    Analysis Of Father And Child By Gwen Harwood

    Harwood has clearly articulated the concern for time passing by, and the loss of innocence that comes as a child gains experience, also reflecting the trademark interwoven Romantic style of her poetry. The structure of the poem further delves into this idea of the concern for time. The two symmetrical linked poems place emphasis on how time has moved on and separate childhood from adulthood. The constant use of enjambments reflect the passing of time and the ambiguity of where time disappears to in our vast existence. Harwood’s use of structure and language affirm her ability to transcend time throughout her work, further enhancing its capability to be accepted in different contexts and upholding its textual…

    Mystery Food Investigation

    In this experiment we created standards to be able to compare a mystery substance off of. We were tasked to investigate a murder that took place by analyzing a man's last meal to find out where he had ate based on the content of his stomach. Before we could test the mystery substance we had to establish standards, so we could compare off of them. Based on the results of this lab, we believed that the victim last ate at Buffalo Wild Wings (Veliz).…

    Analysis Of The Poem Like Before You Were Mine

    This poem, like Before You Were Mine, is autobiographical, but more obviously so. Mrs. Tilscher is a real person, who taught Carol Ann Duffy in her last year at junior school. The poem is about rites of passage, the transition (move or change) from childhood to adolescence and the things we learn at school, from our teachers and from our peers. Duffy also associates the oppressive feeling we have in humid weather with the physical changes of puberty. Leaving primary school for the last time is like an escape we are eager to make but which takes us from safety into a dangerous unknown. Throughout the poem Duffy refers to "you". She means herself as she was in Mrs. Tilscher's class in the 1960s. But by writing in the second person she invites us to share her experience. Most readers will have had experiences like those Carol Ann Duffy depicts in this poem.…

    Soul Food Research Paper

    When you think of soul food what is the first thing to come to mind? I think of southern foods as flavorful spicy foods like gumbo or jambalaya. Soul food has been around since the slave days and is described as a type of foods that are associated with African-American culture in the southern United States. Soul food recipes were typically a reflection of the chef’s creativity, after the abolition of slavery, most African Americans lived in poverty, so recipes continued to make use of cheaper ingredients. Of course, this isn’t entirely a black/white issue. Historically, there hasn’t been much of a difference between the foods eaten by poor black Southerners and poor white Southerners. They usually used meats like chicken, liver etc. newly freed…

    Ap Literature -Delicious Cuisine

    Delicious cuisine is definitely something the whole world is interested in, and a person’s taste for food can often reveal his lifestyle, personality, and even status. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s Prologue to The Canterbury Tales, we can learn about the Franklin’s hospitality and hedonistic lifestyle through Chaucer’s portrait of the Franklin’s refined love of exquisite cuisine. Through his lofty diction, use of poetic devices, and imagery, Chaucer revealed the Franklin’s love for pure food, hospitality, purity, and honorable actions. Chaucer cleverly unveiled the Franklin's personality, social status, and lifestyle through his vivid description of the Franklin and use of metaphor and allusion. Living in the Medieval time period, during which delicious cuisine was precious and scarce due to the lack of resources, a person’s appearance could tell us a lot about his or her lifestyle and social status without speaking a word. Chaucer must have similar ideas about a person’s appearance, for he has dedicated many lines to describe the Franklin's appearance, which can lead us to fathom his eating habit, wealth and even his personality. “As white as,” Chaucer writes, “any daisy shone his beard;”(312) White is also associated with purity and nobility, and the fact that his beard is as white and shiny as a beautiful flower suggests that the Franklin loves pure things, specifically pure and prime food. Moreover, Franklin’s “sanguine complexion” suggests that is very healthy, unlike the pale faces of poor, malnourished people. His reddish face is also a result of his hedonistic lifestyle, for he loves to drink wine everyday. Chaucer goes on to emphasize the Franklin‘ hedonistic lifestyle: “Always to pleasure would his custom run, for he was Epicurus’ own son”(315). Epicurus is a Greek philosopher who taught that happiness is the goal of life; Chaucer’s use of allusion makes it clear that the Franklin has inherited his love of overindulgence from his “father”, who thinks that…

    Essay On Food In The 1900's

    The American health system in the beginning of the 1900’s took a dramatic change on how food was to be handled, to prevent diseases and keep freshness. It a lot has helped change and eliminate diseases. Some conditions are different though, what some food is made with, and any unchecked places of service. Fast food going from conspiracy to not so much of a crazy thought. And then people put some food, not where it's supposed to be. To a new generation of animals.

    Native American Food Essay

    In the late 1800’s Native Americans treasured food, but the cooking appliances were rudimentary. Native American food and cuisine have historical significances, because it has changed the cooking industry today. Today we eat unhealthy, easy, quick meals. Farming methods allowed crops to grow on the same soil. It was hard, tiring, and miserable to work in the hot sun, trying to catch your family a meal. Today, microwaves, ovens, and mixers make it effortless to make a meal in minutes. Even though today we have advanced utensils to cook with, meals are less healthy and higher in fat content. Native Americans created traditions and culture due to resources surrounding their food in the late 1800’s which has lost…
