Blog Entry about fairy tale
In the Fairy-tale, Jack and The Beanstalk, there is an important food theme riddled across the book from beginning to end which is hunger and hers why. in the beginning of the story they describe the main character jack and his mother very poor and only depending on a cow that produces milk. jack sells the cow for magic beans which in turn gives him access to riches like gold and a goose that lays golden eggs which provide him and his mother a steady income of money and food. the same theme can be found in the fairy-tale Hansel and Gretel where a brother and sister go deep into the forest of a house filled with candy but also home to a witch. it describes of how desperate people get when they get hungry that they'll but their own lives in danger. Main theme between these two fairy-tales is hunger drives people to do ridiculous things which for the most part most people can agree on.





Redo To introduction Paragraph
In Michael Pollan’s Article “Out of the Kitchen, onto the fire” he talks a great deal of how he grew up with his mother and family watching Julia Child in “The art of French Cooking” and how the family dynamic of that time was more with siting down and enjoying meals with the family. Pollan's Statement"Cooking is no longer obligatory, and for many people, women especially, that has been a blessing." Seems to suggest that women are responsible as the chef in the house and later on in the article suggest that women are to blame from less home cooked meals and family meals. Men are just as responsible for the cooking in the house as women and in some households men mostly hold the chef position. Pollan's article seems very narrow minded and after interviewing My mother and father who both cook gives evidence why.
