In the documentary Food Matters it is about nutrition in the world today. There are about three or four people who are being interviewed on nutrition in the world today. They are all giving information on nutrition how to get it and the importance of super foods and vitamins. These people study nutrition and believe that nutrition is what we need. They all do their research and find that medical drugs are not needed because the body heals itself but it needs the nutrients and vitamins. The nutrients and vitamins are needed to help the body heal on its own. They talk about the food that we eat now a days and how it is grown from soil that does not carry all of the proper nutrients that is needed to grow properly. Some of the doctors that are being interviewed have a very strong opinion on what they believe is wrong with the medical system today. For instance "They need education not medication" this quote was said by one of the nutritionist and it is clear that he believe that the doctors now do not have the proper education they need to help with the human body. Its mentioned that that in order to get what are body needs we should consume 51 percent of every meal raw because once it is cooked it loses its nutrients. One of the doctors stated in this movie that less than 6 percent of doctors study nutrition. Their studies are mainly focused on medical drugs. The purpose of this movie was to both inform and pursude
Today in class we looked at a photo of a family that was poor living in a home that appeared to be very turn up. The purpose of this lesson was to see the different assumptions people made by just looking at one picture. When I first looked at this picture I thought right away that this was a picture taken in another country because of who was in it and the looks of the inside of the house where they stayed. We were asked to write down what we thought about the picture and where it could of been taken at. My first thought was it could of been taken in china or Asia because of the people in the picture they were Asian looking. I couldn't tell whether it was a father and children or a mother. But the photo didn't want us to focus to much on that the big overall picture they wanted us to focus on was the surrounding. The picture was in black in white making the photo appear even more depressing. After the class told their opinions of where the photo took place at the teacher showed us the heading of the photo and it said the words poverty and America in the same sentence. this image affected me so much because I would of never thought that America would have house looking like that with people living in them. I see America as one of the most wealthiest countries and to see this happening to the people that live here really does not sit well with me. Its like America puts on this big front that they take good care of the people that live over here when they really don't its disturbing to see things like this especially in a place that has so much money. The context about this photo is Daily mail article, present day America. The text of this photo is she is poor, love grey scale, single mother. The subtext of this photo is struggle poverty, and violence.
Well i noticed that in my first two drafts i included a lot of things so what i will do is take out some parts that are not that important and i will add parts in that are more import like were my husband left to go. I even did not include telling i have a lot of showing because when i was writing the essay i was a little unclear on what telling and showing was and i thought that what i was doing was wrong. But when the teacher look over my draft he actually told me that i was doing way more showing and no telling at all so with the finally draft i will try to take out some showing parts and add in a few telling scenes just to get to the point fast because with showing you are taking a longer time getting to the point and people will start to get bored of reading because it is taking to long to get the point across.Other than the problems that i just pointed out i believe that my finally draft is going to be good.
