pickling that we know today are pickles. We see peppers that have been pickled in the grocery store and many other foods, but where did this all start? Pickling being one of the earliest forms of food preservation, not knowing exactly when it originated, started some time around 2400 B.C. by the Mesopotamians. The containers were typically made of stone or glass because vinegar could dissolve some metal. Since our ancestors were not the type to waste, they figured a way to use left over pickling brine, such as the Romans. The Romans would make a popular fish pickle sauce called

His family was living in very bad apartments at that time and the food budget was a tight one. The women in his life who cooked for him did their best to keep his, his father’s, and his sister’s stomachs all full any means necessary, while also pulling on their cultural roots. My step-father loved both the lima beans and the sauerkraut due to their inherently bitter tastes, which he has kept with him as he has grown up. Bratwursts and sauerkraut are one of his favorite dishes to this day and one he learned from watching his German grandmother in the

    It takes a good hour and forty-five minutes drive to get there from my house, and the drive gets a little boring. Chase's truck was full of junk. I found a roll of fishing line, and we got this bright idea to tie a piece of plastic to the end of the fishing line. I rolled down the window and threw out the plastic piece while holding on to the roll of fishing line. I let out more and more line, until the end was way out there. People would drive up to it and be confused, because they wouldn't see the fishing line, just the plastic piece.
