Although some may say that Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are is inappropriate for children, this book should not be banned because the author uses a wild child’s journey to create a metaphor for dealing with anger that every child experiences through consequences and how parents’ love for their children is unconditional. In this book, Max is sent to bed without dinner for being disruptive and causing mischief. As a consequence, his mom sends him to his room without dinner. His anger transforms his room into a jungle as he heads out on a journey to where the wild things are. Upon arrival, Max is greeted by the wild things as they intimidate them with their inhuman features. These characters

Are mothers in prison not good mothers? Are all divorced families unhappy? Are these myths true? Myths are traditionally false beliefs or ideas. In other words, there are mothers in prison who love their children and there are divorced families who are better off separated. Many people believe in myths that cannot be proven. In the essay, “The Long Good-Bye: Mother’s Day in Federal Prison”, Amanda Coyne writes about her visit to see her sister at the Federal Prison Camp. She describes the environment in which the inmates live their day-to-day lives and even though these “convict-moms” are locked up and separated from their children, they still care and show them love (Coyne 56). In the article, “Stone Soup”, Barbara Kingsolver writes about how in today’s society a divorced marriage equals a “broken” family (66). She feels that even though a couple might be divorced, there can still be a “happy ending”. Both authors are able to dismantle these myths by

Yeganeh by the author is one of the highlights of the essay. I can almost picture his gesticulations and facial expressions as the anonymous writer lets him go on what was very likely a five minute rant. In it Mr. Yeganeh covers everything from the ingredients in his soups to the ingredients included in in other supposed “chefs” soups’ around the city. I found myself chuckling when he related how he fired someone after discovering an errant mushroom on the floor.

James McCann’s book, Stirring the Pot: A History of African Cuisine, analyzed the procedures of crafting African cuisines derived from various parts of Africa. McCann wants to illustrate to his audience what African people have consumed over time and examine how their food patterns changed with their geographical location, the seasons, and historical interactions. McCann used a multidisciplinary methodological approach in writing the book. McCann employed a variety of sources including anthropological studies, sociological studies, cookbooks about African dishes, European accounts of African food making, and historical accounts by African observers. McCann used sub-altern as his theoretical approach for the majority of the book. McCann discussed techniques that were similar to a reading against the grain approach while observing recipes when trying to figure out the origin of a dish. McCann divided his book into four sections. The first section was titled, Basic Ingredients. In this first section McCann discussed the staple crops and spices that exist within Africa. Also McCann analyzed the seasons, wet and dry, and how they affect African cuisines during their respective time periods. Stirring the National Stew: Food and National identity in Ethiopia, was the second section of the book. In the second section McCann analyzed a feast in 1887 that was created by the Ethiopian rulers. McCann also examined the history and transitions of Ethiopian cuisines. The third

The reason the term “claimed” is used is due to the fact that this particular dish may be believed to have originated in many other countries as well. As such, the recipe, and more specifically the ingredients used, will most likely differ based upon the country and region that it is originated from. With regard to the Cuban version of chicken soup, the same is comprised of thirteen (13) ingredients, to wit: olive (oil); onion (red and green); cilantro; cumin (ground); wheat (flour); chicken (stock and thigh); cassava; calabash; potato (red); plantain; lemon (juice); salt; and, pepper. Notwithstanding the fact that these ingredients are customarily used to make the Cuban version of chicken soup, these same ingredients were not all domesticated in the region that Cuba is located in.
