Panera Bread Observation Report

This mother is strong believer in domestic knowledge and believes that through this wisdom her daughter will be spared from a life of promiscuity or being, in her words, a "slut". Most importantly, it allows readers to see the detrimental measures of gender roles that are brought upon young girls just coming into womanhood. It is through the understood setting, constructive

Janie thought to herself that the little girl on the milk carton looks like herself. She remembers the white dress that’s on the girl and that she looks exactly like the girl on the carton. She tried telling her friends and none of her friends believed her. So Janie cut the back of the milk carton off and kept the 1-800 number. She kept the number so she could call and ask questions about the little girl missing.

Social status has an influence in her way of thinking because she wants her daughter to be seen as the ideal girl, daughter, and woman. “This is how you smile to someone you don't like too much; this is how you smile to someone you don't like at all; this is how you smile to someone you like completely” (Kincaid). Even at an early age, Girl is taught to act a certain way in order for people around her to like her. Girl is taught to not talk to “wharf-rat boys”, how to set a table when guests are around, how to behave around men, how to eat in front of people, and even how to sweep her yard. These are all examples that represent the importance of how the narrator wants her life to be perceived at, because she cares about what the people in her community think.

Charlotte’s insecurity is a partial result of her mother’s disapproving and unresponsive nature. Unlike Charlotte’s father, who listens attentively and enthusiastically to Charlotte’s day at school, Charlotte’s mother shows no interest. She simply gives a half-hearted comment, “without emphasis of any kind”(71), then changes the subject. Additionally, when Charlotte is distressed over Ms. Hancock's death, her mother gets irritated and blames her for “disturbing the even tenor of [their] home”(80).

In the opening chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird one character introduced who is strikingly interesting is Calpurnia. Calpurnia is considered a mother figure for Jem and Scout; always getting onto them is they misbehave. We observe this when Scout says “she always ordering me out of the kitchen, asking why I couldn't behave as well as Jem.” Calpurnia also respects others no matter their origin or race. This is portrayed after Scout scorned Walter for pouring molasses all over his food.

Terry, who is Cynthia's mother, usually has to order food for her daughter. Terry stated that she is subjected to stares when she goes out to eat with her daughter. Fortunately, when Terry took Cynthia to Chik-fil-A in Fayetteville, it was a positive experience. There was a cashier at the restaurant who knew how to do sign language.

As stated, “always eat your food… turn someone else’s stomach;” and tone is throughout the poem. The instructive lessons that are outlined in the text for example, “how to wash the clothes, how to smile at someone you like, and how to set the table.” Shows that the girl does not know how to do things in the right way or what is pleasing to the mother’s approval. In Girl the mother is trying to teach the daughter manners including how to smile to people even if you do not like that person and how to set the table.

Amy is an example of a typical irresponsible adolescent. To illustrate, she once took money from Margaret to purchase pickled limes for her class, which was a trend at the time. Although she knew that her family was poor and that the teacher had banned pickled limes in class, she got them anyway (Welch, “Amy's Pickled Limes - Little Women”).One day, Theodore, often called Laurie, and Josephine decided to go skating. Amy was outraged that she wasn't invited, so she followed them to the lake without them knowing. Jo and Laurie start skating, he then checks the ice and tells Jo to keep close to the shore, since the ice isn't thick enough in the middle to hold their weight.

As she faced the Palo Verde Unified School District board of trustees, the 9-year-old victim stepped up the mike and shared, “I’ve been getting bullied and pushed around at lunch. These four girls, they make fun of my speech. This has been happening for a long time. I’ve been telling teachers but they wouldn’t do [any]thing.

Taking a few bites of her breakfast, she quickly ran for the bus, unfortunately, her mother stoped her from going any further, “Lisa Michelle Cimorelli, come here now” shrieked her mother. Turning around, Lisa sulked and walked slowly towards her mother. “ Please take care of your sister, remember to show her around the school.” Lisa’s mother reminded her. “Yes, mom” replies Lisa, in a bored tone, as she held Dani’s hand and lead

They sat in the incorrect area because only whites could sit there. Colored people were only allowed to sit in the back of the diner. I was their waitress, and I was a bit nervous; with it being my first day. I ignored them a few times, while thinking

I had the wonderful opportunity to shadow and interview Sunny Chen at Koi Asian Cuisine Restaurant at Cherry Hill Road in Maryland. Chen is a young college student, working part time in her family restaurant. She is an average height person who is always putting a smile behind the cash register near the front door. She was dressed professional with a dark shirt and dress pants preparing for the party reservation that was going to occur later on the day. I asked her, why she was smiling a lot.

Introduction The observation took place in Panera Bread on October 7, 2015. It lasted one hour, and went from 5:15 PM to 6:15 PM. Five adolescents were observed, within the confines of 3 separate social bubbles. My focus was divided between on a group of 3 white females, aged around 18-19, one black male, aged 17-19, and one white white female, aged 12-13.

Berg working with a female client who wishes to lose weight. In the beginning of the video, we see Dr. Berg demonstrating an optimistic view of human nature, rejecting the medical model of pathology, and focusing on the positive as she compliments her client on her ability to accomplish the things she sets her mind to; using her success of working, going back to school, and raising two children as an example to reinforce this. As the conversation continues, the client tells Dr. Berg that she believes that she uses eating as a “way out” and then explains that she finds herself snacking late at night when she is worrying about things. Rather than focusing on the problem of eating when worrying, Dr. Berg begins to assist her client in looking for solutions to her problem by asking her about her prior cigarette and drug use, as well has her accomplishments of ceasing their use. She asked client if it was the “same thing” for her when she smoked cigarettes.

we are constantly being told to weigh less and have less natural curves yet we are all supposed to be Martha Stewart in the kitchen. The author claims that girls as young as 6 are turning up with eating disorders and I have seen firsthand in my son’s kindergarten class just how easily this can develop when young girls tell the other student that they should eat so much or certain foods. Young women are very much so influence by their mothers as she mentioned and setting a good example is vital in that regard. I do not how ever agree that acceptance is vital to dealing with body image issues. I do say it is important to accept the things you cannot change.
