Potatoes are an excellent metaphor for Angus Buchan’s book‚ Faith Like Potatoes. A good-looking stalk may hide a rotten crop under ground. As is taught by Christianity‚ you may be successful in this world without God‚ but there will always be that Christ shaped empty space in your heart that only God himself may fill for any one person to be happy. Angus Buchan was born into Southern Rhodesia‚ which is now modern day Zimbabwe. He grows up as a Christian and is slowly drawn away from Christ as

So many different items and so many choices to make and so much confusion.The Only difference is that the choices are not listed out systematically as in a menu card. We get what we order. Whenever we go to a restaurant‚ we order meals of our preference and avoid what we dislike and so relish the meal. Life is the same. If we choose what we like to do‚ we will enjoy our life . Sometimes we may be influenced

Like Mexicans Gary Soto (1952 -) My grandmother gave me bad advice and good advice when I was in my early teens.

The film‚ Like Water for Chocolate‚ represents a story through incorporating the idea of food as feelings and expressing the woman’s roles during the Mexican Revolution. The film is a romantic-comedy showing many joking ways of hard times and soft issues and the way of life.

Throughout the film‚

He may be right. Have you ever been to a school cafeteria? People group together into different racial and social groups. It’s more comfortable to be around people similar to us‚ and comfort is what America is all about. It’s human nature to want to be around people similar to us. Some wise man once
