As<\/strong>signment #1: Write a 150-word analysis that makes your personal object interesting and informative to someone\u00a0<\/b><\/em>else <\/b><\/em>(your roommate, friend, partner, or whatever disinterested person you can think of).<\/span><\/p>

Student example:<\/p>

Ball Brothers<\/span><\/p>

New York, United Sates<\/p>

1880<\/p>

The molded glass Ball Jar most known for its ability to can and preserve food was founded by the five Ball Brothers in 1880.<\/p>

The rarity of the Ball Jar can be recognized by its color and shape. Today you might find them in a range of colors such as red or purple but the original aqua blue and green were made to block light from spoiling the contents inside. The mason jar screw thread top will seal and vacuum its content, keeping your cherry jam or heirloom tomato sauce preserved throughout the winter. Current day canning and preserving practices may not be as common today due to modern refrigeration but the\u00a0Ball Jar continues to adapt in the modern age. Florists use them as center pieces at wedding receptions while mixologists create trendy cocktails served in a Ball Jar.<\/span><\/p>
