ESSAY 2 Disagreeing

In the chapter junk food heaven, by Bill Bryson, he talks about how how there is countless varieties of everything, from cereals to candy bars, and even breakfast items. And he says that americans have one the highest rates for obecity, averaging 17.8 pounds of pretzels per year. Now I disagree with Bill bryson just a bit. I agree that there's countless sugary and fatty foods every where, and countless commercials advertising everything from cereals, to the latest ice cream toppings, but it is all about will power. His wife who is also in the store, would buy healthy stuff cheese and celery. To me it is all about will power. The temptation is there but there are other choices.

DISAGREEING WITH BRYSON

In the chapter "Junk-food Heaven" the autor Bil Bryson talks about how to many people like to go to groccery. he says that there are many people that likes to buy to much junk food. he talks about how junk food is not that great and is not healty. Although he is kind of correct, i would say that junk food is sometimes good to eat but not all the time. Junk food is also good when you going to movies or going other places that is fun with your friends. It is also good if someone is mad you espically if it a girl.

I don't agree with how Bryson think that every little things in life is difficult. Bryson complaint about how he get lost and end up somewhere else. Also when he can't remember his hotel room number. I think that there are was to not make all those mistake that he does by like writing his room number down. Bryson can also try to remenber where he has walk of sort life may be hard it depends on how u do things.

Intro

In this chapter, Rule Number 1: Follow All Rules by Bill Bryson, he talks about how in America there are too many rules and that he believes that they are unreasonable or not necessary. Really? I disagree. Without rules what would the world be? A bunch of wrecked cars and blown up planes. This entire chapter talks about how he was going different places and reading all the different rules, as throughout the whole chapter he is at the airport and he did not have proper photo ID. He again believes this is unnecessary because he has a book printed with his name and photo on it and this should be adequate photo ID to get on a plane. Throughout this he is arguing that rules are too strict and that there are too many, but in reality without these rules all of society could, and will fall apart. This is a complicated argument, but I am able to show that as a whole we need them and that it is the key to societies success.

Hi, My name is Ayan Ahmed. I choose to write What's cooking? And I disagree because going to a restaurant is generally fun for a lot of peaple. For example, when we are going to the movies we also go out to eat from the restaurant. In America a lot of peaple don't cook for their houses not because they can not cook it's no time for them to cook. Also a lot of peaple are single and they nevey even try to cook their homes. They are eating from the restaurant. plus the waiting list when we order a food, somethimes it takes forever. It's fine because we get use to it.

Intro

Although I agree with Bryson about how people in the United States don't walk enough, he unfortunately didn't take into account the fact that people today just simply can't walk everywhere they go. The chapter "Why No One Walks" is about how people here in the U.S. don't walk enough. One of his main points he concludes with in the essay is that we not only don't walk anywhere in this country, but we won't walk anywhere in this country. I believe that this is a true statement in some cases, but the problem is that it's hard to walk to places today. You used to be able to walk down the street to buy your groceries, but now it's almost impossible to find a shop within walking distance of a house especially if you live in the suburbs, where a majority of people still do.

The Waste Generation

In the article "Wasteland Generation", Bill Bryson states that Americans as a whole are wasteful. Bryson states that,"With just 5 percent of the world's population,we consume 20 percent of its resources." Bryson throws out other points as well such as we leave our computers on all night. Bryson brings up the conventions that were held in the early 1990's to fix the global warming problem. Bryson brings up numerous negative aspects of Americans such as leaving the light on in our rooms, and the leaving our car engines running outside when we arrive at at friends house. Although some of these points were valid when Bryson made these claims they aren't all entirely true. We as Americans have limited the amount of waste we create in the last tens years.

Why I disagree with Bill Bryson

In the chapter “Friendly People” in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself by Bill Bryson, the author describes the experiences of his family in New Hampshire where they moved from England. He writes about many examples of how friendly the people of New Hampshire are and how safe the community is. For example, their neighbors invited them to dinner the first night after their arrival. An example of the safeness of the community is the habit of not locking bikes, cars or homes. Although Bryson may be telling the truth about New Hampshire, he begins the chapter by praising the friendliness of the people of the United States. I have not lived in New Hampshire, but I have lived in Syracuse, New York and Columbus, Ohio and I know that these places are not as friendly as New Hampshire as described by Bryson.
