Nestled in the foothills on the western slope of the Sierra Nevadas adjacent to a beautiful river, La Bemba, California is an insignificant town with a population that is under two hundred people. In this small town, there was an automobile repair shop with two bays; the smell of gasoline and grease hang in the air and the owner where Jim Bob Lovejoy, a short, pudgy bearded specimen who dropped out of high school when he was fourteen, can fix anything with a motor.

Being the son of Don Smith, who was a local farmer that grew and supplied La Bemba with the grains that the bakery used in various types of bread and other goods, Luke was expected to inherit the family farm. He constantly aided his father on the farm and was being shown how to run the place should he ever have to step up. John’s father, Nick Rivera, was the butcher and John grew up being taught all of the way to butcher anything that came through his father’s shop. Anything from a hog to the occasional horse and rabbit all passed through the butcher shop. Leroy’s mother, who maintained the bakery where he was taught how to make bread, doughnuts, various rolls, and biscuits, raised Leroy while schooling him to do all of the things she had known her entire life. Martha Jenkins, Leroy’s adopted mother, was strict in her ways of baking and treated her craft as if it were a divine gift. Consequently, Leroy deeply understood every process that went into making every type food for the town. Not many others could tell if the foods were cooked just right or if the right amounts of each ingredient was in the product, just by tasting

About an hour and a half passed when he saw that he was heading toward a familiar supply store. It was the first sign that he was getting closer to his uncle’s houes. He quickened his step and finally was about 5 yards away when he heard an angry shout come from the closed front door of the store.
So began a thrice-daily ritual on the raft, with pumpkin pie and spaghetti being the favorite subjects. The men came to know louise’s recipes so well that if louie skipped a step or forgot an ingredient, Phil, and sometimes Mac, would quickly correct him and make him start over.” Instead of just saying “they were starving” Hillenbrand instead talks about how they fantasized about Louie’s Mother's cooking. She uses detail of the cooking to develop how hungry they are and to show the lack of food they have. I know when I'm hungry I often think about my mother's mash potatoes and ham, and how she puts everything together and cooks.

It was a quite a normal fall day out here in Louisiana. The year was 1930, my daughter and I had been out working in the barnyard. “Lauren, work faster the guest will be here soon for Thanksgiving dinner.” I exclaimed to Lauren as she was cleaning the pigsty. Soon we were to have our family and friends come to visit us for Thanksgiving. I don’t necessarily like having guest, since they’re always a lot of cleaning do. Actually, cleaning wasn’t the problem since we lived in a very small house out in the country. The problem was food was very scarce for us, so we worked extremely hard. You see, out here in Louisiana it wasn’t easy to be wealthy so half of the town was what you would call ‘poor’.We can’t provide them with a lot of food,

The Ayala Case presented in Case 2 from Chapter nine explains that Anissa “was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia (174),” at the age of sixteen. None of Anissa’s family members or candidates from the National Marrow Donor Program was a match with her bone marrow. The only option left was for Anissa’s parents to conceive a child with compatible bone marrow. “…The odds of having a child that could save Anissa’s life (175)” were only 6.4%.

The movie then fast forwards to a stormy night when Babette, a French refugee, came to them for help. A good friend of hers and former acquaintance of theirs, Achille Papin, recommended the sisters to Babette. Papin knew the kindness of the two and knew they would take a stranger into their home, especially a stranger in need of shelter and love. In France, Babette had been a world class chef. She loved to cook, it was her passion. When she began to work for the sisters (for free) she no longer was able to cook gourmet meals. She was only given a budget to prepare dried cod and ale-bread, the staple diet for those who lived in Jutland. Even though she could only prepare simple, cheap, and rather unpalatable dishes, she still put her heart and soul into each dish. Her love of food was apparent if you watched her cook, she took time to add spices which she picked herself or had specially ordered to the corner store to add to the normally bland dishes and made them her own. The differences in the food was apparent when Babette was unable to cook the soup for one of the elderly followers, so the sisters prepared the dish instead. The was an obvious look of disappointment on that man when he looked into the dish and realized it was not Babette who had made it. Her presence with
