_______34. The ice-cream shop around the corner from my house has the best ice-cream in the city.
When you first walk inside, there is a long chrome counter with matching stools extending alongside the
far wall. Right where the counter stops, the booth seating begins. There are lots of old-timey knickknacks
on the walls and chrome napkin holders on all the tables. My favorite part of the shop is behind the
counter glass, where they keep all the ice cream flavors. A rainbow of delicious sugary flavors is kept cool
and delicious behind the counter glass.
______35. Freezer burn may have wasted more ice-cream than sidewalks. If you don’t know, freezer burn
is when ice crystals form on the surface of ice-cream. These ice crystals can ruin the texture and flavor of
ice cream. But you can prevent freezer burns. Since freezer burn is caused when melted ice-cream is
refrozen, rather than eating your ice-cream from the container as it melts, scoop your ice cream into a
bowl and put the container back in the fridge immediately. Doing this ought to help you solve your issues
with freezer burn.

reading of his novel Notes from the Underground I am exploring the impact of his most famous outcast, the
Underground Man, on counterculture writers in America during the great subculture upsurge of the 1950s
and 60s. Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac employ both the universal themes expressed by the
Underground Man as well as more specific stylistic and textual similarities.
