Personal Narrative: My Five Burritos

158 Words1 Page

"Can I have my five burritos and ten sandwiches now please?!" I beg the guys in the food truck. "No," they say. That 's all they say. Don 't they know I 'm starving over here?! "WHAT?! I WORKED SO HARD, OKAY?! GIVE ME THE FOOD!" I yell. People all around me are turning their heads, or even just walking away, but I don 't care. "Don 't you work at the burger restaurant across the street?" they say. I really hate these guys! "I DON 'T WANT A BURGER EVERY DAY! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT?!" "Look, ma 'am, I need you to go to the back of the line now. People are waiting. You can take this salad if you would like." They hand me a sad excuse of a salad. "Don 't think that this is over. I 'll be back for my burritos and sandwiches." I walk away

  • Essay About Being Mexican American

    322 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am not white, but I am not Mexican either. I am, however, a first generation Mexican American with parents from San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Perhaps I do not know what it is like to cross the border that refrains me from being Mexican, or the color of my skin that refrains me from being white, but my own personal experiences make me the Mexican American that I am today. Growing up I celebrated the Fourth of July with fireworks, and the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe with matlachines.

  • Personal Narrative: Pico De Gallo

    1177 Words  | 5 Pages

    Growing up in a Mexican household, the food we ate always had a spice to it. Whether the spice was on the side or already prepared in the food, my food always had a spice to it. My grandma’s favorite signature spice was her Pico De Gallo. Pico de Gallo also called salsa Fresca, is made from chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, fresh Serrano’s (jalapeños or habaneros are used as alternatives), salt, and key lime juice. At first I did not like Pico de Gallo because I couldn’t bear how spicy it was.

  • Learning To Serve Tony Mirabbelli Analysis

    180 Words  | 1 Pages

    In “Learning to Serve: The Language and Literacy of Food Service Workers”, Tony Mirabelli presents the genre of communication used by waiters and waitresses as one which requires more skill than is usually assumed. Through the use of internet sources such as “hate mail” directed at websites, Mirabelli shows us that people who think the job of a food service worker is easy are quite common. He shows us the assumptions people tend to make through many examples such as economists who suggest that food service workers lack education needed to be considered “knowledge workers” and do mindless, routine tasks that anyone can do. Through examples of food service workers, including himself, Mirabelli contends that waiters, though in some cases uneducated,

    In “Don’t Blame the Eater,” David Zinczenko explains that the only affordable meal choice for an American teenager is fast food. Zinczenko recognizes that families consume these food sources because of the numerous McDonald’s restaurants and the lack of grocery stores in the area.
