In the epic poem, we keep reading about how every time there is a guest in a household, the owner of the house, which is the host, is usually following these rules when they greet their guest. For example, the way the Phaeacians welcomed Odysseus to their house. They gave him food and a bath, offered him a place to sleep in and only then they questioned him about his life back home, although they knew of his name and where he is from. He then shared his story about his journey form Troy, which is something that is often seen in the Odyssey; exchanging stories is part of xenia and counts as a gift. An example of good xenia happening in the epic movie is when the suitors come to Odysseus’ house and Penelope and Telemachus follow the xenia rules; give them food, baths and a place to sleep.

“The Colonel” by Carolyn Forché is poem that seems to flow as a narrative, if you read it you don’t even realize that you are indeed reading a poem. It is an account from a poet who had dinner with a colonel of another country. In a way throughout the poem she is contrasting the seemingly normal aspects of a dinner, and the harsher observations of her surroundings. For example it starts with how the rest of his family was going about their day, the wife bringing in coffee the son being out for the night and the daughter filing her nails. Then it states “There were daily papers, pet dogs, a pistol on the cushion beside him.” She describes it as if the pistol beside him was nothing new and of no real significance, it was just something in the background just like the newspaper.
We should care about our environment by ordering smaller amounts of food when in restaurants. Many people in the restaurants order too much food especially in buffets but when they finish their dinner, we can see there are still have some food left on the dishes. I was one of them who always wasted food when I was done with my meal. I didn’t realize that the food I tossed in the trash could impact our environment and lead to pollution concerns. In the book, Bloom said “it’s easier for today’s children to waste food because they are so removed from its origins.” The reason why we waste food easily is we don’t have the chance to plant, water, or nurse the plants by ourselves, so we don’t know how hard it is to plant and grow the food.

According to Freud's dream theory, in our dreams, we fulfill our conscious wishes and desires. (Van de Castle, 1994) He believed that, a censor blocks inappropriate wishes of sex, guilt, violence, fear, etc. He divided dream into two levels, manifest content and latent content.
Irony is a huge part in Matthews’s lyrics to the song. “Somebody’s going hungry, and someone else is eating out”, most of humanity doesn’t stop to think about the people around them starving while they are out enjoying a dinner with the family, or that not everyone has the money to do the things they are doing. Sometimes, other people’s misfortunes turn out to benefit another person, “Somebody’s heart is broken, and it becomes your favorite song”. Without knowing, someone could be getting entertainment from another’s hurt life, which is ironic. Irony and characterization are bonded together in this song.
Food appears constantly in The Importance of Being Earnest, from cucumber sandwiches to tea and cake to muffins. The function of food in this play is not just to add a detail to an unusually hungry character .As a matter of fact ,it is a reflection of male characters' weakness in the high society In Act 1, Algernon orders a plate of cucumber sandwiches and bread and butter for his expected guests, Lady Bracknell and Gwendolen. He devours gradually all the sandwiches before the guests arrive. After the absence of promised cucumber sandwiches was brought to his attention, Algernon blamed the lack of them on his servant, Lane, not picking them up at the market that morning rather than admitted his own fault. The fact that he quickly came up with a fib to tell in front of his guests obviously shows how used to covering up his eating problem he is.
