When it came to Writing Project 1, I wrote about the
Starbucks inside the MU. The reason why I chose this location is because no
matter what the lines are usually full. I was just trying to guess why and find
the reason for many people going. And after doing this observation through the
lens, I can now see the main reasons people go. In college students hardly get
enough sleep with studying in all and most not having coffee makers, they need
coffee on the go so they head to Starbucks. By using the lens of Frank Norris, "Polk Street," I
saw that society also plays a major part in going to Starbucks. They are many other
coffee shops but since most of society likes Starbucks, most people would go
there to just fit in. Walking around you hardly notice peoples having Dunkin’ Donuts
or Dutch Bro’s rather they are holding the one and only Starbucks in their
hands. Starbucks is just a powerhouse thanks to society. Another thing I found
was the repetitiveness of customers and the workers. My peers would go to
Starbucks every day ordering the same thing every time. When it comes to the
workers, they make the same drinks non-stop, plus have to be fast paced. All in
all I got a new observation of why the Starbucks is so packed compared to other
coffee shops. Not only am I not a coffee guru, but noticing something that
society has influenced is quite amazing to begin with. Finally, since the MU is
the place where the food is, it might just be a coincidence why this Starbucks
is the busiest.
What essay did Norris write?
