The land of snickers is an extravagant place. Sloths run wild, ravaging through land masses, trying to find all of the remaining potatoes in the land. There were very few colonies of potatoes left, but sloths loved potatoes. Yet one night every week they sit down and read a boring story called the boring story. A boring story is about a boy who is reading his sister a very boring story and because the boring story is boring she sleeps and dreams and the story is even more boring in her head. The sloth king reads this story to himself every night because he is a very lonely sloth. All of a sudden one day disaster struck, there were no more potatoes. All that was left in the land was snickers, so the sloth king, being the most important sloth …show more content…
However one young sloth, by the name of Bobby had stolen them all. Bobby had a plan for the potatoes, for he hated the taste of potatoes with a passion, but everyone else loved them. Bobby infected the potatoes with his magical voodoo and then let all of the sloths find them. The second the sloths found the potatoes they ate their share and took the rest back to the king. The sloths that had gone on the quest dropped off the potatoes and went home, but unfortunately for the sloths they never made it …show more content…
Bobbies plans were going smashingly, but as other sloths saw that sloths who ate potatoes were dying, other sloths started running away. Even though they were not running fast, they were still getting away from the infected potatoes.
As all of the sloths ran away, they slowly slowed down, not because of them getting tired, but because they were starting to stick to the ground. Eventually the sloths were entirely stuck in a chocolate swamp. All of a sudden one of the oldest sloths in the group, Albert, found the solution to get out of this mess. They could simply eat all of the chocolate. This would take a long time, but eventually would work.
70 years late, they ate ¼ of the swamp. The sloths were stupidly slow and their stomachs were stretching to extreme lengths to try to get out of the swamp. As they neared the finish of the swamp, one sloth found something buried deep in the swamp. It was a camera!
At that very moment all of the sloths realized their entire journey was a hoax and they were actually being recorded for some puny commercial. The sloths decided to hold a meeting in the middle of the half eaten swamp to discuss what they would do

“I’ll be right back.”(Burch, 4) Those were the last words his mother said to him before leaving. Jennings Michael Burch wouldn’t have been able to survive living in and out of New York orphanages without the support of his family and friends. His autobiographical novel, They Cage the Animals at Night, recounts his painful memories of when he lived in many different orphanages from the time he was eight till his early teens.

He had a very unstable life when he was young, he never knew how long he would be at home before he would have to be lent out to a new family or go to an orphanage because his mother was too sick to care for him and his brothers. Jennings didn’t want to stay in orphanages,
For the mass population of pet owners, pets are considered a treasure, so the conversation of how much is to be spend on them is a hot debut. I do agree with Burkhart Bilger's Argument that, “Our love affair with pets our pets has gotten out of control.” but I contend with the ideal that it is a widespread problem. I still insist that owners should show attention and love to their pet but so without the overspending in regards to your income. This topic is brought up in Bilgers’ article “The Last Meow” where he uses different facts, examples, and stories that back up my position.
Fluffy loved carrots. He ate them, and ate some more, and ate all of them until there were none left.
Schlosser sets off chapter 5: “Why the Fries Taste Good,” in Aberdeen, Idaho at the J. R. Simplot Plant where he introduces John Richard Simplot, “America’s great potato baron,” (Schlosser 111). Simplot dropped out of school at 15, left home, and found work on a potato farm in Declo, Idaho making 30 cents an hour. Simplot bought and turned profit on some interest-bearing scrip from some school teachers and used the money to at 600 hogs at $1 a head. He feed the hogs horse meat from wild horses he shot himself, later selling them for $12.50 a head. At age 16 Simplot leased 160 acres to begin growing Russet Burbank Potatoes. In the 1920s the potato industry was just picking up as Idaho was discovered to have the ideal soil and conditions for successfully growing potatoes (Schlosser 112). Soon Simplot was the “largest shipper of potatoes in the West, operating 33 warehouses in Oregon and Idaho,” (Schlosser 113). During World War II Simplot sold dehydrated potatoes and onions to the U.S. Army. By the time he was 36 he “was growing his own potatoes, fe...

Before reading the story, the students are to sit in a circle as I explain the instructions to them. One student is going to play the hungry thing and the rest of the students are going to play the townspeople. The hungry thing is going to wear an envelope around his neck that says feed me in the front and thank you in the back and the rest of the students are going to receive food picture cards. In the story, the hungry thing can only say words that rhymes with the name of the food and the townspeople have to figure out what food names rhyme with what the hungry thing wants. For example, the hungry thing might say pilk and the townspeople have to respond with milk.

In this cartoon, the main object of ridicule is that of man, and his inability to do anything. The criticism towards man his laziness is symbolized, not only through the the chains that bind his feet, but the pig that dozes near him. Such animal has been used throughout history to illustrate the ideas of greed, and sloth. Moreover, using such an animal allows the idea that the man, like the pig, does not do anything to contribute to society.
