In today’s English Composition class we watched the Netflix series, Chef's Table: Francis Mallman, where Chef Francis Mallman takes us on a journey of his life as a chef, and as a family man. This life is full of freedom and excitement which takes place all over the world. This episode fits in the narrative mode in many ways. It has a lot of description that almost makes it feel like you are there with Chef Mallman. It is full of exposition as the episode fills in the gaps by telling you how Chef Mallman got to where he is now. The episode even has a narrator at times telling what and why Chef Mallman treated cooking like this. Mallman’s story connects to the hiraeth story I am writing in class because he has found is home, and he wants to explain all the moments that led him to find it. “Patagonia deepest rooted feeling for home,” Mallman says. The feeling of being away and exploring, but being with a team and working well together is what home is for Chef Mallman. Some major ideas and themes from this episode were just to get up off your chair and go do something. Be free and use your freedom to the full extent. That is a huge thing in the composition course because we have a lot of freedom in the class. Being productive, and always working as a team in an environment where everyone feels the same. Everytime we have to comment on a blog or do a blog we are all doing that together as a team. We can write as many blogs as we want, but we are all supportive towards each other and that's a team. “Fire is like love,” Mallman says. This is such a great metaphor because all of Chef Mlamman’s cooking is done through fire. He says it can go from 0-10 in strength very fast. If the fire is bigger then there is more love. The love can also be displayed in ashes and the troubles that love does. This episode greatly explained Show Don’t Tell, and it was a great narrative on the story of Chef Mallmann’s life.

Who did I work with to compose my project? Was this a good approach?
I work on this project on my own, and yes I do believe it was a good approach. I had some help from my professor, but other than that I did the rest on my own. I was able to break down the movie step by step to help me answer the argument I picked to fit the movie. What was the most difficult part of my writing project? Why? How did you overcome these obstacles? The most difficult part of this project was choosing the right argument. I wanted to pick a unique argument. I felt as if a lot of my classmates were going to pick the same arguments. I wanted to challenge myself, and dig a little bit deeper into the movie. I overcame these obstacles by having an open mind, and my writing down my thoughts. Where did I write this project? I wrote this project in my room away from everything else. Yes, I do believe it was a good approach because it helped me focus more on my argument. Why did I choose to write about my topic? I choose to write about my topic because I felt as if it was unique, and I was looking at the bigger picture on the movie. The irony of how poverty made Jamal rich just hit me. How will I revise my writing process for future revision of this project? I think I would have watched the movie more than once. and also did more outside research on the movie. Just focused more on individual themes or the bigger meaning for the movie. |
