...food chain of four meals back to their sources, including a McDonald’s lunch and a dinner of supposedly wholesome items from Whole Foods market. She finds Pollan to be a good writer and thorough researcher, not a “preachy” activist. Her brief review is positive, which is why Pollan probably has it posted on his website. This would be a useful source if contrasted against a more critical evaluation of Pollan’s work. Pollan, M. (2002). The botany of desire: A plant’s-eye view of the world. New York: Random House. Pollan outlines the history of four crops-- apples, tulips, marijuana and potatoes. He discusses how humans have influenced their evolution and how crops have influenced our cultures. He recounts real stories, rather than myths, about such characters as “Johnny Appleseed,” an eccentric loner who helped colonize various apple crops across a new America. As a result, we do not have as many varieties of apples as once existed, and the ones we have are less resistant to pests. Pollan, Michael. (2008). In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto. New York: The Penguin Press. ISBN 978-1-59420-145-5 Pollan’s book can be summed up in his introductory statement: “Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.” Pollan explores the roots of the current American food system and details how government regulation of the food industry has been affected by pressure from agriculture interest groups and corporations. Agencies intended to protect consumers now protect producers. ...

...legend in his time. Who was this man? A barefoot tree-hugger who helped shape the American forefront? Johnny Appleseed has risen to be one of the great legends of American history. His love of apple trees was a key factor in early American horticulture. Unlike some past heroes such as Paul Bunyan who were merely mythical, Johnny Appleseed was based on a real person and actual facts. However, not all is true. From The Core of Johnny Appleseed, Ray Silverman (2012) writes, “when a man has been gone from the world for over 160 years the facts and fictions can get mixed together as people tell and retell the stories about him” (p. x). This article will delve deep into the history of John Chapman to separate fact from fiction from...

...2/14/12 Critic #1 Johnny Appleseed Johnny Appleseed is a play for children and not only was every child in the audience entertained, but so was I. The acting of the play was very well done to keep the children engaged. The stage it was performed on was fairly large and the director was sure to make good use of the entire space. The stage was used resourcefully with all of the scenery and props that were used for the play. If a mood in the play changed, so did the lighting to enhance the effect it gave people. From the lighting I could tell when it was day or evening, or when the Mr. Feelgood and his sister (the bad guys) were up to something. My overall experience of the play was good; I really enjoyed it, and especially how the actors interacted with the audience. I thought all the actors in the play were believable. They’re costumes fit their character of people from an ordinary, olden day small town. Johnny Appleseed and Mr. Feelgood were my two favorites, because they really applied themselves to their part and I just enjoyed the whole good guy bad guy rivalry. I noticed how later in the play when Johnny Appleseed had grown to be old, Jared Wagner, the actor, held his back with his hand to show that he had aged. The performers interacted very well together, I noticed in particular when every time Johnny would return to the field and Josh would meet him, they played the game with the kids in the audience whether or not someone was behind Johnny or not. The way they...

...Long Live Jack Sparrow My favorite actor is Johnny Depp. Personally, I haven’t watched too many of his movies but I’ve watched enough to know what an astonishing actor he is. From playing a man with scissors instead of hands, to being a rowdy pirate, to owning a chocolate factory, I believe he’s one of the greatest actors in filmmaking history. The best character he ever portray in a movie in my opinion is Jack Sparrow form the pirates of Caribbean’s. What is it exactly that makes Jack Sparrow so intriguing? For starters it’s Sparrow’s flamboyance and playfulness that made him so popular. Also it helps Johnny Depp's acting skills charmed me. One thing for sure Jack Sparrow is one of the most popular and beloved fictional characters in years. Kids’ love him, adults find him funny, women, well, let’s say he probably doesn’t go unnoticed even if it is quite clear, I think, that he is not the biggest fan of taking a shower every day! He is surely a charmer and most of all a persona that you simply can’t forget just as easily. Jack Sparrow might not be as family-friendly as Indiana Jones was and definitely not as politically correct and as fearless as a guy like Superman. Jack Sparrow is simply a larger than life charmer even in his most wicked moment and he has quite a few of them during his adventures while treasure hunting on the mythical sea. Jack Sparrow was a legendary pirate of the Seven Seas, and the irreverent trickster of the Caribbean. A captain...

