Shepherd's Pie Analysis

Customers are craving to try one-of-a-kind food from a special restaurant, located in the beautiful town of Boca Raton. There is an extravagant Southern California, motif vibe with wood and brick interior and gas lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There is a lit vivid candle on the table while sitting on the luscious red leather booths. Waiters are wearing white collard shirts with black pants, a tie, and fancy steakhouse aprons. This restaurant might be packed with hungry people, but the conversation of many crowds can still be heard. Houston’s spinach and artichoke dip, French dip au jus, and key lime pie are perfect for family dinners or just for special occasions.

At the end of the passage, Soto’s demonstrates his remorse through the repetition of the people who knew about his sin and him flinging thirsty. Thus, supporting his utter resentment and guilt from stealing and consuming the apple pie. “A car honked, the driver knew…Mrs.Hancock…she knew…My mom…knew.” Soto’s conscious is filled with guilt, by repeating the term “knew,” the reader can conclude that Soto’s paranoia from consuming the pie is truly starting to effect him. Although, there is no possible way for these people to “know” that Soto has committed a sin, the haunting repetition alludes to Soto’s bursting guilt. Furthermore, Soto’s fantasy was short lived once inhaling the stolen pie, therefore he begins to participates in an activity that

In Anzia Yezierska 's Bread Givers of 1952, a family of immigrant parents living in poverty in the ghetto of New York City struggle to survive. Sara and the narrator both had an awestruck tone towards Max. No matter who was talking, they speak so kind and fondly about Max. Besides their similarities, there were many differences in speed and purpose. When Sara was speaking, she had a very hasty tone where her words were repetitive and scattered. She says“God! How I hated him! He and I? No. No…” (Yezierska 197). Her repetition and informal writing shows a sense of urgency which displays ethos. When one reads her unceremonious words, it shows a sense of vulnerability having her first impulse thoughts being exposed. Sara’s

Growing up in a hispanic family directly affected the environment I was exposed to. Everyone around me always greatly emphasized the importance of family, being humble, and being generous.. My teachers, friends, family, and loved ones majorly impacted me and shaped me into who I am today.

In Russel Baker's essay, "The Art of Eating Spaghetti", he was trying to express that what you end up doing shouldn't be determined by how hard it will be, but instead by if you want to do it or not. He says that he felt that he wanted to be writer, but knew that it kids didn't just graduate and be a writer. At the end, he says, "Writing couldn't lead to a job after high school, and it was hardly honest work, but Mr. Fleagle had opened a door for me."

The African American culture takes pride in cooking and food in general. Food is mostly provided or prepared for any occasion like family reunions, cook outs, holidays, and funerals. My mother and her cousin, Sherrie would decide who house to celebrate holidays or cook outs and each person would cook and prepare the food for any of our family gathers. My mother also prepared traditional southern meals in our home. Home cooked meals are a value in the family as well as the African American culture. The thought of home cooked meals mean someone took the time to prepare the food so their family can have a balance

In the second part of the novel All the Light We Cannot See, a prominent theme is rebellion because of what Madame Manec and some of her close friends that live in Saint-Malo have planned to do against the German soldiers and have found other ways to communicate what has been happening in France with perhaps other countries. Madame Manec, before her death, asked Marie-Laure and Etienne “Do you know what happens, Etienne”… “when you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water?”… “It jumps out. But do you know what happens when you put the frog in a pot of cool water and then slowly bring it to a boil? You know what happens then?... “The frog cooks.” (pg. 285) I believe that this obviously plays a role in her rebellion together with other women against the soldiers, but the way I saw it is that it can symbolize a metaphor for what they are doing to the German soldiers because the

Outdated stereotypes create forced expectations and affect people for the worst. This is a common theme between “Turkeys in the Kitchen” by Dave Barry and “The Myth of the Latin Woman: I Just Met a Girl Named Maria” by Judith Ortiz Cofer. These works deal with stereotypes of gender and ethnicity, as well as how they are interpreted on the receiving end. Turkeys in the Kitchen deals with gender through anecdotes about cooking, and how the stereotypes of men and women in the kitchen persist post-women’s-liberation. “The Myth of the Latin Woman” deals with Puerto Rican stereotypes through anecdotes about how she is treated differently as a woman for her ethnicity, and how she is prematurely judged by her Puerto Rican behavior and ethnicity. These

