Sitting through the biopic, though, I thought back to the “Scary Lucy” situation with new sympathy. What possessed writer-director Aaron Sorkin-a man who’s openly stated that “I Love Lucy” is “not a show … we’d think was funny” today-to make a film that dramatizes a week of the sitcom’s production is a mystery.

Young, curious, rebellious, stubborn yet so hopeful and strong. There aren't many of them anyways, basically 3. It's pretty short so I guess the focus isn't much on character development, especially not the side characters. The book explores things like identity, sense of belonging, family, sacrifices and choices we make that shape our lives. ![]() But, all jokes aside, painting a vivid picture and pulling you into the novel so you are easily visualising these things is where she thrives.

Schlosser interviews workers in a meat packing plant who relate stories about being dangerously overworked and injured on the job. They also market aggressively to children and sell food that is extremely unhealthy due to its high salt, sugar, fat, and refined starch content. They do this by cutting production costs to the point where meat packing workers are routinely injured and where meat quality is compromised when human blood or other substances get into the ground beef. One of Schlosser's primary arguments is that corporations in the fast food industry put profits ahead of public health. Such thematic material as it contains, which could properly be called a series of arguments, is supported by evidence provided by the author. This book is not a novel or "literary" work so much as a contemporary investigative journalist's account of trends, key incidents, and actual observed conditions in the fast food industry. ![]() ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.Ĭorporate profits being put ahead of public health These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community. ![]() ![]() ![]() All rights reserved. also known as The Ice Woman, and the strange series of events that led to the.
