Breakfast at AJ's
It has become a weekly tradition, a chance to gather our family right before church. AJ's is one of those places we assume will be around forever.
We pile in through the door and we're first hit by the smell of strong coffee. AJ's is bustling with cash register noises, orders screamed to the kitchen, and the clattering of knives and forks.
It is still early, and we are lucky to find a booth. My family scoots into position. Michael, my fiance, sits next to me. The girls, Dawn and Carolyn, sit across from us. Carolyn is seven, and is predictably complaining that there is not enough room for her doll "Jillian." She thinks the doll is real, so out of respect I ask what she is ordering for breakfast.
The waitress walks past us and is skillfully balancing three plates down her left arm to her hand. Managing a coffee pot and two...
At least two of us let an "oooooh" escape, as we compare visual samples with the menu.
Carolyn orders hot chocolate for Jillian, and fruit pancakes for herself. They give her a side of fresh raspberries and I can't resist sampling a bite. I don't know where they found these, but the berries are tart, sweet, and perfect. Tangy and juicy, these berries are delectable with the light pancakes and warm, sticky syrup. Her side of bacon is a wonderful balance of sweet, smoky meat, half-crunchy and half-tender.
Dawn has very thoughtfully ordered eggs benedict. They arrive without an inch of white space left on her plate. I tell her "you know you have to share all of that, right?"

Breakfast at Tiffany's What's in a Name? The Characters in Breakfast at Tiffany's Breakfast at Tiffany's is a novella, a short work of fiction that has little more than one hundred pages. One of the devices used by author Truman Capote is the choice of unique and interesting character names. The device allows him to create a sense of time and place as well as portray his characters more vividly. Capote's considerable
Breakfast Club Constructs of sociology and social theories aim to describe a host of human social interactions. Ideas of how humans view the social world, exchange with others, and fit into society are the guiding principles of sociology. These sociological perspectives find their way into entertainment outlets and pop culture as they are often reflections of society, and try to imitate common social interactions (Burton, 1988). The 1985 film, The Breakfast
Another aspect I deeply enjoyed is the fact that similarly to its protagonist -- suggestively named Holly Golightly -- the film is bittersweet, leaving the viewer to reflect on issues such as the essence of life, and the definition of happiness. In addition, the musical score is brilliant and fits the plot beautifully. In fact, Breakfast at Tiffany's won two Academy Awards -- for Best Song and Original Music
The audience at this time could remain entirely unsuspicious of what is actually happening to Alfred, if it weren't from the casual commentaries Mrs. Rowland drops as to his appearance and gestures. Also, the event is intentionally trivialized; the title deceives the audience to think that the play is about the domestic life of a family "before breakfast." The suicide is done again at a trivial moment, when Alfred
Cereal eaters get more vitamins, minerals and fiber. They eat less fat and are less depressed, stressed and tend to be smarter than those who do not eat breakfast. Studies funded by the cereal industry listed benefits from eating breakfast. One of these was that student cereal-eaters got higher reading marks and had better mental health. Evidence showed that those with higher incomes and education levels have healthier breakfasts
Her personality is opposed to that of her husband; she is a pragmatic whereas he is a dreamer and an artist. This opposition in terms of personality and lifestyle is what makes their relationship unbearable for both of them. Also, it is this difference in temperament and ways of channeling anger that drives a wedge between the spouses. Mr. Rowland chooses to be quiet and not leave the bedroom whereas
