11 Sentance Paragraph -

The pathogens from infected cattle spread in feedlots, slaughterhouses, and in hamburger

grinders. Slaughterhouse tasks are more like to contaminate because of the removal of hide and

their digestive system. While a machine pull the hide of and adequntly cleans it, dirt and manuer

may fall off onto the meat. The job must be performed carefully, stomaches and intestines are

still pulled out by hand, some contents of the digestive system may spill everywhere. There is an

increased speed of todays production lines, making the task much more difficult. A single worker
at a “gut table” may eviscerate sixty cattle an hour. It takes a fair amount of skill to perform the

task properly. I talked with a former IBP “gutter” and it took him six months to learn how to pull

out the stomach and tie off the intestines, the intestines must be tied off without spillage. He

could gut 200 consecutive cattle without spilling anything, this was his best. Far more often do

inexperienced gutters spill manuer. The IBP slaughter house in Lexington, Nebraska has as high

as 20 percent spill rate at the gut table, with one in five contents of a carcass being splattered.

Sentence Combinding -

I made an appointment with a Paris eye doctor, this was in the late 1990s when I couldnt see my

feet, he sent me away to get a pair of glasses. I blame my choice of frames on the lack of being

chose them because I thought they made me look smart and international, made of my own free

will. The frames were made of dark plastic, with rectangular lenses not much larger than my

eyes. I couldnt quite put my finger on it, but there was something vaguely familiar about them.

After I picked them up I spent a great deal of time in front of the mirror, pretending to share

intellectual comments regarding the state of Europe.
