Tamales made small or big, with green salsa or red, pork or chicken, each one of them were even better than the last. At a young age, I was rapidly taught to help make them. First was to make the masa or the dough by mixing chicken broth and the flour together. Then my mother would hand me a spoon and instructed me to spread the masa onto a corn husk. She’d say to make sure I spread it evenly and to not add too much or too little. My mother an expert at making them made it seem so easy to…

replay. He shows this with more than just the content of his poem but also the style it is written in. "Ritual of multigraph, paper-clip, comma, Endless duplication of lives and objects. And I have seen dust from the walls of institutions, Finer than flour, alive, more dangerous than silica." (Roethke lines 7-10) These few lines start to reveal the true feelings of the office worker. Cynthia Lee Kotana in her analysis of "Dolor" uses the metaphor of the office worker having the same feelings as…

killed their cattle. Whilst doing this they also established a liking for the settlers’ supplies and began to take their flour and other food causing a serious problem for the colony.

On the night of the 29th of April 1833 once again the Noongar people broke into this time a Fremantle store to steal flour. The caretaker shot at them and Yagan’s brother was badly injured and died in jail a few days after. This…

I began to notice after reading this passage that she wishes the events leading up to the affair never happened. The narrator says “Nothing else could have happened between us if three weeks later I had not returned a box of farina with flour-beetles to Bonno’s Food Warehouse…” (Edelstein par 2). Then she goes on to say “ How could I have intended for your husband to be right ahead of me in the checkout, buying formula and plastic diapers?” (Edelstein par 2). Throughout the paragraph the…

Additionally, France has informed the Zambian government that if any of the American food aid is brought into their system, they will not accept any more Zambian imports. There is a genuine fear amongst…
