Reading Question #1: "The Most Dangerous Job"

Hello my lovelies! Here is the reading question (careful--it's actually three questions--he he) I hope will spark a wildly insightful discussion about chapter 8 of Fast Food Nation: 

Which of the many anecdotes or statistics that Schlosser offers about the slaughterhouse experience did you find to be the most powerful/effective? Why? What do you think Schlosser is trying to convince you to think, or do, by presenting this evidence and how does it relate to fast food restaurants? 

 To receive full credit for your response, you have until 11:30pm this Saturday, September 13th.  Be specific in your answers. Think athletically. Don't sit down at the starting line and draw in the the dirt. SOAR through the finish line! On your mark, get set, go. 

Ugh, Mister!

Yes, you have a break assignment. But, there's good news: You're going to learn more alarming, compelling stuff about fast food with which you can impress your friends and family. 

The break assignment is basically two tasks: 

• Read Chapters 8, 9, and 10 of Fast Food Nation. 
• Every two weeks, on this site, respond to a question regarding your reading.  

The first question you should answer will cover chapter 8--"The Most Dangerous Job"--and will be issued by me on Tuesday, September 9th. You have until 11:30pm on Saturday, September 13th to provide a response. You may respond to my question directly, or to another classmate's posting. 

Happy Reading!
