Blog # 5

In order to achieve what you want in life you have to work hard for it. In his book " The Omnivore's Dilemma", Pollan maintains that " man have become the tools of their tools." (55-56) In order to achieve one thing you have to take it step by step and day by day. If you want a new home, you have to work towards it . I will like to be a nurse one day but I just can't wake up one day and said that am a nurse. I have to go to school and get a education first. Pollan also maintains that "In a shed across the way I noticed the shiny chrome prow of a tractor trailer poking out and asked Billy about it, He explained he'd had to take on long-distance hauling work to keep the farm afloat. " Have to drive the big rig to pay for all my farm toys," he chuckled." (55).In the book Naylor told Pollan that "" He's (Billy) got all the latest toys: the twelve-row planter, Roundup Ready seed, the John Deere combine."" (55), You can't judge a book by its cover. Will I was reading the farm, I ave relate a lot of it to my life in Jamaica. Will in living in Jamaica, we have our own farm and we have acres of land and our neighbors will think that we are rich but they don't know how hard we have to work for what we have. And my family is just like Billy in the book.
Some of the pressures men face about the body image are that their belly getting too big or their are embrace to walk with their wife. But often we think that men don't face pressures concerning their diet and body image. WE think only face it.

  1. I reckon I disagree a little bit with your interpretation of the quote. I was thinking about how corn has become a tool that now controls how people farm. People become tools of their tools--have to work to make them grow properly with fertilizer otherwise they'll the corn and possibly even the peopler won't be around anymore. Know what I mean?
