My Mom Couldn't Cook

When describing something, it is very important to go into detail. You need to make the reader interested and feel like they are tasting what you are describing. For example, "... Battle-ship gray lamb chops and the olive- drab green beans. " Color can be a good adjective but you can also use words that describe taste. Like in " No Wonder They Called Me a Bitch" she uses the words, wet, soyish, thick, black, warm and many more. The author also uses verbs like, leaking, sizzling, melting, and frying. Both these authors used words that would describe their unpleasent food experiences, and they both go into detail making it feel as if you were eating it too.

Foods all around the world

I realized that food is a big part of people’s lives. There are different kinds of foods all around the world based on where you are. For example in Italy pasta is very popular, more popular than anywhere else in the world. China is also known for their noodles, but they are cooked and seasoned in a different way. Food can be more than just something to eat, it can also bring people together. For example many people go on dates out to dinner and it can even just bring the family together for a meal. Also, Turkey is a big part of thanksgiving. Many people get exicted for the big dinner planned on that day with their loved ones. Food takes a big toll in peoples like for different reasons.

We are what we eat :)

As I looked through pictures of what people eat all around the world, I learned that a lot of families foods are similar but the amount of food varied throughout the world. I saw that the two US families had a lot of food and most of it was unhealthy, like pizza and soda. The families from Chad and Ecuador did not have very much, and the food they did, have were mostly grains. Chinese and Japan families mostly meat and noodles, and Mexico, Bhutan and Egypt had a lot of fruits and vegetables. I think culture strongly influences what people eat. Also if you were grown up eating certain types of food that is usually what you stick with throughout your life.

"But once in a while people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quite persistence of a dream." -one tree hill

"Things aren’t always going to be fair in the real world. That’s just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. Rest of your life is being shaped right now. With the dreams you chase….The choices you make….and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time. And the rest of your life starts right now."- one tree hill

"Because it´s only when you´re tested that you truly discover who you are. And it´s only when you´re tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the heartache and fear of what life has. "- one tree hill
