Cabbage Patch Kids

The Cabbage Patch Dolls had a large surge of popularity in the 1980s that didn’t last. A man named Xavier Roberts a Georgian sculptor had created them. He used the technique of “needle molding” to create these dolls. First, he had called these dolls “Little People” but later on developed onto what is now known as the “Cabbage Patch Kids”. Xavier Roberts had an art exhibit he would showcase them at. His assistants were then told to dress in maternity clothing and held the dolls up as if they were for adoption. And so rather than using the conventional ‘selling’ of the product, he gave them to costumers through “adoption” for $40 each, providing them with the official paperwork’s that would come along with adopting a child. This idea had worked as a very popular movement in the United States. So he then came together with five other friends and the original Appalachian Artworks, Inc. and created the “Baby Land General Hospital” in Cleveland Georgia in 1978. It became a huge Christmas gift phenomenon. It was so popular that fights would break…

Cabbage Soup According to my data questions that I have answered, the program I researched would not be effective. I don’t think it provides all the nutrients the body need, but its a really nutritious diet. The fact that once the diet is over, you regain your weight is not good because if you are someone who wants to keep losing weight they will always have to keep following the cabbage soup plan and will not have chance to eat their regular food. The programs seems safe to me because it will…

Russian culture has always had a big impact on my life as a mixed, Russian/Black individual. And as most Russians will tell you, food is a huge part of their culture. I grew up with so many diverse food on my plate over the year and simply assumed that that was just what everyone ate until I started going to school and noticing other kids lunches, and they started to notice mine. But at the heart of my semi-Russian experience there are four foods that seem to best capture the ideal Russian…

only thing that keeps Darry from bein’ a Soc is us” (126). Being a Soc means that Darry would not have to deal with the stereotypes or the worries of having to get jumped walking down the street. Darry could have made it, he could have saved himself from a tough life full of pain and worries. He did not join the Socs because the bonds of family far outweighed anything that money or popularity could have gave him. His bonds of family and friendship kept Darry ‘gold’. The Greasers are all about…

It is a song, but it can be considered poetry. I believe the author's purpose with writing the song is to express and reflect. One feature that stood out to me was the stanzas. The stanza feature provides each section to be separate in meaning but still convey the same message. With ¨Love¨ by Kid Cudi, he has a stanza about being happy and the next about not being down. If it were all blended together, the message wouldn't be as clear. Kid Cudi used repetition, an emotional and strong tone to…

Children “Do not educate your child to be rich. Educate him to be happy. So when he grows up, he will know the value of things, not the price” (Man of Honor). The Socs have it worse than the Greasers. There is clear evidence that the Socs have it worse than the Greasers because they are exposed to violence and are not given any boundaries to their games. Some may say that the poor kids struggle more because they have to learn to make a living for themselves and become more independent; on the…

When you look at fans of professional wrestling, it can become pretty obvious who their favorite wrestler is, by the clothing, or merchandise, they wear. For fans of Kanye West, there’s a different similarity between pro wrestling fans and themselves. Kanye West fans do not have a definitive name, or way of defining themselves. There is no form for the group for some reason. However, they are still able to celebrate their icon and promote their icon in a positive way amid negative press he is…
