Buffet: Offers More Than You Think

Breakfast and lunch should be served as a buffet to serve various dietary needs.
At San Pasqual in the cafe, they serve the same food every week. A lot of people don’t like the food that is being serve to them. By setting up breakfast and lunch buffet-style, it gives more options for students to eat what they want. It would also offer them more opportunities to eat healthy.
I think by have a buffet it gives more option for kids to choose from.The food is limited and repetitious every week. But if there is a buffet it gives multiple choices for people who are dieting or who have allergy's.Many people say that it will give kids too many choices and can cause overweight issues. Will if there is a buffet and instead of people making their plates it will be serve to them and there would be a limit to the food you can get.Kids will get the vitamins they need everyday. Also it would help kids eat healthy. Adult always say to eat breakfast so they can concentrate in school and by having different variety of foods it will make kids eat and will be able to concentrate in school.
The build will be serve to kids so they can still eat right and be healthy. By doing this it will keep them safe from health issues. Most food that is serve in the cafe is non vegetarian eater and it is not fair. Some people are allergic to some foods and their only option is to eat salads or something that they are not allergic too. A buffet can give multiple choices for any type of dietary needs. People might say that there isn’t many vegetarians. That can be true but there is a lot of people that have allergies. Kids could be starving during school because they couldn’t eat lunch either because they were allergic or are vegetarian. A buffet could be a very good thing in schools. It can increase kids to learn more if they are eating right and treating them all the same.
Peoples favorite food can change their emotions. If you're having a bad day and lets say that potato's make you happy and when you go to lunch they are serving them and can change your whole day around. Also having different foods can encourage kids to try new foods so they don’t always eat the same thing. Not everyone has favorite food and might not change someones day but kids could try new food maybe they haven’t Eaton before. By trying different foods it can encourage them to maybe one day become a chief.
Lets say you woke up late. You run outside and you see the bus leaving already now you have to walk to school. When you arrive you remember you left your backpack at home. Out of all these things you forgot, you went to sleep late so you”re tired. You're in class and can’t keep your eyes open then its lunch time and you see some fruit salad. You a bowl of fruit salad and the sweet taste of the fruit gives you some boost and you end up finishing the day. Some food can give some energy to kids thers it can help them feel more relax or even calmer.
Foods can or have some power or taste that can make you happy or give you energy.
Having buffets in schools can help more than you think. It satisfies kids’ appetites, classes, or even emotions. Also it treats everyone in school fair by having food for those who have different dietary needs. It also can help kids’ health. By allowing buffet style serving in cafeterias, it will a tremendous difference in students’ happiness and lives.

Thanksgiving Dinner

First-Person Narration from Brian’s Point of View
I had a very good thanksgiving. I went with my mentor to his sister house. When we got there, there was a big wooden door and my mentor open it and there was a water fountain and a fire place. When we enter there was a big flat screen t.v. and I couldn’t believe how big the house was. My mentor introduce me to everyone in his family. I was nervous because I didn’t know anyone it felt weird. After that they offered me something to drink and I said “yes”. When the food was ready we sat and a big table with big chairs like the ones in movies. We prayed and then we ate. I ate two plates and I was done.After that we ate desert. Then I watch the game and then left.
Third-Person Narration Focused on Mike
At the Jammer dinner Mike was taking pictures with Brandon. Marcos was hanging out with Bella. Jammer was walking around being shy. everyone was walking, laughing, and drinking soda. There was a man giving a speech about his live and what he did . Lots of people were interesting of what he was saying. After a while you could notice people were getting bored so he finished talking and then the dance group came out. People were cheering for the dancers. Everyone had a good time people went to sleep in the bus and went to bed late. Some people ate too much and got sick.
Narrator Expository Paragraph
A narrator can influence how much a reader understands how a character is feeling. For example in first person point of view you are the main character and you know the thoughts and feelings about the character. Third person limited point of view is where you know the thoughts and feelings about all the characters, you see what they see. The difference between them are, first person point of view is only one character and that the main one and knows his/her thoughts and feelings. Third person limited is where you know everything about all the characters in the book/movies. The third person limited is more credible because you know what every character thinks and might end up doing. Many readers enjoy reading stories written in first person point of view because it gives them more of a one on one experience with the character and makes them feel like they are in the story. I personally like first person better than third person limited.

Cyberbullying Perspectives

I saw you today bullying Juan ''the target", it wasn't cool to bully him like that Pedro "offender." You shouldn't Juan he didn't do anything to you. Cyberbullying can cause fatal injuries or possibly death. Pedro you should treat people the way you want to be treated. Go apologize to Juan and erase the hurtful things you said about him on the internet.
