Comm 1 assignment

        As I've read the two readings, I can say that ,even if they have different topics, they are in contrast with each other. The works of Cherches, "Nostalgia for Kerala", tackles the beauty of a food in different areas, on how one food can have so many varieties depending on the place. While Anderson Digby's "Turn out the lite" gives definition on how a single word(lite) can make a great change, that just by putting a word "lite" on a food people would still see that as a same food where in fact its ingredients has been changed which greatly affects its taste.

       Both of the readings main concern is food. But Pete Cherches' is more of a feature. He featured the food Kerala, where you can find,  the taste and of course, is varieties. Digby's work was more of an editorial, where he said it in  DIRECT way that the word "lite" doesn't mean that it is out of the unwanted ingredients 
but it is only lessen.

        In simple words, we can say that Chereches's article is to attract and Digby's is to persuade.

         However, they stated something in common, basically. They are not persuaded by others to eat the food that they love. Cheches is willing to walk for a mile just to have a taste of that food kerala while Digby do not care if his food is not light, if it is heavy and  unhealthy, she just put the ingredients in his cooking that he know would make his masterpiece a work of the art.
         
          Last is that, Digby stated that lite is food of the children, that only cowards eta that, but we know that it is still in the person. "You can't please everyone" as the saying goes so live life the way you wanted it as long as you know your limitations. and in Cherches work he stated that it is good to travel for the sake of adventure, of food. but in the end there still no palce that is like HOME.




some negative about the work of Anderson


The mildest thing one would want to say about this horrid dry pink innovation, which sweated under the grill and fell to bits under the knife, was that it was less than a sausage.--Which is precisely what has been happening to food and much else on a grand or rather a pathetic scale.-- Lite is insipidweakdenaturedflatdiluted, and easy: food for cowards and children.--He is ignoranttimidsqueamish, and childish.--Our religion is insipid and undemanding.




Positive are: which can be found in the book of cheches Nostalgia


There are beautiful beaches and backwaters, places of great historical interest, reflecting the region's varied colonial past, and an overall sense of contentment and well-being among the people.--- Jewtown is a fascinating place.
---The dancers have perfect control of all face and body muscles, and the make-up isstriking and elaborate.--
I took the LIRR out on a beautiful late summer day for lunch, and the walk was ratherpleasant.
