In the second chapter, Barbara made use of Figurative language when conveying her message. Metaphor is a figurative language present in every chapter of the book but more so in the second chapter. She makes use of metaphor as a tool to creatively convey the situation of the low-wage workers. Here are some very good examples. “Repetitive injury of spirit (106)”. The purpose of this metaphor is to paint a picture of the condition of one’s spirit after doing too much work. “all I can see is a…

All the of the meat eaters in the group partook in trying some of the traditional stuffed, grilled, and smoked delicacy. It was then off to Cerámicas Seminario a ceramic workshop, where we got to see how clay pottery ceramics have continued to made and painted by hand by extremely talented local artists. The final stop of the day was at a small chicha house. Chicha or chicha morada is a sweet fermented corn or purple corn drink with a low alcohol content of about 3 percent. We each tried a…

The Greeks love to eat. Many Americans have a fear of coming to Greece because they are afraid of the food. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's not like Mexican food from the far east. Nothing is so spicy you can't eat it and the seasonings they use are the very same ones you have on the spice shelf in your Kitchen. What usually happens when you walk into a restaurant is after finding a table, you will be permitted or encouraged to go to the kitchen to see what they have to offer. There will…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berni_Searle I believe I met Bernie Searle at Green Market Square when I was about six and apparently told her she smelled like curry. I can't remember but apparently it is still as source of great amusement to my family. I do remember studying her in Art Theory and thinking how incredibly brave, fearless and uninhibited she was to be able to expose herself publically for her beliefs and her Art. Bernie Searle is a multi media and performance artist rather than…

Last spring my organic seed supplier had a special on pie pumpkin seeds. Naturally, I decided to grow pie pumpkins for the first year ever. The five vines I planted produced over 100 pounds of pie pumpkins. This left me with a problem: I can only eat so many pumpkin pies. I can only give my neighbors and friends so many pumpkin pies. I did find the pumpkins work well in pumpkin soup (something I've eaten a lot of lately) but I still needed something different. I recently found it: pumpkin…

Sausage Dip Every couple of years my family and I travel up north to spend Easter with my family in Kentucky. After an eight-hour car ride, we would enter the house to a pleasant aroma of pulled pork that my Aunt Kathy had been cooking since that morning. My aunt loved it when we would all visit. She made sure we were fed and we had a place to stay, even if our trip was a last minute decision. One Easter, my mom and aunt were in the kitchen making dinner. They were making a dip I had never…

Maria Elena de Valdes praises Esquivel for “revealing the autonomy and power which Mexican women exercised in the domestic sphere within a larger culture where they were virtually powerless”(87). She adds: “through her focus on domesticity and cooking in her first novel, Esquivel reveals the roles and choices which women used to control their lives, to develop their creativity and to express their individuality.[...] Like Water for Chocolate will have particular resonance with Latin…

spent much of my time at my mamaw and papaw’s house. I remember the front door’s white paint being so old and cracked it resembled the bark of a river birch tree, and stepping into the house you could smell the thick aroma of whatever my papaw was cooking that day. One day in particular I was looming over my papaw’s shoulder as he began to cook a breakfast of fried eggs for my mamaw. He positioned himself to where I could watch and learn how to cook the meal myself. I watched intently as he…
