Compare the ways the poet’s present different attitudes towards eating out in the poem, eating out and the sweet menu Both poems show different attitudes and ideas to eating out. In ‘eating out’ by U A Fanthorpe, the poem tells us about a family dining out over time, while each meal is getting more sophisticated. It shows the speaker reminiscing to her childhood when eating out with her parents, from when she first got introduced to it and so on. The speaker informs us that to her eating out is a ‘ritual’ as she has been brought up that way with her father in charge. In the poem ‘The sweet menu’ by Jeremy Hughes, it shows us a different scenario of the speaker dining out alone, which reflects his loneliness.
She often cooked for and entertained her fellow campaigners, and for the first time was building her reputation as a cook in addition to an activist. Waters eventually moved to France where she began introduced going straight to the farms to get her fresh food. She noticed how the other chef’s around her were depriving themselves of fresh food. “It’s not enough to liberate yourself politically, to liberate yourself sexually - you
Ruth realized that as much as she loved cooking that it made her under appreciate her father and not take time to learn about him or his interest because cooking was the big thing to her and her mother in their family. Doug learned that he didn’t have the family structure as Ruth did and he always yearned for family would listen and talk to him about his accomplishes and things he enjoyed. Ruth’s whole outlook on this chapter is to inform us about a part in her life as she does in every other chapter. It’s very hard to relate with Ruth’s made point in this chapter because I have never experienced a feeling like Ruth has. So I cannot really relate to how she feels.
She and her husband, John Proctor, are sitting down for dinner. In this scene it is made quite obvious how their relationship is different from that of a normal married couple. They are making small talk about things such as seeding the farm and the weather. Some of Arthur Miller’s stage directions make it seem as though Elizabeth tries to impress her husband, in simple ways such as dinner. For example, one line of stage directions says, “She sits and watches him taste it.” (52) She made a rabbit for dinner and was watching her husband eat it to see his reaction.
The African Americans would eat chicken, pork, beef, deer, possum, frogs, squirrels, and raccoons. They would prepare the food all in one single pot. Most of the meals were included with some rice. The slaves would have to give some of the food they grew to their slave masters. I believe that this movie was a also good for our class to watch.
A.P. Literature 10 August 2011 In “Roosting Hawk” and “Golden Retrievals,” the speakers portray the world through there own perspective. The persona in this poem is coming from two contrasting animals; the speakers are a hawk and a golden retriever. The authors use numerous literary devices such as diction, syntax, imagery, and themes to reveal the diverse views of these personified animals. In “Roosting Hawk,” the author uses diction to expose the arrogance of the hawk by making him appear to look almost God-like or divine.
Even Curley. I know where they all went.” This shows us that Curley’s wife is aware of what men in the society are like but she still decides to stay with him because she had no choice – highlights the inferior of women. Another way that Curley tries to prove himself to the ranchmen is by constantly finding opportunities to vigorously pick a fight – especially with Lennie to demonstrate his power against everyone else. “No big son-of-a-bitch is gonna laugh at me.” Shows us that he does this to resent himself from being a smallish man, this can reflect on him knowing that his size is his weakness in comparison to Lennie’s bear-like physical features. All this gives the reader an idea that men in the 1930s were careless and they would do anything to prove their authority – no matter what.
The road mender says, “ Tall as a spectre” that quote gave away Gaspard’s life. The road mender thought he was doing a good thing but giving out a generalization, but the Marquis knew who it was. The action that the Jacques took with respect to Darnay was to kill his uncle. Another thing that was horrible that did was that they took Gabelle into imprisonment. The Jacques thought it would make Charles Darnay’s life a lot more better to be able to live his life without the over bearing shadow of someone trying to kill him.
He means that if the venture needs you to be anyone else but yourself, it will lead to no good. This reveals to me that Thoreau believes strongly in the individual, being yourself, and seeking your own path. This quote is also applicable to modern life because many ventures nowadays require you to conform for some purpose. The second aphorism I remembered is “Our life is frittered away by detail...Simplicity, simplicity.” Thoreau means that our focus and attention to detail now in society and culture do nothing but to waste our lives away needlessly. He believes simplicity is the better choice.
Lastly, democracy took over some republicanism ideals such as unity and more freedom of the people. These three different ideals help choose which would be the best fit for Martin Guerre, the character in the book The Return of Martin Guerre. The story of “Martin Guerre” is a tale of a man who demonstrates complete disrespect of the traditional patriarchal society. He leaves his family and travels the world and comes back to a man who has stolen his identity and who deceived his entire family including his wife-Bertrande, son- Sanxi, and four sisters and brother, Pierre. Martin was a man who enjoyed moving around and not staying in one place, he did not believe in the traditional beliefs of patriarchy and hierocracy, he enjoyed activities such as sword fighting, acrobatics, he was also said to have a spell cast on him that he that made him impotent.
