Hands down one of my favorite homemade treats would have to be chocolate chip cookies. From the smell of the kitchen to the gooey, hot cookies coming out of the oven, making chocolate chip cookies makes any day a good one. Oftentimes, my mother and I make the cookies together to enjoy some conversation and time while making a delicious treat. Chocolate chip cookies not only bring my mother and me together, but they provide us with an enjoyable treat. Not to mention that they allow us to share them with our entire family once we have our tasty, finished product.
In my opinion, however, Mary Todd Lincoln’s sugar cookie tasted absolutely lip smacking. To start off, we have Mrs. Woody’s sugar cookie. Before I started to taste her cookie, I could smell a sweet aroma from it. It automatically gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling I usually get during the winter time. Her cookie looked significantly sugary than Mary Todd Lincoln’s cookie did.
Tea Cake “…five-thirty a tall man came into the place. Janie was leaning on the counter making aimless pencil marks on a piece of wrapping paper. She knew she didn’t know his name, but he looked familiar. ‘Good evenin’, Mis’ Starks,’ he said with a sly grin as if they had a good joke together. She was in favor of the story that was making him laugh before she even heard it.” Their eyes were watching God is a novel written by Zora Neale Hurston.
In contrast, a couple who is dating would be seated next to each other engaged in a lengthy, spirited conversation. This sets the somber tone in that if their relationship had been different, then the story may have had an alternative ending. The description of the birthday cake uses powerful language, because Brush has a deeper meaning behind the cake. In the 1940s, going out to eat and having a public birthday celebration was reserved for the most monumental Occasion. The cake that the wife bestowed upon him was small and glossy, but had a compelling meaning behind the wife’s loving gesture to the husband.
Thesis Statement: I am now going to teach you guys how to bake them so you can share them with your family and friends like I shared it with mine. There are three main steps in baking the chocolate chip cookies! Attention getter: The story of the Chocolate chip cookie is really an interesting one. In fact, did you know that the invention itself was really an accident? Nope, well, I didn't think so.
The first concept that I came across that really had me make a connection to something I had read was “Nice to Eat with You: Acts of Communion.” This chapter instantly drew me in because it really made me think of the word communion in a new light. He explains “communion doesn’t need to be holy. Or even decent (Foster 9).” The word communion can just simply have to do with how characters are or are not getting along. The work of literature that came to mind while reading this chapter was a short story called “Birthday Party,” written by Katharine Brush. In this short story a husband and wife are out for dinner to celebrate the husband’s birthday.
Brian Kwong WL201 Charles Pace 10/23/2013 Reading Journal #2: Esquivel’s Like Water for Chocolate In Esquivels novel “Like Water for Chocolate” each chapter is introduced with a different type of food that relates to its respective chapter. Specifically, Chapter Two explains the ingredients for making a wedding cake as well as the filling, which is made with “150 grams of apricot paste” and “150 grams of granulated sugar” is closely linked with Tita’s memory of “the afternoon they made the marmalade”. This illustrates that there is a strong connection between food and memory in this novel. Food as a means of communication is a common and important theme in this novel as it connects Tita’s food to her emotions. For example, the apricot paste communicates her passion for Pedro; on the other hand the whiteness of the granulated sugar makes her feel the emptiness cause from her sister.
Carolyn was asked to sit down in the chair and pick a treat from a tray of marshmallows, cookies, and pretzel sticks. Carolyn chose the marshmallow. Although she’s now forty-four, Carolyn still has a weakness for those air-puffed balls of corn syrup and gelatine. “I know I shouldn’t like them,” she says. “But they’re just so delicious!” A researcher then made Carolyn an offer: she could either eat one marshmallow right away or, if she was willing to wait while he stepped out for a few minutes, she could have two marshmallows when he returned.
You grab one because you can’t take wait any longer; as your mouth starts to water over the idea of just how amazing it will finally taste when once you take that first bite. As your teeth slowly begin to sink in, the cookie starts to break away from the rest of itself dragging along a few of those little chocolate chips. Once the bite is finally in your mouth, the taste of the chocolate chips mixed with the sugary vanilla cookie begin to melt away in your mouth taking you to a place where no bad days like today ever exist. Where the days are perfect and your only problem is that you don’t have enough cookies to eat. The warm gooeyness of the chocolate chips puts a smile on your face as they melt away on your taste buds.
Comparison and Contrast of Two Dark Romanticists Although Contemporary American poetry is nowadays respected for having accumulated an archive of transcendental poems written by internationally acclaimed authors, it wasn't until the appearance of poets such as Poe and Melville, that the western world halted in their mockery of infant America's writing. Both Poe and Melville were Romanticists who incorporate many dark elements into their works and had thus come to be known as Dark Romanticists. Although the two authors share many common themes and elements that constitute Dark Romanticism such as death and irony, their rhetorical styles differ greatly in mood, diction, and setting. First of all, the underlying elements shown throughout both Poe's The Raven and Melville's Shiloh: A Requiem are undoubtedly death and irony. For instance, “Is there – is there balm in Gilead?
