The conversation started out about me telling my parents what I learned in class about how the food we buy in stores can be harmful in many ways. Then, I proceeded to tell them what struck me the most was the story about Kevin, a two year old who ate three burgers and died from escherichia coli (e. coli). I told them that after this incident, they passed a law called "Kevin's law" that gives the U.S. Department of Agriculture the power to shut down plants that have contaminated meat. My parents responded to this by saying "We should be more careful now. Thank you for sharing that with us."

School Daze - Dialectic Journal
Quote:

Response:
I chose this quote because it really caught my attention and it immediately reminded me of what my parents always tell me about school and life. They say that if I want to be successful in life or not go hungry or homeless, then I have to work hard for money and get a good job. That is why I thought this quote from the book really connected to me and my life and the way that I've been taught.
