A dramatic ballad singer studied under a strictteacher who insisted that he rehearse day after
day, month after month the same passage fromthe same song, without being permitted to go anyfurther. Finally, overwhelmed by frustration anddespair, the young man ran off to find anotherprofession. One night, stopping at an inn, he
stumbled upon a recitation contest. Havingnothing to lose, he entered the competition and,of course, sang the one passage that he knew sowell. When he had finished, the sponsor of thecontest highly praised his performance. Despitethe student's embarrassed objections, the sponsor
refused to believe that he had just heard abeginner perform. "Tell me," the sponsor said,"who is your instructor? He must be a greatmaster." The student later became known as thegreat performer Koshiji.

Pollan might want his audience to do?

happening with a new food law passed in 2010
which requires restaurants, with 20 or more
outlets, to provide fast food calorie news forconsumers along with information on how
much a person should consume in one day.

Goodmans phrase references the tasks that we are
forced to do that someone did for us in the past.The do-it-yourself tasks included are pumping your
own gas, scanning your own groceries, using an ATM,
and picking up tickets at an automated site.

increasingly rely on do it yourself strategies include
it saves money be eliminating the overhead associated

DISCUSSESSAYSIWANTAWIFE
General Thoughts...
In this essay, Brady defines wife by delineating thestereotypical male demands in marriage.
Brady makes her point through the use of personal
experience and observation.
The core of Bradys essay consists of seven different
categories of duties that a wife typically performs.
In her essay, Brady seems to be trying to make vivid the
inequality that can or does exist in a conventional
marriage.
A synonym for Bradys concept of the word wife couldbe servant.
SO VERY SEXIST...How about a man who will meet a
woman halfway with all of these defined duties?

General Thoughts...
The problem with green labels is that they only focuson one or two environmental impacts of a product.
Goleman blames the customers for societys ecological
ignorance.
When it comes to the environment, most people think
like adolescents and dont grasp the long-term
consequences for their actions.
The purpose of life-cycle assessment is to determine
the true and full environmental cost of a product.
The authors final message is that citizens need to buygreen products and the government needs to take steps
to change corporations.
Not just definition...defines problem and gives solution...
Very argumentative
