Culture has a great influence on food. Due to British colonization and their need for slaves to produce sugar, Trinidad is a mix of Indians, Arabs, Natives, etc. And “food is the glue that binds the cultures together” despite problema they have

I learned that the people don’t look the same, i expected a common appearance but there’s a lot of different ethnicities. I also learned that there’s a real sense of community in Trinidad and the blending of the culture through food sort of brings everyone closer.

Ab talked about how Trinidadians love to dance and wine and he was a little nervous about that because he supposedly can’t dance at all. He also talked about the British bringing in slaves from India to harvest sugar. He was surprised that skin color didn’t play a role in your social status. Ab also spoke with an investigator of gang related violence about gang related violence in the Port of Spain. He was interested in learning about the people that wanted him dead.

Eye sketch:

Wilson’s character is established: old, rude/passive aggressive, “he’s so dumb he doesn’t know he’s alive”

In direct contrast of: Mrs. wilson, she stands out and is delicate, captures attention, he blends in is abrasive and barely has a presence

“A tin of large hard dog biscuits, one of which composed apathetically in the saucer of milk all afternoon”~ this emphasizes the disorganization/carelessness that the party at Myrtle's apartment promoted

“I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life”21:01~ Fitzgerald allows himself to become a character in the book, but also look from the outside in, at some points.

2 favorite sentences(explain Fitzgerald’s writing style in them):

Explain the meaning and purpose of this sentence: “It was testimony to the romantic speculation he inspired that there were whispers about him from those who had found little that it was necessary to whisper about in this world” This sentence is explaining that for Gatsby to be so fascinating that he’ll even cause people who don’t gossip to talk about him secretly is a testimony to his greatness.

Explain point of Owl-Eyes admiration for Gatsby’s library, Owl- Eyes admiration of Gatsby’s library hints as to what kind of lifestyle he has, he parties all the time doesn’t read much or spend much time with other people that read. When he keeps repeating that the book are real in shock, it suggests that he’s currently drunk/hungover.

The Mona Lisa attracts massive crowds to the museum where it’s being kept. All the popularity it’s gained had unfortunately cause many of its visitors to leave unsatisfied. The best way to improve the Mona Lisa’s situation for the painting and viewers of it is simple. To give the Mona Lisa a separate area to be displayed, and don't allow cell phones into that room in which it’s being shown. This solution is optimal because the Mona Lisa will still get the attention it deserves and the crowding issues will decrease, and create a more intimate experience with the painting for the viewer.

Chef Gordon Ramsay grew up in a family that wasn’t very wealthy. Since he was a child he wanted to break the cycle of poverty in his family. He also says he wasn’t his father's favorite as a result he strives to be a better father to his kids. “I had a very humble upbringing—loved by my mother and, I think, loved by my father, but I was desperate to get out the sh**hole I was in," Gordon said. "I didn't want to turn out like my dad. I didn't want to live in a council house and put my kids to school with second-hand clothes. You strive to better yourself."

On the show Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay is seen screaming at a chef “You f***ing useless sack of sh*t, get out!!” After the thé chef serves an undercooked Risotto. In this video the way Gordon Ramsey is portrayed is in great contrast with the article on delish.com. Rather than a considerate and motivated man he be audacious and brash. It is possible that this behavior is motivated by an underlying passion for culinary arts.

“Hillary Clinton isn’t the only woman struggling to find an ideal mix of feminism and femininity, one that allows a woman to behave both like and unlike a man without being penalized either way”

This quote relates this article to Nick’s internal conflict because Nick has to withstand the type of people that he is surrounded by without getting sucked into their lifestyles. Just like modern women have to withstand the expectations of them that were created by previous generations while allowing themselves to become comfortable in a more flexible concept of femininity. He doesn’t become like Daisy and Tom (frivolous, wreck less, self-absorbed, immoral, materialistic). Yet he also doesn’t become like Wilson and Myrtle (desperate, hopeless, clueless, ignorant).

“ in recent years as we have subscribed to an all-purpose, mass-market version of the American dream, but it hasn't entirely disappeared.”

This quote relates to Gatsby because it expresses how people can have various versions of the American dream, and view the bigger concept as believing you can accomplish anything if you work for it. In Gatsby’s case, his dream was to be with Daisy, therefore he followed that dream with the same drive and intent as any immigrant who comes to America for the American dream or as any child who finds a hero on TV or an idol to give them hope.

“being reminded that ours was a society where some were much better off than others, and where the class divide -- especially the gap separating middle from upper -- was an inescapable fact of life”

This article also gives context to scenes in the story when Gatsby is looking across Long Island to see the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. His optimism allows him to see it as a reminder to keep chasing his dream. However, it also represents the gap that will always be between him and Daisy because of they’re from different classes. Gatsby’s entire life, Daisy has been one of the “rich girls” that don’t marry “poor boys” and even with all he had worked for to elevate himself, it was hardly enough.

“Shoppers were drifting into stores in the rush before dinner, and the sales help, as if on cue, began a retail ritual: trying to tell the buyers from the lookers, the platinum-card holders from those who could barely pay their monthly minimum balance.”

This quote relates to the kind of guests that attended Gatsby’s party. They were all worried about fitting into that kind of party life. Many of them became involved in gossip, wanting to know anything they could about Gatsby as well as other guests. On page 44, Jordan involves Nick in such gossip, claiming “somebody told me he (Gatsby) killed a man once.”

Class plays a significant role in American culture. It affects the way we view each other  and ourselves. It can even be argued that most of our goals and dreams are centered around our social class. Whether our class alters our personality to make us feel entitled and ungrateful. Or it can make us motivated and hardworking

The following are thoughtful current events that are intriguing, but not overly sensitive or partisan in nature. I want the topics to elicit critical thinking. In your argument consider two-parts prompt similar to the structure of a Q3 prompt on the exam.

1) defend, challenge, or qualify your position on the article and 2) examine the considerations (back up with the facts).

What I want you to do is to evaluate the  current events through the $SEEITT strategy. Successful arguments focus on at least one of those considerations. Those arguments focus on fact and risks instead of pure emotion:

$ = economic implications
S = safety concerns
E = ethical concerns
E = environmental implications
I = international relations
T = technological concerns
T = time implications

I will give you the background and link to the article.
