Blog post #5 Outline

To start out my outline for my final essay , I'm first going to explain my thesis. For this essay i had given a thesis talking about young children and the importance of healthy meals at school.

Thesis: The problem with young kids lacking energy and in school, becoming overweight at a young age and not being motivated could be caused by not eating healthy at lunch and schools not providing healthy options. 

Firstly i am going to explain how the lack of energy in kids is mainly from an unhealthy diet. Based on eating a homemade lunch compared to eating school lunch isn't always considered healthier. Growing up my mom would always make my brother and i lunch to take with us rather than buying school lunch, yet my mom would buy things to put into our lunch that was almost worse then the schools lunch. Chips of course was always a #1 thing my mom would pack us, fruit snacks , chocolate , really anything that was easy enough to make us get through the day. Not always was that the right idea to a "healthy lunch". Another reason why i find this a really important topic is because many kids are becoming overweight and being bullied to do the difference in size of their classmates. I find some of the lack of motivation in this due to the unhealthy lunches in school. To me , this is a huge topic that catches most peoples eyes when bullying starts to be involved. Many kids don't have control over choosing a home lunch or school lunch, and what kid is going to say no to chocolate and ice cream at lunch? I know i sure wouldn't. This is also pointed to the schools fault by not giving the option to healthy food, most of which the schools don't want to pay for or would rather get the cheeper option such as bags of fruit snacks or chips for half the price as a cup of strawberries. To me, this is a huge topic and i can relate to not being motivated when eating school lunches. Many things to write about and hopefully get my point across.

The purpose for my paper for essay #2 was to explain how Amy Tan talks about differences. I chose this topic to write about because i can totally relate to her article ! My family is Italian so most meals are a little different then most ! There are many times where i was embarrassed or ashamed but once i started to get older i began to love that i was Italian ! Being different is a good thing and i think Amy Tan does a very good job with her article explaining how even though the young girl celebrated christmas dinner in a different cultural way, she should be proud of her culture and tradition no matter what.

Fish Cheeks:
A brief little summary of this article includes a young Chinese girl with a crush on an American boy. Embarrassed of what the boy with think of her, the different culture of foods and her family. At first she had been embarrassed but later realized that the opinion of a young boy wouldn't change the fact that she was Chinese and Chinese cultures do things differently then the American culture.

Superman and Me:
This was a short article about a young Indian boy in reservation where his dad was somewhat of a book hoarder. At a young age even when the young boy couldn't read he still wanted to love books as much as his father did. The young boy began to go to school and read boxes constantly. He refused to be known as a failure. He begins to explain towards the end how it was very uncommon for indians to learn to read and how he didn't want to be known as the stereotype of not knowing how to read. He began to fall in love with books just as much as his dad did when he was a young boy.

My favorite place I would love to go has many warm sandy beaches. Its occasionally cool in the winter time but still ranges from 80-85 degrees. Many visitors come to watch the wales, swim with the colorful fishes, and do the hula in grass skirts. Most sit on the warm beaches to watch the vibrant sunsets with drinking cold drinks while absorbing as much sun light as possible. This place is a very bright and happy place. It has many varieties of fruit stands and crazy foods to try as well. As you walk on the beaches feeling the sand between your toes it becomes a relaxation. Shopping malls left and right as well as endless souvenir shops. When you arrive at this location, all your worries and stress begins to disappear.
