Precis: Fast food Nation 2nd Chunk

The second chunk of Fast Food Nation talked mainly about Walt Disney and Ray Kroc. These two could easily be defined as men who literally made something from nothing. Kroc and Disney both dropped out of high school and later added the "trappings" of formal education to their companies. The two men shared the same vision of America, the same perspectives, the same faith in that of technology. They provided an overall corporate vision and "grasped the public mood." Ray Kroc owned thousands of Mc'Donalds that were spread nationwide, and Walt Disney was the creator/founder of the world known Disneyland theme park, as well as the animation of his creative cartoons which where later made into television shows. Whatever feelings existed between the two men, Walt Disney proved in many ways to be a role model for Ray Kroc. And although Disney's success came much more quickly, in the long run, these two entrepreneurs have demanded the same level of respect for their accomplishments.