...Out of Africa is a good example of great cinematography. The story is somewhat of a love story. Personally, I found the story line to be okay at best. But, I always get captivated at the filming. The entire movie was shot on location in Kenya; and while more difficult to do it paid off in this movie. You get so caught up in looking at the scenery, that the slow advancement of the plot can be tolerated. There is a great scene where Robert Redford and Meryl Streep are out and there is a lion looking their way. He tells her not to worry because he will protect her. The next second, a lion heads their way, and she has one chance to shoot. Of course, she doesn’t miss. But the way this scene is filmed, you feel like you are there; you can see how you feel safe, and all at once, it changes. The movie also makes good use of three-dimensional arrangement of people. There are many scenes where there are several people in one scene. But, the way they are arranged makes it easy to look at and get a good sense of what Africa feels like. I would also mention that the costumes help to have a realistic feel of Africa. Meryl is in chinos and light-weighted cotton tops most of the time. This movie could be turned into a Banana Republic advertisement; and, that is exactly the feel costumes should have for a movie. 007 Casino Royale was a good continuation of the Bond series.

...allowed music to travel vast distances and have an enormous audience, which was never before possible. This allowed for single artists, like Jimmie Rogers and Bill Monroe, to become well known and produce iconic tracks that would be recorded as the traditional music of America. The lyrics that were used during this early America by these European migrating immigrants where about stories of freedom, life, and a search for identity. This became a significant part of the culture of the developing American people, who used this new form of media to identify themselves (historically and culturally). Since then, Anglo-American folk music has been identified as a strong source of inspiration from well known artists throughout history, such as Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, and Hank Williams, just to name a few ("Introduction to Anglo-American Folk Music”). Today, though international country singers, traditional Anglo-American folk music can be...

...“Don’t go in there” the little girl said in a quiet voice. I looked at her & asked, “Well why stay out here? I’m just going to see the show…” She stopped me as I was finishing my sentence “It’s not just an ordinary freak show, you’re going to die! He’s here and you’re never going to survive him, he’s more powerful than anyone alive. Once you die here you can never leave! Your spirit gets trapped!” I tried to ask her who “he” was but she disappeared. It must have been part of the act. My friend and I drove up from Georgia to Tennessee just see the biggest freak show in the USA. We walked up to the ticket box and asked for two tickets. As we were walking into the arena I saw the little girl again, but this time she was yelling at a couple to leave. I started to walk to her, she turned, looked at me, and disappeared again. Charlie & I found our seats after about a half hour of searching. We have front row seats, right in front of all the action. As we sat down we realized everyone had popcorn, cotton candy, & soda so I told Charlie that I would go get us our snacks while she saves our seats. As I was walking there were “freaks” everywhere doing tricks for little kids & their parents. I got so caught up in all the tricks I didn't have much time left to get us snacks, so I rushed to the concessions grabbed our snacks & rushed back to our seats. I gave the snacks to Charlie so I could take my seat. As I sat down the show began. There were clowns walking through...

...Cinema Review: Director Tim Burton Tim Burton is one of the most unique visionary directors in Hollywood, defining a new genre of film with his twisted imagination. Besides the similarity of having been made by the same director, there are also many other similarities between his films. For example, his film style is able to be seen clearly throughout the films, Edward Scissorhands (1991), Corpse Bride (2005) and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007). All three of these movies showing Burton’s easily identifiable film style. The characteristics that are similar across these films are the flashbacks, the actors and actresses, the characters, the use of costume, makeup and lighting. Similarities can also be seen through the themes and genres including, German Expression and fantasy. Burton incorporates characters in his films that no one would encounter in real life, such as you would never find a ghost who wants to marry a human in real life or someone who is able to chop hedges with his scissorhands. His films are characteristically quirky and unusual, however somehow making it relatable and identifiable which make them so popular with the audience. One style that Tim Burton’s films are strongly influenced is the German Expressionism codes and conventions. This foreign film style is an artistic genre that originated in Europe in the 1920s and is broadly defined as the rejection of Western conventions (Darsa, 2013). The artist’s impression of reality...

...Vanna White v. Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (1992) United States Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit Background: The Plaintiff is Vanna White, a popular game hostess of the famous TV show “Wheel of Fortune” and has gained popularity by marketing her image to various advertisers. White brings suit against Samsung for an advertisement for Samsung VCRs (videocassette recorders) where the ad depicted a robot, dressed in a wig, gown, and jewelry that resembled her hair and dress. The robot posed next to a game board that closely resembled the Wheel of Fortune game show set, in a stance that imitates her signature pose on the game show. Samsung has also acknowledged that the ad is known as the “Vanna White” ad. White claims infringement of several individual property rights (right to privacy, under Section 3344 of the California Civil Code*, right of publicity, and trademark infringement), claiming she did not consent to the ads and was not paid for it. But the district court granted summary judgment against White. White appeals.
