Lunches in US high schools are lacking adequate nutritional value. The menus have become increasingly varied over the past two d

ecades, and they are varied to a fault. Now high school students can choose between healthy main dishes and "junk food" items offered à la carte on the school menu. Milkshakes and fries are often the lunch of choice for America’s youth. Fourteen-year-old Alira Sanson from Grand Rapids, Michigan, admits, "I love my high school's menu. It is much better than middle school food. I eat a giant chocolate chip cookie and a bag of chips for lunch every day—because I can." The middle school menu Alira refers to is the government-regulated hot lunch mandated in elementary and middle schools across the nation. Lunches at the high school level are often under site-based management, and food service officials are under pressure to provide food that sells. This pressure renders unhealthy choices, and the resulting menus are detrimental to students.
Identify the THESIS statement in this passage.

A)Lunches in US high schools are lacking adequate nutritional value.
B)High school menus are not mandated.
C)High school students can choose between healthy main dishes and “junk food” items.
D)The menus have become increasingly varied over the past two decades, and they are varied to a fault.

Explanation:Describe and Analyse Two Dramatic Moments in 'An Inspector Calls' 'An inspector calls' was written by J.B.Priestley between 1944-1945 but set in 1912. The play all takes place in the living room of a house, and although it seems that this would restrict the play, it doesn't. In fact it is very dramatic play with tension, irony and very dramatic scenes. The historical setting of the play is shown both by how things are perceived differently and the irony about how the future is talked about. References are made as to how things 'won't happen', Titanic-'unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable', but they have and we, the audience, find this very ironic. Priestley also makes this play effective with the tense moments he creates with the skilful climaxes used throughout the play, which heightens the audience's suspense and creates the tension. The way Priestley writes gives the desire to find out who ultimately, was responsible for what happened. It is a very dramatic play, powerful almost, and so I will describe and analyse what I think are the two dramatic moments in the play. These are Mrs Birling's interrogation and the end. Mrs Birling's interrogation starts briefly when she comes into the room saying to the Inspector: ' I don't think I can help you much'. Sheila then tries to warn her mother to stop 'No, mother -please!'. Mrs Birling tries to ignore Sheila but Sheila is persistent, 'Mother, don't-please don't. For your own sake , as well as ours, you musn't -'. ...read more.

It is ironic that Mrs B, being a snob, said 'a girl of that class' should not have 'airs' because Eva did not want to take the money and yet we realise that Eva was more moral that anyone else. Mrs Birling turned the woman away with no help. Mrs Birling shows us that she is an arrogant, self-caring, egotistical, selfish person as one does still not see how any of this was her fault, it was the father's, 'I did nothing I'm ashamed of or that won't bear investigation.' The Inspector, 'I think you did something terribly wrong-and that you're going to regret it.' We know what she has done. We think the climax has gone but...Mrs Birling reveals to us again that 'It's his responsibility.' 'If he refused to marry her-and in my opinion he ought to be compelled to- then he must at least support her. Again and again she goes into more detail about how it being the fathers fault 'He should be made an example of. If the girl's death is due to anybody then it's due to him.' The Inspector makes Mrs Birling expand on what should be done to the boy and Mrs Birling not realising what has happened by linking together the parts carries on, the Inspector asks, 'So he's the chief culprit anyhow?' and Mrs Birling replies, 'Certainly. And he ought to be dealt with very severely-.' ...read more.
