Food for Thought: Your presentation is three minutes long. Remember to practice.

1. After reading Fong's and Hong Kingston's respective texts, what sense do you get from each author about their relationship to the food from their cultures?
2. With respect to food, both authors present the notion or idea of a family culture versus a community culture much like in communication there is private communication and public communication or private face and public face. Offer an example of family culture versus community culture from each text as concerns each author's cultural background. 
3. Ask this of yourself: What foods from my culture do I like but are considered to be gross in other cultures?
4. Ask this of yourself: What foods from my culture do I detest because I think that they are gross, but others, including my family members, seem to love?
5. Write two tight paragraphs comprising five to seven sentences each that offer a smooth narrative which takes into account Points 1 through 4.
