After reading “No Wonder they Call me a Bitch” beginning on p. 107 of The Norton Sampler, choose a physical description that Hodgman uses in her story. Analyze that description and tell us how the author's words create a sensory effect (touch, smell, hearing, taste, or vision). Share your reaction to the description and whether you think it is effective and why.

Write a descriptive paragraph comparing two foods categories such as snack foods (Doritos vs generic taco chips), fast food burgers (McDonalds’ Quarter Pounder vs Burger King’s Whopper), candy bars, sports drinks, or any similar food groups. Using sensory details (taste, feel, smell, look/sight), describe them and convey your preference without saying "I like XXX best."

Answer-

I feel amazed that Ann Hodgeman went through all the trouble to understand how Dogs treat processed packaged dog food as their complete meal. It was her childhood curiosity to know how dog food would taste like. When she grown up and had a dog then she ate the dog food and her reaction to dog food in terms of smell, texture and appearance was different. She found out that dog food is nothing like commercials that create image that dog food would be tasty but it was actually bad. I think that our sensory details can help us to determine the actual reality of a product.

I would compare two foods Doritos and Generic taco chips. I would Doritos based on my sensory details. In terms of Taste, Doritos comes in different flavors like organic white cheddar,spicy, tangy tomato etc. They bring more taste to our tounge. On the other hand, Generic taco chips are more blend and less in flavor variety. In terms of feel, I believe that Doritos are more harsh unlike generic taco chips which are very very thin which broken easily in packet. In terms of Smell, Doritos smell very inviting and tasty. They give aromas of spcies flavor which act as stimuli that we want to eat them right away. In terms of look/sight, The packaging is the first thing which comes in interaction. The packaging of doritos is very inviting and attractive in different colors. They also show TV ads which create a appeal to me that i want to buy them from the stores and eat them.It is surprising that how our senses can affect our decisions to buy a product over another.
