Chef’s Table, Francis Mallmann
While in class on April 6, 2017 me and my classmates watched a Netfilx film called Chef’s Table. Here I will be answering the questions below: · Question #1: How does this episode fit into the narrative mode? When the film opens, it shows a scene with a beautiful horizon of multiple colors. It has someone telling about his life story and letting the audience know about his prize moments in life and his bad decisions he made. Mallman had come in a couple of scenes to introduce topics of his life moments also. The format of this movie was created wonderful because at the end he is in the background walking away with fire in the background with the horizon. It had a great message for a lot of individuals. · Question #2: How does Mallman's story connect to the hiraeth story you are writing in this class? Consider his discussions about home and childhood. While Mallman’s was telling his story, I felt like it wasn’t so many connections that I could relate to from my Hiraeth project. The main thing he was talking about was his childhood and what made him the man who he is today. This film gave me understanding that I could give my hiraeth project a twist towards what I’m talking about because I feel like I’m playing it safe where I can give more information about my grandmother and the great memories also letting my audience know about a powerful impact she made on me as a young lady growing up today in this generation. Question #3: What major ideas/themes from this episode connect to ideas/themes from our composition course? Consider Mallmann's argument about composing a good dish, examining his life environments, and being productive. When Mallman won the prize for his potatoes he felt like he accomplished his life achievement that all his teachers had won so he thought his achievements couldn’t go any further he had a fixed mindset. Later on, Mallmann goes down his own path by making his own decisions and living care free which made him start to have a growth mindset to conquer anything he desired. This relates to our composition course where we talked about fixed vs growth mindset.

ENG 100 Assignment #1 Hiraeth Project Due: Draft #1 posted to blog by 11:59 3/23 Summer Day with Grand mom Waking up in my bright white color room. With my window slightly crack so I can fell the beautiful breeze from the summer morning air. I can hear the birds chirping to the Saint Katharine Drexel (Christian Church/School) bells. The radio is playing downstairs the gospel station. I walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. My grand mom walks out of her room to give me a warm hug. Her golden bronze skin would catch the light so beautifully. With her light brown hazel eyes with a wide mouth smile and pearly white teeth could light up a room. When she would walk into a room you would catch the aroma of her Musk by Alyssa and Ashley. She had a personality that could command the room. Everyone that would be in her presence loved her company because she kept everyone hysterical. She was intelligent, bright, and funny. My beautiful grandmother Joan Robinson. She went downstairs to make breakfast and coffee. I walked towards her room to watch the news. I jumped right across her bed. Her room was everything gold from her dressers, TV stand, and picture which was a peacock. It had a strong aroma of Alyssa and Ashley musk. She called for me from downstairs to come and get my breakfast. I grabbed my plate and ate my food in the back kitchen watching the BRATZ on channel 3. I threw my stuff in the trash and headed back upstairs to start my day. Before I got a chance to walk upstairs I heard a knock on the front door. It was my friend Tamia. Tamia grandparents’ house was connected to my house. Me and Tamia grew a huge bond so did our moms. Since they were single moms with two kids which was a boy and girl created their connection. She was asking was I coming outside to play. I let her know I would be out shortly after I got in the shower and got dressed. She said “okay” and walked down my porch stairs. I made my way upstairs to get ready. I ran the warm water in the bath tub and placed my hello kitty bubbles in. I got in the tub washed up. Dryed myself off. Headed inside my room. Picked out my clothes and got dressed. I went inside my grand mom’s room to take some of her Musk while she was downstairs. I made my way downstairs to ask could I go outside to play. My grand mom stood in the kitchen getting a snack with her Indian yellow color shirt, brown trousers, and gold slides with gold nail polish on her feet. She instantly said “no” because we were about to run some errands. I couldn’t stay home since my brother was away on a basketball trip and my mom was at work. So, I was forced to go with her. I placed on my shoes from the back kitchen. We headed out the back door to get in her white Mazda with gold trimming with light tan leather seats. When we got in her car I instantly felt my behind and my back burning it was like a microwave on a summer day in the car until she turned on the air and pulled down the windows. She would always pull down the windows while the air was on which was so rare. Now we pulled out of the driveway and headed towards our first place. Riding down the street playing her favorite oldies mix. We pulled up at the Granite Run Mall to go to Boscov’s her favorite store. Every time we would enter the store she would stop at the shoe section and try on a ton of shoes. She finally made a purchase then we would head out to the multiple store section in the mall. My favorite store at the time was JCPenney and Claire’s. I would stop at the stores and make a few purchases. After the time, we spent in the mall we go towards Chic fil a and get something to eat. I always would get a 8ct nugget meal with a H-C fruit Punch and my grandmother would get a chicken sandwich meal with the same drink as me. We sat down and ate our food and made some conversation about school and life. After we were done eating we threw out our food and headed out the door toward the car. She placed her music on and we pulled out the parking lot and made our way towards my great aunt Audrey’s house. · Who did I work with to compose my project? Was this a good approach?
