We’re
heading into a season of celebrations and family gatherings, many of which are
centered around food. I’d like us to
take some time to think and write about our connections to food—memories,
opinions, preferences, experiences. I
can think of all sorts of directions this contemplation might take you…
Please write a piece of your
choice inspired by food. The piece might
be 300-500 words, any genre. I thought of a few ideas, but there isn’t
really a wrong answer here, so feel free to shape this assignment however you
see fit. This might take a really
personal slant for you, or you can take a more observational, factual approach
if you’re more comfortable. Include an image.
Just a few possible approaches:
a
short essay re: the story behind a
family food or tradition
re:
what Thanksgiving really means
re: a person in your life who has shaped you
through food
re: a
childhood food memory
a
longer poem re: a memorable meal
re:
a delicious food
re:
a disgusting food
re:
a cook at work
re:
the scene in a kitchen
re:
the scene around a dinner table
re:
gratefulness (or lack thereof)
re:
a childhood food memory
a
recipe for an abstract concept
(love, disaster, family, the perfect Thanksgiving)
(love, disaster, family, the perfect Thanksgiving)
a
letter to someone you’re thankful for
a letter to a cook you know and love praising his/her food
a letter to thank the host for all the work put into the family feast
a short
story re: a Thanksgiving gone wrong
a short story re: an epiphany about thankfulness or appreciation
