The Beginning of Mustard


In this project I had to write an article about anything that I found interested or something I wanted to know more about. I decided to write mines about the origin of French's Mustard.



Rochester the home of French’s Mustard.  French’s Mustard was first introduced in 1904, in a world fair in St. Louis. French’s Mustard was first manufactured in Rochester in 1880 by a man named George French.
 Before Robert and George French lived in Rochester they had a flour mill in Fairport, New York, but the flour mill burned down and forced them to move to Rochester New York. French’s Mustard is one of the most famous mustards in the United States. It has various sizes of mustard bottles and various flavors for whatever you’re eating it on.
Mustard is put on many American foods. You can find mustard on burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches (turkey, chicken, ham, etc.), fries, and more. People even put mustard on pizza or potato chips.
Shockingly French’s Mustard is one of the few mustards that contain 0% fat in every bottle of mustard. Many people like to refrigerator their mustard to keep it from spoiling, but French’s Mustard doesn’t spoil. You could choose to refrigerator it or leave it out at room temperature it’s all about how you like your mustard.
French’s Mustard Company doesn’t only focus on making mustard. This company makes more than just the world’s greatest mustard.  French’s makes hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cheddar French fried Oreos, and more.
French’s Mustard also makes up recipes for several of different tasty foods. French’s Mustard can be used to make everything taste better and have more flavor than ever before.

Easily Influenced


                In this project I had to write my own articles for a magazine that we made in our class. This is an article that I wrote that expressed how music can have an impact on how people live.


Many thing influences us young males to act a certain way or to dress a certain way. Young males are generally vulnerable to being influenced during their puberty years. Music seems to be one of the biggest ways that the average teenage males are being influenced. Some of the music influences can be good but most of the time is isn’t.

Music today isn’t the same as it was years ago. It contains messages that certain listeners pick up on.  Average hip-hop artist rap about the wrong things give young male listeners the thought that it’s okay to do what they are hearing. Listening to a song about smoking weed or popping a molly can cause curiosity, leading an easily influenced teen to want to try it or do it just because the artist you listen to does it. Music changes the life of people so much, but it’s barely noticed. A simple lyric in a verse can influence someone to do the wrong thing or make the wrong choice in life.

Music now promotes an uncommon lifestyle that few people have the privilege of living. Promoting having sex with a new girl every night isn’t a good thing. Young listeners who hear this think they should be able to do that, too. This leads to increases in teen pregnancies and the spread of STDs in teenagers. Music is always another way of carrying on problems with other people. A “diss” track is used to talk about another artist and show how much you don’t like them. This can lead to fights or even someone getting shot or seriously hurt.

Music lyrics aren’t the only thing that influence young males. Music videos have an impact on the audience life as well. Seeing their favorite artist in a video filled with beautiful half dressed women, with weed smoke filling the room, and money laying all over the place is something like a tease. It shows them what then life should be or how it could be if you do what the music tells you to do. Some young males see music as a guideline on how to live life the right way, so when you do get older you’ll be rich and famous just like your favorite music artist. The reality of it all is be your own person. Paint your own picture. Don’t be influenced by the music of this generation.
