Krispy Krème Doughnuts Comment

Dear Krispy Kreme,
My name is Jeffery Osei-Yaw and I am a regular costumer and also big fan Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. The purpose of my letter to you is to show my appreciation as a regular costumer for such a wonderful work your company does for me as an individual and my family. My friends can even testify about my love for your service and food as well as their own satisfaction. I want you to know that your doughnuts are by far the best I have ever had comparing to doughnuts made by other companies like Dunkin Doughnuts. I love how your doughnuts are made to be soft and moist when served. It gives me the good sensation of freshness. One aspect that makes Krispy Kreme stand out from other doughnuts is the how the doughnuts are filled with different kinds of cream from vanilla to chocolate. Also, the filling of different fruits including cherry, strawberry, pineapple and others gives me more to choose for myself. Unlike Krispy Kreme, other doughnuts served by other stores are always stale, have a hard feeling when being eaten and not fresh. Although they also have different kinds of flavoring to their doughnuts, even the cream used on their doughnuts is not as fresh as of Krispy Kreme. Before I got to know about Krispy Kreme, I used to be a big fan of Dunkin doughnuts. A friend had to get into a heated argument with me to try Krispy Kreme because at the time I never heard about Krispy Kreme since I came to the United States in the year of 2004. In Africa, Dunkin doughnuts is also widely known there. From the day I was introduced to Krispy Kreme and had a taste of the Doughnuts, I must say I instantly forgot about Dunkin doughnuts. My life was never the same and from that very day, it’s nothing but Krispy Kreme.
Buy the way I would like to comment on the serving of your doughnuts since I am a regular customer and I feel it is my concern. Sometimes the served doughnuts on the front cashier’s desk have a cold feel to it even though they are guaranteed fresh. It will be very much appreciated if there is a way to keep the fresh baked doughnuts heated at the front desk. There are some numerous times I have experienced this and I thought it will be necessary to notify the company. All the same, I am still in love with Krispy Kreme and sure know that I will be enjoying it for a lifetime. Thank you very much for your time and looking forward to your positive consideration of this letter.


On this blog on the comment about Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, I actually looked not only into complimenting the Doughnut company about their good food and service. I also gave my opinion about some certain aspects of their service and how they can make their service much better since I consider myself a regular customer.

Visualizing and Narrating

The image that is being focused on the Time magazine is about the picture of a woman carrying apples and cookies plus some newspapers for sale on a street in the downtown city of Port-au-Prince in Haiti. She stands under the sunlight in the mist of others during an afternoon on the day of February 5th 2010 few weeks after the disastrous earthquake that struck Haiti. There are some messages and some languages that this image is communicating to us the audience or readers. First of all the expression of the image. The posture of the woman in the picture. There is also the language of facial expression. The manner in which she is selling her products. The environment that surrounds her also tells something. First if all the expression on her face shows more of sorrow, distress, and unhappiness as she does her business. It might be as a result of losing her whole marketing business due to the earthquake and all that she has left is the few that she carries on her head. It could also be possible that she lost her home and belongings to the earthquake and therefore selling the food that she has in order to get some more to take care of herself and family. Due to the disaster, people are mourning the loss of their families, looking for their families or seeking refuge. People may not pay much attention to her items because there is so much going on. The background which is filled with crowded people shows that people are roaming around homeless, without their families or also trying to sell items like the woman in the main focus. Also, the surroundings appear to be polluted, destroyed, and show an image of confusion which depicts that a disaster has indeed taken place. Even with the people in the background, some are seen walking barefooted and some are seen walking shirtless all showing that they are all in an uncomfortable situation. In the background, a random person could also be seen holding some bottles in his arm. The bottles look somehow like medicine bottles or some bottles that he is seeking to fill with some drinking water. Also there are some white bags in the background that looks like food supply bags made for the people buy the first aid people. Every image whether the main focus or the background has a significant message to tell that it is showing the event of a natural disaster.

AT THE SOCCER FIELD

Everyone in this world at least have a memory of one special day in their lives that they spent at a special place or took part of a special event. It could be an enjoyable memory. It can also be sorrowful, adventurous or hectic memory depending on the experience of the person. For me one of my most memorable days of my live ever as one whole day I spent at the soccer field. The day at the soccer field was the first day I was about to play an actual soccer match for my school team which I was selected to play for by the school coach. It had always been my dream and wish for that day and it did come to past. Before that day, I had been practicing for the draft into the soccer team both at school and at home. There had three or four occasions that I tried the draft and I was rejected just because I was slim, they saw me not to be fit enough to play soccer. Even though I was developing my skills at soccer and getting better, they did not give me the chance to even display my skills. They just directly judged me by my appearance. So after the fourth time of rejection into the soccer team I just decided to give up looking forward to be drafted but still practiced the soccer at my backyard. This was happening at the time of my freshman level in high school. When I reached the end of my sophomore year, my the assistant coach of the school saw me practicing at a half soccer field that I always practice behind my house and was so surprised at the way I was playing. He had a long talk with me till the sky darkened for us to head back home. He assured me that he will inform the head school coach about me no matter what, and he is going to make sure that I make it to the team. So for the fifth time that I went for the draft in my junior year, everybody was amazed at my performance at the draft. This time I was drafted into the team. This was the happiest day of my life at school. Our first soccer match between other schools went on sunny Saturday in the year 2003. On that same first day I scored two goals out of four goals that we scored against the other school. It was indeed one of the most memorable days of my life. It as all perseverance by continues to do what I love to do no matter what people tell me.
