Journal on " Coke"

The poem is based and inspired by the love of a son for Coka-Cola. I like how he says: I was proud of the Coca-Cola stitched in red on the pocket of my dad's shirt, just above his heart", to me this means that his dad loved Coca- Cola as much as he did, and that it was close to his heart.The author's dad drives a Coca- Cola truck. This drink goes around in the truck offering it's goodness to the poor and the thristy. People smiles at the sight of this very loved drink. He also relies on his dad work and says that his dad worked all day with the coke cans and that he knew the president and that in the future the drink would be known and live worldwide, that coke would bring world peace because those drinking it couldn't be fighting. The author imagines how he would offer the drink to Jesus and how he would enjoyed. Finally he would fall asleep thinking how the drink would pour over him with all its bubbles and full of america.

Journal on "Remote control: how to raise a media Skeptic"

The author of this essay Susan, confess that television can be uselful. This author thinks that watching television with the kid and explaining to them , what is real and what's lying is useful to them , for future references. For example, she describes how she let her daughter watch television because that gives her sometimes off, for chores and that let her daughter judge what's reliable and what's not. For intense, the pone her daughter sees in the commercial. She thinks that television would give her daughter a cultural literacy, that she could use. I think that the author actually goes over the top to describe the time she spends watching television with her daughter " stupid" like Barbie walks in tiptoes. she says that is good " exposing them to the virus and showing them how to build up a few antibodies",that is good to teach the children about what they see in the television.

Journal on " O.K., So I'm Fat"

Neil Steinberg considers himself not that fat, but that the weight he has is because he eats a lot, not because any glandular disorder. He describes the way he is treated by others like " hey big guy" and says to him this is implying that he needs to loose some weight. For instance , when he went to a friend house and was ask if he wanted something , without him answering he was suggested a diet coke, (" A diet Coke, maybe?"). That he had been told of heroic stories of people that had lost weight, and how this sound inspiring. He admitts that he had less trouble with people that are thin but that don't go on diets and doesn't have to worry for what they eat. He mentiones his wife's friend and how he eats a lot of candy and is supper skinny. Finally , he says that maybe is a thing of fate, and that maybe if he didn't think about his weight he wouldn't be fat. I like this article because I never ecceded the hundred and ten pounds, and I'm one of those persons that eat whatever and don't gain weight, I though it was good to know how others feel of how they are treated to avoid discrimination.
