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 hiraeth project? Was this a good approach?
I worked alone on my hiraeth project. It felt like it was a good approach because I got the work done. The only issue is that I waited till the last minute. I need to change that process fast, and start on it the second I get an assignment. What was the most difficult part of my writing process? Why? What did I do to overcome the obstacles? The most difficult part of my writing process was deciding on what I was going to write about. There are many homes I wish I could go back to or have it was hard to pick one and focus on it. I overcame this obstacle by ranking my top 5 hiraeths, and choosing the first one. When did I write this project? Good approach? I waited till the night before to write it. It was not a good approach, and I am very disappointed with myself. I need to change with the way I write my next paper, and start on it right when I get it. Do little by little and get it done at the end. Where did I write this project? Good approach? I wrote my paper at my girlfriends house. It wasn't a bad approach at all. I was in a quiet office with coffee and was ready to get it done, and I did so. Why did I choose to write about my chosen hiareth? I choose to write about my hiraeth because it was a very memorable moment. I want to go back to having that same feeling, and see the proud look on my parents faces. The feeling of excitement inside me was the best feeling ever. How will I adapt/revise my writing process for future revision of the hiraeth assignment? For the future of my writing I want to take care of things immediately. I want to start on my paper rght away, and work on it over time. This will help my time management skills, and it will help me write a better paper. Other than that I believe my process was good, I just need to work right away. |
