...passage begins with “Steep, narrow stairs, walled with an alarming pink mosaic of glistening tonsil-like nodules” and ending with “Laney clicked through a series of images: abstract geometrics arranged in vanishing linear perspective”. First I will describe the constituent elements and the overall structure of the selected passage, not the entire essay. Then I will transition into a section about the relations that the constituent elements have to the other elements in the passage. Lastly I will discuss the different possibilities of meaning shaped by the structure. I will show the different structures, examine how they relate to each other and what that could possibly mean. I examined the passage in Chapter 21 where Laney is entering the chewing gum bar named “Le Chicle”. The main textual ideas include the combination of cultures, the importance of geometric shapes, and the lack of human attribute descriptions. It start on page 191 with the line “Steep, narrow stairs, walled with an alarming pink mosaic of glistening tonsil-like nodules.” The passage I examined ends with the quote on page 192, “Laney clicked through a series of images: abstract geometrics arranged in vanishing linear perspective.” Immediately prior to this section Laney and McCrae passed by a man in a hazmat suit while standing on stilts. They recognize that he is a member of the group known as “New Logic” the group believes that the world will end when the human race hits a specific weight overall of the planet....

Given the large population (four times that of the US1) and the comparatively low consumption numbers (10-15 servings per person annually versus 90-100), growth in China showed the greatest potential for further success. Wrigley gave their Chinese consumers a reason to chew by recognising cultural facets (traditional Chinese flavours and medicines) and trends in health benefits (obesity and oral health), and then innovatively developed product lines in ways which would appeal to a wide variety of segments. Going forward from 2008, the decision to join forces with Mars, further reiterated the importance Wrigley’s placed on product innovation and the potential that Mars global president Paul Michaels must have recognised...

In Asia market, it produces wide range of confectionery products such as chewing gum, hard and chewing candy, and lollipops. If we look at market segmentation in China, there are around 28%, 24.4%, and 61.1% of high- class, middle- class, and low- class respectively. Wrigley’s penetrates Chinese local market by segmenting its market carefully. As the picture shown below, Wrigley runs 39% of whole gum market share in 2006. Due to rising Chinese middle class in recent years, Wrigley planned to launch a new set of confectionary products, both gum and non-gum products, to meet emerging new market. Having seen this development, Product innovation plays a critical role to maintain its leading market position in the industry. Resources: Chicago business.com, (http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20080331/NEWS07/200028762/wrigleys-newest-taste-wolfberry) To sustain consumer’s choice of its products, Wrigley continues to innovate new products not only to maintain its already-segmented market but also to attract new emerging Chinese market.

...According to researchers Gum is able to make your mental performance better (1). When you chew gum while taking tests and someone is watching you it helps you make you stay focused longer. In previous research chewing gum helps in some areas of cognition. In another study participants who chewed gum had quicker reaction times and also better test results. In the same study participants who didn’t chew gum did better in the beginning but had worse results in the end (2).

At St. Lawrence University 159 students were given cognitive test like saying random things and numbers backwards,...

To achieve a good education, one should attend both high school and college. Although some people think high school has a lot in common with college, I find them to be very different. After graduating from high school I enrolled into college and noticed that there are many differences between them. A few of these differences include the attitude and responsibilities of the teachers and students and the amount of work given to the students. To begin with, there are many ways in which the attitudes of the teachers in high school differ from the attitudes of the teachers in college. In high school my teachers seemed to be stricter and have more rules for the students to follow. The teachers were also responsible for making sure each student obeyed these rules to the fullest extent and carried out disciplinary actions for those who did not obey them. One example in which a teacher has taken on a disciplinary action was when a student was tardy or skipped their scheduled class; the student usually received detention along with an “F” for the day in the class the skipped or was tardy too. Although attendance is also required in college and many enforce...

...Chomp. Gum chewing has been inside classrooms forever. It is one of the most poorly listened to school rules, so why even have it? It can be said that gum chewing causes distractions and has no benefits, while others say it actually helps and makes kids more concentrated. Gum chewing should be allowed in Orange Avenue School because it stimulates brain activity, improves dental health, and makes kids less prone to take part in other distracting activities. First, gum chewing should be allowed in OAS because it stimulates brain activity. It might seem that chewing gum distracts others. But, actually gum chewing improves student academic performance.In Daniel C.’s article, he references a 2009 Wrigley gum company study that found that “gum chewers in the eighth grade had a 3 percent increase in their standardized math scores”(1). When students chew...

...“POP!” Her gum popped in her mouth. The mint flavor was her favorite and now she could chew gum in class. No teachers pestering her over gum anymore. At least thats what would happen if she could chew gum in class. But she couldn’t, and that’s where I come in as principal. Allowing her to chew it when ever she wanted; all the kids chew it anyway so instead of having the teacher waste time yelling at every kid in the classroom, and wasting time everyone could chew it! By having teachers yell at kids for doing this, it takes away class time that is beneficial for kids to know. Envisage if kids had their own dorms in the school. Good idea, right? By having dorms in the school that could let kids go back to their dorm if they forgot a book,...

...single piece of gum can help you with the simplest things like stress, behavior, and appetite control? Well it can. Many people say they did better on a test when they chewed gum, than not chewing gum. It can do a lot more than that. Let me tell you about it. Surprisingly gum relieves stress. In a study from Baylor College, people who chewed gum got a 3% higher test score than kids who didn’t. Who knew a single piece of gum could relieve stress and increase academic scores.

Now a day’s kid are always getting in trouble and doing bad things. But did you know that gum can help bad behavior? A study from Baylor college shows that kids who chewed gum got in less trouble than kids who didn’t. They also wore nicer clothes and were nicer to little kids. They said that the flavor and how long it lasted got them to cut back on doing bad things. They would also compare who liked what flavor better. Incredibly, there is one more way that gum can help kids. It can control your appetite so you eat less. More than 8% of the world is obese. If chewing a single piece of gum can help that why not bring it to homes, schools, and other outside programs. It means healthier people in this world by doing simple thing as chew a piece of gum.
