The Deal

I have read all of your responses to the "Consideration" DQ from last week, and many of you brought up some very valid points. Ryan was correct in saying that you all have become better writers since the beginning of the year. Joey, Wyatt and Alex brought up good points regarding the Bob Sander's passes, and Jake made me think about the creativity that goes into the DQ responses. Most of the responses, though, focused on the fact that some DQs are harder than others, and thus harder to write about.

The reason I have you do these DQs is because they make you think....Sometimes the situations exist only in the "what if" realm of reality, sometimes they are just silly, and sometimes they are just so I can see if you're actually reading the question. I don't want them to be easy for you. Below this paragraph, you will see a fake DQ in large, bold letters. If you read all of this, instead of answering the question below, flash Ms. Chetto a peace sign before the end of the day and you will receive full credit for today's question. If they were easy and required no thought, there would be no point to doing them at all. I do, however, believe in rewarding people for hard work, and most of you have worked pretty hard in English this year. So, I have come to a decision. I will lower the word requirement for the DQs down to 100 words. However, there will be no more Bob Sanders passes, and if I start to see the quality of work slipping, the requirement will be brought up again.

What is your favorite meal? Using 100 words, describe it in detail, including what it looks like, smells like, and tastes like.

  2. My favorite meal of all time is spaghetti i mean its just so delicious. The reason why i love spaghetti is because of the ingredients if you have good sauce and noodles and hamburger its really good I love venison cooked in the spaghetti with wholewheat noodles and homemade spaghetti sauce, Ms.Dash cant tell you what kind its a secret, Mushrooms, and some Parmesan cheese. Spaghetti can be eaten in differnt ways i mean i just slap some noodles and dump some sauce and put hamburger then the mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. and then i just eat it. Well i think its best that way but other people may think just mixing it all together is better.

  4. I love taco's with chips and salsa and some times guacamole. This is so good and it good with milk. This is really good. I like it with cookies after I eat the tacos. Taco's are from Mexico and they eat them a lot. The best meal is taco's because it is really fun to eat. You can eat it with a lot of things. Taco's make me happy. Taco's make me proud. Taco's make me silly. Taco's are really good. If you had never had taco's then go to taco bell and get some and come to my house and give me some.

  6. Bacon. When it comes in the package you think yum. when it comes of the package it instantly makes you want to plop it in the microwave. when it is in the microwave all you can think about is for that last 30 seconds to end. When the microwave beeper goes off you move as fast as you can to pull it out so you can smell that bacon smell and taste that bacon taste. Smelling and tasting bacon is like Christmas in July. Not having to worry about being to hot or to cold.

  8. Well my favorite food is right now french fries I mean this is not my favorite food because it can vary on the day or my mood. But today I am really in the mood for french fries ohhh the really greasy salty ones they have at McDonald's the ones that are heart attacks in a bag ohhh yes those are the best. Wow just thinking of the amazing smell of salt grease and potatoes which are all in fries are making me hungry. But tomorrow my favorite food will most likely be grilled cheese and tomatoes soup that is usually what I desire most Tuesdays.

  9. Ahhhh well first of all I just lost all of my two paragraphs. Guess I will restart. Well I am not understanding this. Ms Chetto states that the DQ is fake, and that f we read the whole thing show her a peace sign. Well, I do not do the DQ until after school. Ms. Chetto explains that if you show her the peace sign you get full credit. Well, do I do the food DQ? It's fake, but I did not give Ms. Chetto the peace sign! Well I guess I will do the food question to be safe. I did read the whole thing, but not in time to give Ms. Chetto the peace sign.

    I am like Alex with this one. I really have different favorite foods every day. Sometimes I feel like one food, and the next day I feel like a different food. All the foods I dislike still stay with me disliking them though. Right now I feel like dessert because it is just about dessert time. Anyways dinner wise I feel like having a hotdog. Why? I do not know. I just randomly feel like having it. I also feel like having some pretzels, but tomorrow I might feel like something else. Some of the foods I like for supper quite a lot are macaroni and cheese, burgers, chips, etc. Anyways I do not really have an all time favorite food.

  10. Ok I got it would be pizza. It looks so good when it is there in front of you. But there are some pizzas that just look very bad. Whether it is from the way they put the toppings on or the way it is cooked. Most Pizza s smells so good and if you put different things on they will smell different. Well it looks good most of the time and with all the stuff on there it makes it look even better. Some times the pizza is burnt or just over cooked. Then when you bite in to it you just get this burnt taste in your mouth and it runes the pizza .
