We have become accustomed to a standard of perfection with how our food looks and tastes that we do not stop for a moment and think of where it comes from, its natural origin. It is to the point where a mere speck of dirt on a vegetable can evoke a sense of disgust from the consumer. In his essay, David Suzuki notes how, collectively, “We have become so used to clean food presented in plastic packages that we no longer think about where it comes from” (308). This jab at first world dependence paints a picture of the way we consume and perceive aesthetics in food, as well as the disconnected relationship between man and nature; “we are no longer of the land” (309). The food we consume is a gift from the Earth, a memento of the precious connection between the natural world around us that is often forgotten.

Although it was acceptable back then because the norms for speaking and vocabulary were much higher than they are now, Barry is just relating to today’s average vocabulary. His style is centered on being informal and conversational. He is able to inform his audience of the fallacies of his kitchen and living room appliances and talk to them like they’re human, rather than talking at them as if he was giving a lecture. People don’t have that long of an attention span.

In the text there is also a sentence such as ‘the boys polished them with their spoons’ this quotation is showing that they were underfed in the workhouse and shows that they were suffering with starvation. The quote can also come across as quite emotive as it makes us feel very grateful for the food that we get and should be lucky for the food we get. The metaphor used makes the audience to create an image of what’s happening and can make audience feel very light hearted. In the other text they have also showed negativity views on food such as ‘dreaded bowl of gruel’ this portrays that they did not look forward to eating the food, this also shows the setting of the place very negative as it doesn’t seem very luxurious and shows that although they didn’t get any more food they still ate it because they had nothing else to eat and they needed to as they were suffering from starvation already and needed enough protein to stay healthy.

In the same way, salt type of ministry can affect large groups of people at one time while light types get to the individual.
Chelsea Hobbs Eng. 101/TTh J.Hess 11/13/2012 The Myth of the Melting Pot and its Identity The Myth of the Melting Pot is realistic and almost unobtainable at the same time, today’s society cannot coexist together but literally are a bunch of multiracial and cultural ethnicities living in; the same area in the same country and on the same earth. When you think of what the Melting Pot would stand for it would be like a stew like soup or a gumbo, and in this gumbo or stew all components come together to bring out the spices and textures in this pot so not only are there tons of different and unique ingredients they create a harmonious taste that brings to life the dish. The American Dream was always sought out to be the mainstream
We then gather around the table to bow our heads and say grace before we eat the soup. The soup is represents freedom. On this day even if you could not find the time to make your own soup, you would always find a neighbor who was willing to share.
