Eighner

Scavenging through dumpsters, picking through leftovers from restaurants does not sound appealing but for Eighner a dumpster can be a five star restaurants. Through the story Eighner takes us through his vivid menus that he is able to choose from. “While it lasted I had a steady supply of fresh, some-times warm pizza.” (Pg 256). Eighner had varieties of food at his fingertips, but knowing what was good and bad was the key to Eighner’s success. “ Yogurt, cheese, and sour cream are items that are often thrown out while they are still good” (pg 257). While Eighner had to be choosy and cautious about what he choose off his menus he had the choice of what to eat at his disposal. Eighner was able to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner but also was able to get deserts when his sweet tooth was in-need of some sugar. Through the worst of times Eighner taught that you still have choices and are exposed to fine dinning.
