3. Mangosteens

4. The authors purpose is to remind readers that even though we live in a world of convenience, some things are better left waiting for and worth the enjoyment they bring in that moment. I got this impression from the reading because the author describes Mangosteens as an "unattainable commodity"- even though they are available in Canada, they do not have the same taste or effect as they do when enjoying them in Southeast Asia.

5. The main idea is implicit. Globalization has become so wide spread that we are able to get anything anywhere. Despite this, some things should be left where they originate. Mangosteens are treasures that are unique to Southeast Asia. Even though we can have them imported and available in other parts of the world, it doesn't have the same experience as buying them for a street vendor in Malaysia.

6. The tone of the essay builds anticipation. It starts off laid back, kind of informative, and then moves into excited and then finishes off enlightened. The tone keeps the reader engaged, curious to keep reading so that I can find out what the purpose of the essay is. It is easy to ready with lots of descriptions and ideas that the reader can relate to. For example when the author says "But through it all, I yearned for just one exquisite taste on my tongue. I couldn't wait to get to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's sleek capital and the last stop on my tour, where mangosteens awaited me like a long-lost love." Another example is "The mangosteen is not some over-engineered supermarket banana. It's not a Tropicana Twister ingredient or a Jelly Belly flavor. It's a temperamental mistress and a genuine delicacy; a thing available only in its place of origin and too distinctive to be simulated."

7. Trigger note: Today we live in a society where everything is easily accessed. We see, we want, we have!

Topic: Today's society, Purpose: The effects of globalization, Main idea: The world today is different from 20 years ago because of globalization.

As time goes on our big world is becoming smaller. What was once available in certain parts of the world is now available almost anywhere. Growing up my dad always threatened to move us back to the homeland (Pakistan). As a child my biggest fear whenever I heard this threat was what would life be like with out McDonalds, Oreos and Heinz ketchup. Having visited Pakistan in 1990, (before the age of the internet and globalization) I realized that these three items were considered luxuries. To find these items in Pakistan was a novelty, nearly impossible and extremely expensive. I was so grateful when our visit ended
