Compare and Contrast essay: Snickers vs. Three Musketeers

Chocolate Indulgence - Hershey Base and Candy Bar Bouquet - Candy & (Google Affiliate Ad)  A discussion of Snickers vs Three Musketeers is necessary because they are very popular candy bars, with very different qualities.

  While Snickers and Three Musketeers are both very popular candy bars, there are several major differences between them in terms of taste and components.

  A main difference between them is their taste. This is significant because everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and in this case it is the opinion of a superior taste. Furthermore, I think the light, airy texture of a Three Musketeers is superior to the heavy, over-bearing richness of a Snickers. This is important because many consumers may prefer the lightness and connect it to less calories, making it a "better" choice between the two. In reality, it could have just as many calories if not more. Additionally, Snickers' commercials about combating hunger with a Snickers most likely will attract a younger, 13-25 age group in men, much like Carl's Jr.'s does with their seductive ads. The impact of this is that it shows the two main targeted groups that will buy their product, allowing them to coax even more people to buy their product, because they know what qualities it has, and who's going to be buying them.

The future, and its possible regrets

  In 4 years from now, we will be faced with another election. New candidates, new policies, new voters. We will reach a day where we will have to look upon this month, and question ourselves about the election. Will we have regrets? Will we be thankful that Mitt Romney didn't win? Or will we loathe the fact that we let Obama have two terms? As for me, I am entirely unsure. I didn't like Mitt Romney very much, and I guess I dislike Obama less because if I could have voted it would have been for him. Personally I just think Mitt Romney is the Anti-Christ. Ha, no, but really, he's a terrible person. I'm not really sure what Obama can do for us, but I know he's far more open-minded than Mitt Romney. Either way, I just hope Obama can get our economy back on track. I understand it was pretty messed up when he came into office, and he just needs more time to sort things out. But if he doesn't accomplish anything, I doubt we'll see him as a great president in 4 years.

Thanksgiving..

Well it was good for the most part. But, I was looking forward to getting a car. This has, unfortunately, been completely halted. Why, you may ask? Well, I was driving my uncle's golf cart around his property. Everything was fine, except the brakes didn't work when I wanted them to. When did I realize this? When I was going head on towards a tree. The only damage was a scratched up plexiglass windshield. But hey, I gotta call yesterday. Guess who's piece of shit old golf cart won't start up now? ANd hey, guess who has to replace the motor on in with their car money? Me. Pretty neat, right? yeah. So, $500 (most likely) down the drain so I can replace shit that hardly worked in the first place. Needless to say, I'm pretty annoyed. I probably won't be able to get a car until like February or maybe even summer or who knows when. It just. Ugh. It's horseshit. But oh well.

O Christmas Tree VS Little Drummer boy; Christmas Vacation VS Polar Express

For the first two..I don't even know. I don't think I've ever heard O Christmas tree entirely, and as for Little Drummer Boy, again I'm not sure. Probably between the two, if I had to say which one I think would win, I would choose O Christmas Tree because it's more know. Christmas Vacation is a given winner vs Polar Express because everyone knows and loves Christmas Vacation. I mean, Polar Express doesn't get you out of school for 2 weeks, right? And it certainly doesn't allow you to have snowball fights, and hot cocoa, and home made fudge, and all that jazz that Christmas vacation has to offer. I also think Christmas Vacation will win over most, if not all.

My holiday traditions

  I celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then later on I'll celebrate Easter as well. As you can tell from those last two statements, I'm Christian. Or, can you really tell from that? Because anymore, people who are atheist seem to think CHRISTmas has nothing to do with CHRISTianity. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but, just because you feel left out because it's a holiday, doesn't mean you should celebrate something against your beliefs. Hey, why don't I just go off and celebrate Chanukah too? I mean, 8 days of presents right? No. It's really fucking annoying to see a bunch of people celebrating a holiday that doesn't belong to them, especially when they're entirely against the very core idea of that holiday. Again, that'd be like me celebrating Kwanza. Do I have black heritage? Nope. But hey, free shit, right? Why not. Anyway.. Around this time of year, as a family, we usually watch like Charlie Brown, and other things like that. We don't listen to like Christmas music and stuff though; we're not a 50's white family. Like any other family, we eat turkey, and stuffing, and green bean casserole, and sweet potatoes, and ham, and all that delicious stuff. We usually have more than a few days of Christmas, just so we can take time to go to both grandparents and aunts and uncles and family of the such. Not to abruptly stop this or anything, but I've nothing more to say on this subject. And with that, goodbye.

