The first cooking show I watched was Chopped. Chopped is a competition show where contestants are given a diverse array of ingredients that are unusual and don’t necessarily go well together. Some of the strange ingredients the contestants were given included pink marshmallow peeps, a chocolate bunny, and also a lamb leg. The idea is to create a dish using all the ingredients you are given to make a dish. There are three rounds, appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Each round one contestant is eliminated or “chopped” from the competition until two contestants are left standing in the dessert round. The show is hosted by a man, Ted Allen and there were three judges, this episode there was a male and two females. The contestants were equally distributed in respect to gender, two male, two female, also

This show began with a number of very brightly colored shots of different fruits and vegetables as well as a few entrees in the mix. The music that played was very upbeat and in the slides she was in she was enjoying herself with friends. On this episode she was preparing lunch for a friend in exchange for him redesigning her garden. On the menu was Pea soup, roasted red pepper and gat cheese sandwiches, and for dessert she prepared a carrot and pineapple cake. I noticed throughout the episode that her instructions for the audience were easy and detailed enough to follow along with. I think this style went along with the personality she portrayed which was a happy and laid back kind of person. The presentation of her meal was on all white dishes, the dishes matched the décor of her kitchen. She was very adamant on using fresh herbs from her garden which was a feature that episode. As far as gender norms go I think she followed the stereotype expected of the woman very closely in terms of cooking style, utensils, and menu items. A light soup and fresh sandwich with a dense cake for
Each of these shows feature teams and individuals made up equally of men and women. The media is a wonderful way to showcase how both men and women can partake in baking and cooking. Young children who watch the shows can have an opportunity to see that regardless of their gender, if someday they want to grow up to be professionals in the culinary arts they have no restrictions. The easy-bake oven may have had a negative cultural appeal, but now with a gender neutral model it can inspire young children of both genders to not be held back cultural appropriations. Cooking is not something that is just for women. When the easy-bake oven only featured a boy’s model that looks in disdain upon men cooking, it shone a light upon how underrated men are in the kitchen. Although the Queasy Bake Cookerator is no longer sold in stores, it seems to still insinuate that boys or men can not be seen as serious culinarians; which is most certainly not the case as seen on most Food Network shows. Now, the Food Network is a message of hope for young children everywhere in contrast to my inspiration as a child which was the easy-bake
In this show there are four chefs to show a variety of everyday ingredients into a unprecedented three-course meal. In every episode, four chefs contend. The show is split into 3 sphericals; in every round, the chefs square measure given a basket containing between 3 and 5 unrelated ingredients, and also the dish every rival prepares should contain all of those ingredients. The competitors are given access to a storeroom and icebox, that is equipped a good type of different ingredients. every spherical is times, and also the chefs should cook their dishes and plate them before the time elapses.
What would you have done if you were stranded on a raft with two other men for 44 days with provisions to last less than 3 days? This is one of the easiest things Louie Zamperini had to endure in “Unbroken”, by Laura Hillenbrand. The most important thing to be learned from the life of Louis Zamperini is to never crack under pressure, because of his survival on a raft, how he withstood the cruelty of the bird, and how he survived through the torture of Japanese POW camps.
Robert H. Schuller once stated, “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do.” In the novel Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, Louie struggles with fitting in anywhere and staying out of trouble. He was constantly doing things to cause trouble and making mistakes. Pete, Louie’s brother pushes him to run to escape his troubles. Throughout Zamperini’s life, he gains perseverance which gave him the ability to survive through life.
“If I knew about the things I was going to endure before I was captured, I would kill myself.” (Louie Zamperini). The biography Unbroken was written by Laura Hillenbrand was told about the famous Olympic athlete and World War Two POW Louie Zamperini. Louie was held in a number of POW camps across the Pacific and witnessed the true horrors of the Japanese guards who enforced the inhumane standards throughout these camps. Louie shared his experiences about the endeavor and became an icon back in the United States, but was still unraveled from his time in the camps and his captors. POW camps were the areas of holding prisoners who had been captured and the POWs were supposed to be protected by the Geneva Convention about quality of life and labor, but the Japanese thought otherwise of the quality of life POWs should have while apprehended.
People were mistreated during WWII and were tortured in POW camps. Louie Zamperini, a character and a real person from the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, was in the army during WWII and had to go through the torture of being a prisoner at a camp in Japan. In the book Unbroken, Louie was going to be a famous Olympic runner until the Olympics were cut short when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and caused World War II to start. Louie drafted in the air force and crashed on a mission; he had to live on a raft for 47 days without any food or water. He was washed ashore on a Japanese island and became a prisoner of war. He then had to go through many painful experiences until the war ended September 2nd, 1945. Internees also had to go through harsh times during the war. Both POWs
War is a state of armed conflict between different nations, states or groups (War).No one can think of a time when the United States has not been in a war because this nation is constantly fighting. The element of war is seen throughout the novel Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, it is seen throughout the movie as well. In Unbroken whenever planes went missing there were search planes to look for those them. In some unfortunate cases, “Search planes appear to have been more likely to go down themselves than find the men they were looking for” (Hillenbrand 91). During this time of war in the novel, if some of the
Nowadays, phones have been glued to our hands. But how many people would be attracted to their phones if they know they are being tracked?

