Have you ever wondered what your town would be like if there were no fast-food places or the things we're usually used to? The Mc jobs article is about Martinsburg and how it changed. This includes its history about past times and what a quiet town they were. It also talks about how fast food spreads there and how fast-food companies get workers. Eric Schlosser's message about how life changed in Martinsburg is that highways bring sameness to places they connect. Martinsburg before the change was very different from what it is today. On page 1, in paragraph 1, it says, "For almost two hundred years, Martinsburg, West Virginia, was a sleepy little community at the northern tip of the Shenandoah Valley." This shows a vague difference from back in 1778 in Martinsburg to now, when the town's dynamic is different. In addition, page 2, paragraph 4 says, "In the mid-1960's, a twenty-six-mile stretch of Interstate 81 opened on the western edge of Martinsburg. The new four-lane highway changed the town forever." It says that the highway changed the town forever. This shows that everything changes over time. Fast food places always change the structure of cities and towns because their food is so repetitive. And how they make and place their workers and fast-food places. On page 6, paragraph 14, it says, "teenagers like Danielle run the fast-food restaurants of Martinsburg. The same is true throughout the rest of the country." This shows that fast food companies use the same strategies to attract more customers. On page 7, paragraph 15, it says, "The ovens at Pizza Hut and Domino's often use Conveyer belts." This means that fast-food places tend to make everything the same. This shows that fast food places basically bring things together and discard odds and ends. Although fast food places are cheap and make everything convenient and predictable, they still can be bad for everyone. I think fast food places both negatively and positively affected the Martinsburg community. Some benefits of fast food include its affordability and accessibility, which are good for people with large families. A negative is that all the food is frozen, which is bad for your health over time. But in my opinion, the change in fast food was not good for the diverse community. Overall, fast food changed the entire community with its dynamics and people, and the way they eat. Overall, fast food made food more convenient, but it changed the town, making it like almost every other American town.
