Chef By John Favreau
Chef
Chef is an awesome, feel-good movie written, directed and starred by Jon Favreau. It is a story about cooking and the love for food that simply captivates your heart and makes you smile in the whole duration of the film. It also talked about the importance of family and having fun because you are doing what you love and that just simply brings out the best in a person.
The movie started with the main character, Carl Casper, who is the head chef in a restaurant in California. He is very talented and friendly among his staff but he is unhappy because his boss, the owner of the restaurant, never wanted to try new things. So Carl found himself stocked in his career.

The music strongly gives off this good vibes with its fast beat songs. Latin songs were used which basically embodies the whole concept of the movie. Chef is a movie about love for food and the use of Latin jazz type of songs kind of amplifies every ingredient used by the chef – its flavor, aroma and color just bursts in every scene. Some of the characters in the movie are Spaniards or have Spanish blood like Martin and the wife, Inez. It was explicitly shown in the movie. Plus, the main dish that helped Carl back into the food industry is Cubanos or Cuban sandwich. The now famous food truck of Carl is called El Jefe Cubanos, a Spanish name. Thus, it can be seen that the theme of the movie is something to do with Spanish culture which is definitely felt due to the countless Spanish music

    David Olere was more than an artist, in my opinion, he was truly a hero. He ventured to do what no one else was able to do. He dedicated his artistic career to uncover what events actually took place in the German death camps during WWII. The world is grateful to him because such gruelly and horrific depictions really teaches us to remember. The day we forgot all those unfortunate people is the day they truly die, and the day history shall repeat itself.…

    We watched the Breakfast Club. One of the main character's name was Brian. He changed throughout the movie. At the beginning of the movie he was picked on a lot and no one cared about what he said. It was hard for him to talk to other students or try to say something, but they didn’t listen to them or tell them to shutup. When he was in the car his mom wanted him to study constantly. He was trying to be funny and did a weird pencil thing to be funny. People in his class did not laugh they just looked at him strangely.…

    In this essay I intend to explore the narrative conventions and values, which Oliver Smithfield presents in the short story Victim. The short story positions the reader to have negative and sympathetic opinion on the issues presented. Such as power, identity and bullying. For example Mickey the young boy is having issues facing his identity. It could be argued that finding your identity may have the individual stuck trying to fit in with upon two groups.…

    The novel Maestro, by Peter Goldsworthy is a beautifully crafted novel dealing with the tragic gulf between talent and genius, between the real and the spurious. Good literature, however, is often judged not only by what is written, but also the way it is written. Reflecting this criteria, Maestro is well written, perfectly contrasted and thus an excellent example of a good piece of literature. Goldsworthy has achieved this thorough his character development, utilization of the settings and use of language.…

    Many of us may remember the old Walt Disney movie, The Three Caballeros, who’s second group member out of the three was Panchito Pistols, the rooster. He was from Mexico and brought the style of Mariachi music to the group. Panchito, although he is just a cartoon character, may not only have introduced us to our first bit of Mariachi music at a very young age, but is also a good example of how Mariachi music is considered to be the best representation of the Mexican culture!…

    In Dave Barry's essay "Lost in the Kitchen" Barry shares his opinion on sexual equality through a personal experience with his family on Thanksgiving. In the conclusion paragraph a point is made that before women's liberation, men took care of the cars and women took care of the kitchen. Now after women's liberation, men no longer feel obligated to take care of the cars. By this, Barry is meaning to say that before women's liberation, women had their specific, "feminine" jobs and men had their "masculine" duties to take care of. After women were liberated, those roles were disrupted and women became viewed as more qualified to take on those more "masculine" responsibilities. At first, one can imagine that men might have felt their definite masculinity slipping away from them and been insulted, but as time has passed that pride has subsided and men are now giving in to the new role women play in society, or as Barry implies, men have not only succumbed to this, but have gotten lazy. I disagree that the balance of responsibility between men and women is weighted more heavily on women due to men's passive or lazy tendencies because especially in a family situation, there are too many variables for the blame to rest on just one gender.…

    Armin Greder’s The Island is a picture book that explores the negative concepts of ‘belonging’ through instances of alienation and judgement. The text presents symbols and metaphors that can be applied to universal social issues, particularly the migrant experience. Although the tone of the text is ultimately pessimistic, there are suggestions of Christian ideals such as sharing, caring for the less fortunate and having a clear conscious. The text also not only discusses an outsider’s perspective of not belonging, but also the negative aspects of belonging to a group or community.…

    1. I agree with the review by Josh Larson because the film does show a personal change in Ron Kovic as he goes through the war and also presents a political statement on how the Vietnam war was poorly handled by the government. The subtones of the film that Larson mentions reflect the change in the public view of the war, when Kovic was young, most people were supportive and energetic, like his mother. This feeling is represented by Kovic before he entered the war, shown not only by his willingness to participate but also through his features and personality, as Larson said, Kovic was full of “physicality, violence, victory, and the admiration of women”, after the war, he comes out changed, with both his physicality destroyed and his ability…
