Summary # 5 T. Burns

In the essay "Your Trusted Friends" by Eric Schlosser he makes an interesting comparison between the founder of Disney Land and World, Mr. Walt Disney, and the founder of McDonald's, Mr. Ray Kroc. There are definitely a lot of similarities between the two men which is what makes this essay so very interesting. They are a year apart and were in the same war as young men. They both have been very successful in the businesses. Although, the two businesses are different they almost go hand in hand with eachother. They are both focused on advertising to children which is most of their customer base. Schlosser states "The fantasy world of McDonaldland borrowed a good deal from Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom." This is proof that the two have worked together and become very popular in the eyes of children from all around the World.