My mother and sisters cook the enchiladas. They do the majority of the work such as dishes. This process reinforces traditional family roles. This leaves more time for the men to relax. We are quite lucky. To start off, they cook the chicken and roast the green chilies. Then they sauté the onions and garlic. In the same pan they put cream of mushroom soup, pieces of the shredded chicken breast, and chopped green chilies. My sister usually adds some milk into mixture as well. They then take corn tortilla and lightly toast them in a skillet. They take the tortillas out and put the ingredients inside along with a little cheddar cheese. Then, they roll the enchiladas and place them upon a cookie sheet. The steps are repeated until the cookie sheet is filled with enchiladas.

This November, while we were visiting my grandmother at Cape Cod, my dad and I made a delicious dinner in the style of Redwall. We looked at different recipes and decided on Lemon and Butter Trout, along with some October Ale to drink. We did not have access to trout so we bought fresh Cod. We began by cutting open the fish and sliding slices of butter inside the slot. Once the butter was inside the fish, we cut one of out two lemons in half, squeezed one half onto the fish for lemon juice, and laid the second half neatly on top of the fish in thin slices. We sprinkled parsley on top and then put the fish on the grill inside a tight wrap of aluminum foil. Although this was not part of the Redwall recipe, we decided to make some broccoli and

The dictionary definition of the word utopia means an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. It represents a paradise. It is fair to say that every one of us has our own utopia. Whether it is a place where we do not have any essays to write or a place where there is an infinite number of essays to be written is entirely up to you. Each of our utopias have a different feel, smell, taste, sound, and look. My utopia is a place where it is Thanksgiving everyday. What it looks like, the smell, and the taste are the most noticeable about my utopia.

One myth I chose was The Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving feast. Wampanoag had eating popcorn but they had eating other things to but popcorn wasn’t the first. They also ate cranberry sauce. Also they ate bread, meat pies, and boiled pumpkins. Also corn pudding, turkeys, and ducks. Also there were berries, grapes, dried plums, and nuts. The meal included deer, oysters, boiled pumpkin, corn, and cranberries. There was also Cod and Bass. The Pilgrims collected fish, lobsters, oysters, and clams from the shore. Also they ate turkey, cornbread, deer meat, Indian pudding. Also clams and oysters potatoes pumpkin pie. Many tables are filled

There are many reasons why Los Corrales is my favorite spot to dine in on a Sunday night. I never knew about this place until my dad came home one and night and explained to us he had ordered a quesadilla and he couldn’t believe his eyes. My mouth got watery as he explained the quesadilla was as long as twelve inches and filled with beef and melted Chihuahua cheese on the inside and how the cheese was starting to come out the edges of the corn tortilla and, with some hot sauce it couldn’t get any better. Los Corrales has a selection from the sea, American and, Mexican food. When I step foot into this restaurant I feel at home not only because of their very fine made Mexican style of cooking but, because all of the employees are extremely friendly and, glad to help their customers.

A night with my family of 11 people sitting around the dinner table just enjoying each other’s company. As a family we ate dinner together 6 out of 7 days a week around the dinner table together. A normal meal at my house would consist of Puerto Rican rice (Arroz con Gandules) with some kind of meat. Most of the cooking in my house hold was made by my older sister or my dad. Once the food was ready my mom fixed the plates and set the table, she made sure we washed our hands and prayed before we ate. If we had to be excused from the table we had to ask permission before leaving, because it was consider really rude if we did otherwise. We always had fun conversations with each other mainly sharing how

While both sex and sibling behavioral issues aren’t often related to cooking, both Elaine Magarrell and Sally Croft are able to integrate these themes into their poems. In both of the poems “The Joy of Cooking”, by Elaine Magarrell, and “Home Baked Bread”, by Sally Croft, the authors use different types of imagery and figurative language in order to convey a completely different idea through the art of cooking. Both authors use rather explicit ideas and themes in their writing, and use remarkable figurative language and imagery in order to convey their themes.
