This semester has been filled with excitement and learning. At first, the idea of food as a topic for discussion seemed unusual. Later on, it became more enjoyable and exciting. The most interesting thing I would have to say about this class is analyzing food in literature and even hip hop lyrics. I never heard of food porn until this class. The analysis of Biggie Small's lyrics was always something I didn't expect. I never really stopped to think about how often we are surrounded by food. Going to the play, Sorry Fugu, also helped in analyzing how food is used in a way of seduction and other means. This class has opened my eyes to how people use food as more than just something you eat.
The books, Interpreter of Maladies and Eating Animals, were great reads and actually pretty relevant. I learned plenty about the food industry and I've become more aware of what I eat. Both books were both modern and had an unorthodox style of writing. It's great to have a professor who doesn't stick to the mundane and exposes you to new things
The other half of this class had to do with blogging. I've never really blogged for a class before, so it was a new experience. I very much enjoyed blogging and I'm happy that Jamie incorporated it into our English class. Because of the ability to post articles and essays online, I found the class to be more engaging and interesting. Social media is continuously moving forward and I'm glad my professor agrees with that. She's also saving paper!
Thank you for taking your time reading my blog!
