I'm sitting on my bed trying really hard to figure out what to say about this article. I've tried over and over and over but nothing good comes to me. My goodness. I know that Albert Yeganeh has an extreme passion about soup and that's just something I just can't seem to pour my whole heart over! As I've thought it over, I decided to figure out what food I really love and compare it to Albert and his soups...
Potatoes. I am in love with potatoes. Anytime I go to a restaurant or any fast food place, I usually end up buying French fries over any other side. I also get way to excited whenever my mom would make mashed potatoes on Sundays. Every time we have a family get-together, my Aunt Renee always brings scalloped or half baked potatoes because she knows how much I love them. Right now, It's one in the morning and I even have my roommate Mikayla making me her funeral potatoes because I told her how much I love them. So I guess, in a way I can kind of compare myself to Albert and his obsession to soups.
Albert owns a soup shop in New York city, selling over 80 different kinds of soups. It's incredible. This guy is so passionate about what he does. Every soup has to be absolutely perfect or he isn't satisfied.
PTIC:
Purpose- I think that the point of the story is just to understand Albert and what kind of a person he is. He's definitely a perfectionist, clean freak and a lover of good food.
Theme- The purpose is about Albert. He owns a soup shop in New York city, selling over 80 different kinds of soups. It's incredible. This guy is so passionate about what he does and every soup has to be absolutely perfect or he isn't satisfied.
"The customer is always wrong and I’m always right. I raised my prices to try to get rid of some of these people, but it didn’t work."
Issue- Albert can't stand working with the public and he isn't afraid to show it. This is an issue for Albert because he gets so upset when people hold up lines or get in the way. He likes to get things done fast and most customers don't like that.
"The customer is always wrong and I’m always right. I raised
my prices to try to get rid of some of these people, but it didn’t work."
Conclusion- Albert is a slave with his business because he has to have everything "just right" in order for him to be happy. He fired a worker just because he forgot to pick up the mushroom that had fallen. He's feels as though everything has to be perfect because he's the one selling.
"He’s downright rude," said a blond woman in a blue coat. "Even abusive. But you can’t
deny it, his soup is the best."
