Keurig
1. A Keurig is a convenient, self powered, hot beverage dispenser. There are three different models, each priced differently due to their abilities. It is a silver and black elegant looking machine with a display on the top right side, indicating when the machine is ready. There is a main power button that is black with a white power symbol along with three small buttons, each labelled with a different cup size to indicate how large of a beverage you would like to have dispensed. At the top there is a handle that opens the top part of the machine and raises a holster where your "K-cup" of choice is inserted. When closed the needle at the bottom and top of the holster pierces the cup so the water can run through the solution and mix evenly into your cup. On the left of the machine is a detachable water holder that needs to be filled up after so many uses. There is a pump at the bottom of the water holder that feeds the water through the machine, through the solution and into your cup. At the bottom is a spill or drip tray with a star in the centre and tiny dots coming out from the star in a circle pattern. This is to catch any spills of coffee, tea and/or any other beverage.
2. A Keurig is a coffee and hot beverage dispenser. There are three types of models that each have a different price. The machine has buttons and a display at the top to indicate when your beverage is ready and which size to choose. The handle at the top can be lifted where the "K-cup" can be inserted. There is a water holder on the side that feeds the water through the machine and a drip tray at the bottom to catch the spills.
3. A Keurig is a convenient, self powered, hot beverage dispenser. It is purchased to be used in the convenience of your own home. It has a very simple approach to the machine and can be used with ease. After powering it up, the water is collected from the side water holder and heated up within the machine. When the machine says ready on the display, the handle can be lifted in the front and the "K-cup" can be inserted inside the holster. When the handle is closed the K-cup is pierced. There are three options for cup size and when chosen the machine dispenses the water through the cup solution producing a cup of heaven before your eyes.

Blog #10 - Part 2 (Theme)
2. Chinua Achebe's "Dead Men's Path" is a story about a man; Michael Obi and a Nigerian village and their struggle to meet personal compromise.
1. Michael Obi was appointed headmaster of Ndume School and decided to make it more
modernized, covering up an "old path" that ran through the school grounds.
1. Michael was a very dominant, controlling man that wanted to create a new way of
teaching for the children of Ndume school, brining in a more modern approach and
eliminate the traditions that once controlled the school. ("And what has that got to do
with the school?" (57).)
2. Michael knew full well what the path meant to the village however his arrogance
controlled his decision in covering the path with a bit of barbed wire, bushes and
flowers. ("Heavy sticks were planted closely across the path at the two places where it
entered and left the school premises" (64-65).)
2. The path running through the school was an old tradition of the village, that their dead would
take to their burial ground. The village demanded that it be uncovered, so it could still be
used.
1. The village's priest visited the headmaster to explain the importance of the path.
Stressing the beliefs the path has on the people of the village and that this tradition
was much more important than the "modernism" Michael was trying to promote.
2. "Our dead relatives depart by it and our ancestors visit us by it. But most important, it
is the path of children coming in to be born" (77-79).
3. Compromise could not be decided upon by both the headmaster and the priest.
1. The headmaster said the path could not run through the school grounds, however they
could let it skirt their premisses and they would offer to help reconstruct it. The priest
disagreed said the path had to remain in the same spot and if the path remained
blocked a person of the village will perish.
2. A short time after a young woman died giving birth and Michael woke to his school and
premises ruined by the angry villagers.

1. Alice Munro's "Boy's and Girls" is a story about a girl entering into womanhood while growing up on a fox farm.
1. The young girl learns to grow up as a fox farmer and perform the everyday typical farm tasks of a
male.
1. "I filled the water drum at the pump and trundled it down through the barnyard to the pens"
(91-92)
2. The girl loved to follow her father around on the farm and help out. Her brother was younger
and weaker so she could skip regular woman tasks.
2. The mother wanted her daughter to take on the typical role of a farm girl and help with cooking,
cleaning, preparing food, etc.

escape form the kitchen back out to the barn. The mother could see this and started plotting
how she would keep her inside.
3. The girl starts to realize that she has no choice but to fill the woman role on a farm and become her
mother, that was the path she was forced by her family to realize.

229).
2. "She's only a girl." "I didn't protest that, even in my heart. Maybe it was true" (451-453)