Beyond athletes, Cutter High School also contains problematic coaches. Part of the reason T.J. doesn’t participate on other sports teams at school is because of the coaching staff. He explains, “Coaches have tried to get me to turn out for sports since junior high. Sometimes they’re insistent and sometimes downright nasty…even to the point of calling me a traitor” (11). These are grown men who place an overwhelming amount of importance on their sports and can’t look past their goal of winning. T.J. refers to Coach Benson, the football coach, and Coach Roundtree, the basketball coach, noting that at some point he’s sure the two coaches would “retreat to the time-tested and highly grating tool of public humiliation as a motivator” (12). Besides the way this coaching style grates personally on T.J., it shows a lack of tolerance from these coaches as well as a lack of respect for the very

"What can fingerprints mean when they're not necessarily yours?" stated Lev in the novel “Unwind” written by Neal Shusterman. This occurs when a person receives the body parts from a teen who was unwound. Unwinding is a process in which a teenager is “divided” into several pieces. The concept was created in a Civil War that occurred which was also known as the Heartland War. The war had three sides in total, the pro-life, pro-choice, and the remains of the American military, which tried to stop the two sides from killing each other.
it just depends on what they are cooking”. (TvTropes). When they are done cooking that is when the judge shows up and there is only one judge which isn’t Alton it’s usually Jet Tila. Before they judge the competitors food they are sequestered room that is sound proof so they don’t know what sabotages they were given to which if any. The criterion the judge goes by is the resemblance of what was said to be made, taste and presentation. Whatever money you don’t spend out of the $25,000 at the end when you win is what you take home so spend wisely. Cutthroat kitchen comes on every Thursday at 10 pm. This show is really fun to watch because of the sabotages that they give each
To sacrifice is to give up something important for something even better, which may cause pain; but, in the end, it will be totally worth it. I have witnessed my own friends performing such a damaging act that hurt me as individual, mentally, and has made me begin to struggle in daily activities. I have allowed myself to become stressed out, ignore the healthier relationships in my life, and have noticed a great decrease in my self-esteem. However, I have learned that these problems were or can be created due to the reaction and response I express. This reaction has both hurt me and helped me build as an individual. Some people respond by getting revenge on the other person, which ends up making him or her just as disrespectful as the other; while I have realized it is better to forgive rather than hold a grudge. I also have realized forgiving someone makes me appear more respectable, and it ultimately places me in a higher place than the individual I am dealing with; forgiveness may be a painful thing to go through, but in the long run, I have benefited from it in numerous ways.

An article caught my eye because it was about my hometown New York City and I found it fascinating to read about a restaurant in Manhattan called The Monkey Bar. So you’re probably wondering what is so special or interesting about this particular place.