Revision 1 of Narrative Assignment

Narrative Assignment

By:Charles Timpy

    My grandma Dorothy is one of the oldest people I know, and also one of the most interesting in terms of what events she’s lived through. The Great Depression. WWII. The Vietnam War. So many experiences, so little time. That’s why I decided to interview her for my Narrative essay.

    My grandma was born in 1930 in Fairview Oklahoma. During the first few years of her childhood, she and her brothers lived in a small house, in the countryside of Oklahoma. When she was around 5 years old, she and her family moved to Union, Oregon. It was a quiet, small community at the time, with few people, and far in between neighbors’ houses. As there weren’t people close enough for a young girl as herself to socialize with, she spent most of her time taking care of her siblings, and learning to cook and clean. The move to Union sort of changed that, because people lived closer together, and she was within walking distance of kids her age. Though it took about 2 weeks, it was worth it. Growing up in The Great Depression didn’t affect her, though, as she was born into it. It had always been the normal way of life for her, and she didn’t know she was poor because so was everyone else, and as there was nothing to compare and contrast it to, she really couldn’t complain.

    In high school, during her freshman year at Union High School, she met my grandpa, who was a junior. They locked eyes across the room at an assembly, and after school, he walked her home. From there it lead to my aunt being born when my grandma was just 16, then my uncle at 18, and lastly, my dad at 30. By the time my dad was born, my grandparents were divorced. Shortly after, my grandma and dad moved to California. But, during high school, and even to this day, she set out to be a journalist. And that’s exactly what she has been for the past 60 years or so. Outside of career thoughts, though, she never really thought about the future, and always tried to live each day to its fullest.

    I’ll never forget the last piece of advice she gave me, though. “You should never regret anything in life. Or you’ll have to live with those actions until you die; and so on from there. My grandma, Dorothy TImpy, age 80, is a very wise, and very experienced person. And that is why I chose her for my Narrative assignment.

"Shame" VS "The Daughter of Invention"

  Let's just put an overview of both stories here: "Shame" is about a black child who learns shame through not having a father, and being on state assistance. "Daughter of Invention" is about a family who moved from a communist country to America, still adapting to their freedom. In the story the girl has to write a speech and announce it at her school. She finishes her speech and her father gets angered at her and essentially makes her feel terrible for writing a speech that would have gotten her in trouble in her old country, but not in America.

  Now that we've gotten that, lets take a moment to analyze what they have in common:

1. In both stories, they are taught humiliation of their ways
2. They are both outcasts in the social pyramid
3. Both experiences caused them to look at life in a different point of view
4. They both take place in the mid 1900's

Snickers vs Three Musketeers

  Personally, I think that Three Musketeers is superior to Snickers. My main reasoning behind this is that Snickers are just too sweet. You get through half of one and it's too rich to finish off. Three Musketeers, however, is a more refined balance of sweet. I could easily eat more because it's not nearly as rich or as heavy as a Snickers. I think this s due to the whipped marshmallow insides of it. And even better, you can get a dark chocolate one, making it even more bearable. Now, I know not everyone likes dark chocolate, but still, it's a good concept. Snickers, however, are very overbearing with their sweetness. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them, but I don't recall a time I've eaten a Snickers and not gotten a stomach ache from how rich it was.

  To conclude this short segment, I'd like to mention that both Snickers and Three Musketeers are fairly good products, but if you have a more refined pallet, if you don't simply go about vacuuming up any crap that's edible, then the Three Musketeers is the right choice for you; between these two candy bars, that is.
