5-1: Weekly Written Analysis 5

Since this is my last chance to write an analysis for this class, I m going to focus on what is popular or I think is popular for our culture us today.

First of all, since the summer is almost here, people are lining toward buying grilling products. I went shopping the other day, and I notices that all stores I end up going to that day have made grills, grilling cooking books, and even meat designed for grilling in the front section of their stores. Yes, we got it grilling is in fact a very hot thing for most families this season! Even when I watched the Food Network channel, they always have their top chefs present a new trick or two on how to Barbeque your pork ribs or lamp shops. I am big fun on cooking, and I can wait till Sunday to enjoy a picnic journey while grilling hot-dogs with my husband.

Moreover, our culture during the summer season enjoys reducing the hot and humid air with some Ice-Cream. Like it says “we all scream form ice-cream”. From ice-cream cone to banana- split ice-cream is one of top rated sales in the country. As a child or even today, it is something I always crave for whenever going out on a hot summer day. Again, when shopping the other day, ice-cream was put on sale through all brands. It was a good opportunity to get my favorite Belgian chocolate brand and stock in my freezer. In addition, each time I have been driving by Rita's in Henderson rd, I have seen a lot of customers in lines waiting for their turn to get some flavored ice. This is very busy and we are not even in summer yet.

Furthermore, when you associate summer with popular culture, you have to think of the pool and the beach. All people tend to cool off and even gain some tan while swimming in refreshing water. Of course, there is certain rituals and clothing involved with such culture. All individual has to dress up accordantly: flip- flap, hats, short, and t-shirt. Also, when you watch TV or read magazine, you will find the media and marketing playing a major role in passing along the swimming and summer rituals to all of us.

There are more activities and rituals that individuals follow during the summer. Airline also benefit from the season as prices sometimes doubled. Vacations to exotic places including Miami of course are on the radar for most people to enjoy the atmosphere of the summer and just appreciate oneself.
