Collard greens

Harris, Collard green was not mainly a kind of vegetable, yet it represented the author's ethnic background. Throughout the article, Harris introduced her grandmother to the readers, and most importantly, the White southern taste greens made by her grandma Harris.

It delivers Harris a sense of belonging that I could profoundly correlate to her when I eat white rice. I totally agreed with Harris' point of view with the fact that collard green could tightly connect with her…

In 1997’s film "Soul Food," I was excited to see a movie that didn't represent an American family by typical ruins. "Soul Food" is a triumph because it never loses sight of the importance of family, even as its family members transgress and quarrel.

The color red can be toned down by using coordinate colors like black, various grays, and white. Red can still be used for business or social events but…

If it wasn’t for color maybe most of us would not like art at all. The colors provided in any work of art are totally to the discretion of the one constructing it. In regards to such important element, the colors that always get my attention are: green, orange and purple. We all know that primary colors are: blue, red and green. I believe with much legality as blue as the sky, red is the color of blood and green the color of nature. From these many other secondary colors are formed that are…
