What meaning do you think the author intended when she selected the following underlined words in her description of the cafeteria food? "When my tray is heavy with the gifts of food, I stand still in the stream of students. I don’t know where to go to enjoy my feast." en-us 2021-04-13 18:46:21 UTC 2021-04-14 13:22:32 UTC hello@padlet.com hgreen48 https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416208828 I think that the author did this because Kek might have not had a lot to eat when he was in the camps. I think that he now thinks of food as gifts to help you survive after not having them for awhile. His thoughts about having food are special to him so he thinks of them as a gift to live. ]]> 2021-04-14 13:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416208828 https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416213363 The author probably chose these exact words to convey that Kek has had it really hard recently. He thinks of a regular lunch as a feast. It shows that recently for him, food has been scarce.]]> 2021-04-14 13:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416213363 https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416237231 I think the author chose theses words because in Kek's country, their probably wasn't a lot of food. So when kek got this chance to get any food he wants, he will take it as a gift.  Since there was a lot of food for him to take he also thinks it a feast of food. ]]> 2021-04-14 13:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416237231 https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416256766 I think she did this because maybe when Kek was in Africa, he didn't get to have so much food all the time and maybe it was very kind for someone to give you a "gift" of food from where he came from.]]> 2021-04-14 13:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416256766 https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416257719 I think the author added this because Kek thinks that he has to pay for everything but no, you get lunch food in 'school I guess' for free]]> 2021-04-14 13:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416257719 https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416260240 Kek looks at his lunch tray as if it was a gift of food and a feast because he maybe didnt have much food when he was at the camp.]]> 2021-04-14 13:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416260240 ssingh157 https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416264134 I think that the author chose these words because maybe at the camp he didn't have a lot to eat.]]> 2021-04-14 13:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416264134 dwolpov https://padlet.com/mcallari1/l8qjswjjah6hvav0/wish/1416264592 I think the author said that because Kek was so excited to have all this food for free, and he had never had it before.
