In the episode Chef's Table: Francis Mallman. He describes to us what his childhood was like growing up. Mallman also tells his story on how he became a successful chef.
This episode was definitely a narrative mode because he gives good detail and observation to express his story. The places he cooks his food or how he cooks his food. The different views of the video definitely caught my attention and was interested to learn more. Mallman story connects to our hiraeth assignment because he tells us about his childhood and what motivated him to become a chef. Mallman arrived to Patagonia at the age of seven where his house was ruled by fire with brother and family. When he was eight he was invited to dinner with his parents outside under a tree. He describes it to be longing about a home that he can't return to. Mallman went to France to get a job with a 3 star chef at a restaurant. After making a dish, the customer was no pleased and told him it was really bad, which made him take a different approach. He basically had a growth mindset to become a better chef by mastering the way that he cooks. At the age of 19 he started his first restaurant. Mallman says "building a fire is like making love." Mallman uses cooking to express himself. Mallman states "that you to respect what you're cooking, a man with ideas accomplishes his dreams." He never cooks alone he uses maestranza which means the people around you helping. Everything happens for a reason he never gave up on his cooking after they told him that his cooking wasn't good which motivated him to be different.

This assignment wasn't so bad compared to the other ones we had this semester. I believe that this was a good approach because there was so many things you can write about the movie Survivor. As I complete my assignment alone the hardest part of my writing process was to summarize the movie without going overboard trying to explain it. I tried writing my assignment in my room Sunday evening but was distracted by the family gathering we were having at my house. The house was extremely loud and it was really hard for me to focus. My thought process was all over the place I was basically staring at a blank screen and couldn't write anything down in my notebook. So Monday morning I went up to Dccc even though I didn't have class I thought it would be best for me to focus without any interruption. After spending nearly 2 hours I completed the assignment and felt I made the right choice getting the work done and having a better mindset. The reason why I chose my topic was because I felt that it was the right approach for me. Try to summarize and ask a lot of questions about the movie. I adapted pretty well since I wasn't able to get the assignment done Sunday so I figured I do it at school where I can have a better focus. My six steps of the writing process
1) Always got to have snacks around you while writing! cant work on an empty stomach you wont be able to think right. 2) Turn your phone off! so that way your friends don't interrupt you while your working a simple text message is all it takes. 3) Make sure your TV is turned off! you wont be able to process your thoughts and can get sidetracked easily trying to multitask from school work and watching TV. 4) Organizing my thoughts before I just go ahead and an get into it with my ideas all over the place. 5) Be confident in myself and my writing. 6) Proof read my work so I can see the changes that I can make. has helped me out a lot I see a lot of improvement in my writing. I'm gonna stick with it because they say don't fix it if its not broken. This academic mindset argument writing assignment was a lot harder than I expected. With no help needed it took me a little bit to find a good approach, I had so many ideas but didn't know where to start. Friday night I was feeling a bit off couldn't get in the groove of writing, I would type and delete for at least 30 minutes so I figured I would try tomorrow. Saturday morning was a lot better for me I was getting in the flow of my writing piece, everything was coming together. The most difficult part of the assignment was trying to put everything together while making sense at the same time. I would jump from this quote to that quote and it didn't make sense at all. I was starting to get frustrated but I knew that I couldn't give up now. So I tried harder to revise my work as I was typing so it'll make sense for my professor and classmates to read. I tried writing my essay Friday night in my room but was being distracted by my nieces asking me to play with them. My little rascals were running around screaming and playing, at that point I couldn't concentrate. The next morning I woke up and it was nice and quiet I figured I would get a head start on my work before I get distracted again! The two articles that we had to read gave me a lot of information that helped me finish this assignment. My six steps are really working out for me. I'm starting to see improvements with my writing and is less distracted by the things around me. Now I know what I have to do to remain focused. I always remind myself to be confident in myself and my writing!
As I sit around the house I think to myself am I sure I want to make The Perfect Christmas my Hireath Project. I honestly think that this was the right choice for me because it is a time that I can't return to because of the situations that have happened over the years. The most difficult part of my writing was putting the pieces together trying to put what I remembered down on a piece of paper. My mind tends to wander or maybe I'm just not focusing enough. My mind takes a long time to process my thoughts but when it does hit me I get into the groove of writing. I know if I am confident in myself and my writing I can become a better writer everyday. The mistakes I make yesterday won't be the same mistakes I make today at this point you learn to grow. Instead of waiting for my thoughts to get processed I should just jump right in and tackle this writing assignment! I started my project Sunday evening in my room as I gather my thoughts everything hit me, I let my mind tell my story as I my fingers typed away. I chose this as my project to express my feelings, to let the audience feel the pain that I've been through over the years. A way to show a reflection of me and how was I affected by it, it made me become the person that I am today. My six steps help me a lot with my writing I proof read as I go and make the changes so that everything falls into place. Making changes isn't easy but it's worth the shot on becoming a better writer. Sometimes you gotta step out of your comfort zone to really get things going!
