I found this text to be insightful and informative. This writing required me to think in a way that I&#8217;ve never thought before about lobsters and brought a very unique perspective on this specific food. I appreciated his style of writing and how he wasn&#8217;t forcing his point of view and opinions on the reader, but instead merely coming to the audience as a confused individual. His perception of certain things such as the type of people who attend these festivals also made me laugh.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite text that I read outside of class was <em><strong>The Truth About American Sushi No One Wants to Hear\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>by Hannah Cooper. There were several aspects that I liked about this text. For one, I really enjoyed the format that she utilized. She made it organized and easy to follow while also numbering her list. I also thought that this piece was helpful when it came to writing my bibliography on the difference in sushi in Japan and America. This was a short, yet enlightening text that gave me an idea on what specifically is different in each region.<\/p>\n<p>The rhetoric of food is an attempt to put into words what we eat and all that is food. It is a very broad term, but it can cover countless aspects such as the history of food, food culture in certain regions, the production and consumption of food, or the taste of food itself. There are many ways in which to write about food: recipes, reviews, memoirs, blogs, etc.\u00a0I have also learned that food writing doesn&#8217;t have to be presented in the form of words, but can also be viewed as videos.\u00a0Throughout the semester we have covered and researched many different types of genres and looked at the specific meaning and purpose behind each one. I have learned about different styles of writing and how each style can commence different feelings or thoughts within the reader. In general, I believe that the rhetoric of food should make the reader feel emotions whether it be happiness or sorrow through telling a story about food.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My favorite\u00a0text from class was definitely Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace.
