Essay on Refrigerator
Yaritza Perez Ms.Majsak
English 10/15/12

It was almost Thanksgiving Day just two more days left. I couldn’t wait to go over to my mother in laws house, she made the best key –lime pie. It is my favorite dessert; I love the taste of the lime and the whip cream. So I finally arrive and I’m hoping she made the key-lime pie. As I am helping her prep for the big day, I’m glancing over at the refrigerator. I walk over and notice lots of pictures of her two sons, name Chris and Jimmy. The pictures look like it was taken many years ago. One of the pictures had a pyramid behind them, looks like they went on vacation like Mexico or Egypt. I also see a calendar, which tells me she is very organized. I want to see what’s inside but she wants me to wash the sweet potatoes. So I wash them and cut it into pieces. My mother-in law has to go pick up chopped meat from the deli so I am happy now I can see what’s inside. As I am opening the door the first thing I see is cola-cola two litter bottle almost empty. She treats herself but it’s not a good feeling. Soda is bad for your health; it has too much sugar and can give you a heart attack, as well as kidney stones. I see watermelons, sliced pineapples she likes her fruits I see. Half and half milk she drinks coffee or tea.
She cares about her health because she has asparagus and cabbage which provides potent antioxidant. It is also good for the heart and prevents kidney stones. I see lots of sports drinks like Gatorade; she definitely works out or joins a gym. I also see water bottles, which is a good sign because the human body is made of ninety five percent of water, so we need to drink lots of it. My mother-in-law calls me and she is on her way back home. I am checking inside

    Part of the reason is that Sears simply didn't sell as many kit houses in that time period, as the Modern Homes business was still getting off the ground. I think another reason is that houses built from 1908-1913 in the older suburbs tended to be located in areas that were part of of suburban downtown redevelopment efforts and were consequently razed. I've found pre-1913 Sears houses in places like the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago, Des Plaines, Woodstock, and now, Itasca.…

    Pantry Research Paper

    The first memory I have of the Pantry was as a child and I would go up to the attic of the old farm-house on 1063 N. Dugan Rd., Urbana, Ohio. My parents, Harry and Donna Dachenbach, moved from the farm of John Yordy on St. Rt. 36 where my sister was born, to the farm on Dugan Rd. This would have been about 1937 or 38. The house was a very large two-story house with a long attic that was scary for a young boy because it was dark, dusty and filled with junk and trash. There was a pair of broken boards between the two sides of the attic that my sister told me, “If you fall through the break, you will fall all the way to the basement”. Though an absolute falsehood, I sucked it up and always gave a wide berth to the broken boards. There was a large family living on the farm before Mom and Dad moved in, I believe their name was Hess. Back in the late 1800's – early 1900's a family by the name of James owned and lived in the house. The pantry was stored up in the attic against one end and was covered in dust and bird poop. After we got a TV and I got to see “Captain Video and his Video Ranger”, the Pantry became my space ship console (no color TV…

    I have been working for a while in the Nursing Home and I have met patients with different situations. We have been dealing with more Nursing residents but getting to know with Dementia patients is very interesting. I have met Mrs. E which had been discharged from the hospital. She couldn’t communicate properly on what she wants, even her family are having a problem to recognize the things she liked and wants. It was a challenge for us to help her in her daily personal hygiene and especially eating and drinking. When she arrived we tried to comfort her and made comfortable. Her family was very supportive in her care but it’s very hard to predict what she really wants. We checked her weight, as the process of checking if what they need for their nutrition. Mrs. E had been spitting out food at meal times so we have tried to give her sweet drinks to divert her attention with the food. During the past days we have been trying to identify on how to communicate with her through different ways until we tried to hold her hands while eating to keep her calm.…

    In the United States, slavery was permitted for hundreds of years allowing for the slaves and indentured servants to be treated unjustly. The country that was so proud of their freedom was in fact not free for all; those of color or ethnicity were discriminated against. Men, women and even children were treated as property instead of human beings solely because of their heritage. Although slavery in the United States no longer exists there are still effects of this horrific time in today’s society. The Kitchen House is an accurate portrayal of indentured servitude and the brutality inhumane slave conditions pre-civil war. Kathleen Grissom clearly…

    Moreover, Allison throws away the meat loaf, pots pixie sticks and crunch on top of it, getting a very strange sandwich, indicating that the home environment might not be so good or she's stressed out, because people often engage in eating sugary, odd food when there under pressure/stress. Brian had a soup in a thermos and an apple juice for lunch. Not every mother would cook his son a soup and pour it in the thermos, so it wouldn't get cold. Brian's mother was very concerned about her son's studies, so she probably tries to provide a healthy nutrition for him, so he would stay fit, fed and his brain would get a special nutrition.…

    She smiles and says, “You only get married twice!” and I laugh along with her, because at least she is being helpful. Then she brings Mom another dozen dresses to try on, and Mom makes me come into her room with her to get her “out of this thing.” As I am unbuttoning the dress, it strikes me how frail Mom is. She isn’t frail like she’s too skinny. She’s frail in the way where she might be blown to the ground come a heavy wind. When Mom’s finally out of the dress, she tells me to put it on top of the “maybe” pile, but instead I hide it in the middle of the…
