Assignment 1: Write to Your Audience - Instructor

One of my favorite shows is the Barefoot Contessa starring Ina Garten. I thoroughly enjoy listening to the comforting sound of Ina’s voice, and the delightful stories she tells while she cooks. Her show transports me to an enchanted world, where life has no problems and every day is beautiful. Ina is always doing something fun like; creating lovely tea parties in her pretty garden, hosting a fabulous dinner party in her lovely home, having intimate lunches with her charming friends or sometimes cooking an extravagant meal for her husband Jeffrey.

It is entertaining to watch Ina drive around the Hamptons in her convertible Mercedes, as she stops by gourmet shops. In some episodes she drops by such places as; the florist, bakery, cheese, or wine shops. Ina gives a friendly hello to the proprietor, and they will chat about the weather or something trivial. Then, she tells the shopkeeper a little about her plans for the evening and he helps her decide what would be best for her soiree.

Once in a while, her and Jeffrey will do very romantic things like, celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary in Paris. They walk in the open markets choosing out croissants, or sit at one of the cute little outdoor cafes, where they toast the day that they met with very special champagne that they still recall from their wedding day.

This show is really so sweet. It’s as if Ina lives in this perfect small town world where everyone knows each other and are always so friendly. I want to live there too. I love being whisked away into this seemingly perfect world in the Hamptons.

When I am watching her show I feel at ease and calm like the world around me is faultless. Further, I am able to discover new recipes that I can make at home for my family. This show is one of my favorites to watch. I would love to live the life of the Barefoot Contessa.

    Before watching I assumed it was going to be another person about the dire issue of racism or health care in Africa. However, she completely captured my attention within the first few minutes. I was intrigued by the way children literature influenced the way she wrote, but also the way she saw other ethnicities. This later turned into how she saw others perceiving Africa. Her solution was to challenge people to not buy into the single story. She firmly believes that if people were to know all the stories of a certain place they wouldn’t treat them any differently than they would their…

    Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down, and I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air. These are the opening lines to the intro song of the television comedy “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, that me and every 90’s kids with a TV has had memorized since the day we first heard it. Even as you read that first sentence, you can’t help but to rap the words, and hum the tune as you envision a young Will Smith spinning on his royal chair with the graffiti background. The effect of the lyrics and the music video to this intro song goes way beyond pure entertainment value. The music video and lyrics spread happiness, smiles, and even helped to usher in a new generation of kids with the carefree fresh prince mindset.…

    Tea Cake is completely unlike her past two husbands; with Tea Cake, Janie feels young, alive, and like she has found her horizon. In a small game of checkers, “[Tea Cake] set [the checkers] up and began to show her and she found herself glowing inside. Somebody wanted her to play. Somebody thought it natural for her to play. That was even nice. She looked him over and got little thrills from one of his good points. Those full, lazy eyes with the lashes curling sharply away like drawn scimitars. Then lean, over-padded shoulders and narrow waist. Even nice!” (///). For the first time in Janie’s life, she, as a woman, is seen by a man as someone who is equal and is worthy of being treated right. Joe’s sense of gender equality continues when he asks her to work with him in the fields. While both of Janie’s previous husbands wanted her to work, Tea Cake gives Janie the choice of working and explains that he would like her to work with him so they can spend time together. Rather than seeing her as a mule like her past husbands had, Tea Cake sees Janie as a partner and a…

These are the overarching questions asked by the fantasy novel American Gods written by Neil Gaiman. While the book was published in 2001, a many of its budding concepts of a world reliant on technology and dependent on interconnectivity were premonitions of the digital age we live in today. But what have we forgotten as we’ve gained an affinity towards this shiny, instant gratification? American Gods gives us these answers and more in a novel that’s become more than relevant in our connected…

    When times get tough and the only way to survive is to keep fighting, there are two choices: either you sink or you swim. At least that’s the mentality that belongs to the young, soon-to-be medical doctors in the 2005 TV series Grey’s Anatomy. Already having 8 seasons of surgical miracles, everlasting camaraderies, problematic love triangles, and life-threatening decisions, Grey’s Anatomy portrays a “dramedy” which focuses on a highly intellectual group of interns, residents, and attendings that strive to one-up each other in order to rank as the best, save the lives of patients, and keep the reputation of Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. Nonetheless, many of the characters constantly struggle to keep up with these responsibilities because of the difficulties in keeping their personal and professional lives apart.…
