Physiology is defined as the branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts.
For this “Reading as a Writer” Response #5, imagine sitting in a restaurant (fancy or otherwise) and having a conversation with Brillat Savarin and write what your answers may be, in the process of such imaginary conversation, to the following questions:
- What do you think is the meaning of an aphorism? Look up a definition of aphorism and analyze it.
- What general themes (big ideas) can you identify in Brillat Savarin’s aphorisms?
- Why does the author choose to focus his aphorisms on these general themes (big ideas)? What are these themes? Do you see a pattern?
- What do his aphorisms suggest about his view of food, culture, and hospitality? How do they reflect on your view of food, culture, and hospitality?
- What aphorisms stood out to you the most and why? Explain and use textual evidence (quotations) to support and illustrate your response.
Length: 2 – 3 pages. Use at least one of the TED Talks I posted in this week’s module to help you develop and support this response.
Don’t forget to format your response in MLA 8 format and support your analysis of Brillat Savarin’s aphorisms with specific textual evidence (quotations from his text) and in-text parenthetical citations. Make sure to include a “Works Cited” page.
