The selected reading that I liked the most this semester was the Guy Fieri restaurant review. \u00a0I thought it was just shockingly funny and definitely a bit too dramatic. \u00a0Over the course of the semester I read many restaurant reviews but this one stood out to me by far. \u00a0The tone that the author uses and the repeated rhetorical questions make this review a ridiculously entertaining read. \u00a0The self-chosen reading that I got the most out of was Jennifer Lee’s “The Search For General Tso.” \u00a0I thought this article was super interesting because it talked about the origins of the popular Chinese dish and gave me a completely different perspective on it.<\/p>\n

The term “rhetoric of food” is very broad and encompassing, but after this semester has finished I am able to come to terms with its definition a lot better. \u00a0Writers express their thoughts about food in many ways. \u00a0Some choose to review restaurants and pass on recommendations to other people. \u00a0Others write recipes, or write about the history of food and culture. \u00a0There are many different mediums, but some that we discussed in class are print, blog, online journal article, podcast, and movie. \u00a0Writers use a mix of formal and informal language, depending on their intended audience. \u00a0At first this semester I didn’t know anything about the rhetoric of food, but I now tremendously more\u00a0about the strategies and skills used by authors to create food texts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
