Chef's Table, Francis Mallmann, and Our Composition Course Question #1: How does this episode fit into the narrative mode? This episode falls into narrative mode by jumping straight into telling his life story. He’s outside sipping wine. There are only scenes showing pictures and music in the background setting the tone and showing details about what may be the topic of this episode. Questions #2: How does Mallman's story connect to the hiraeth story you are writing in this class? Consider his discussions about home and childhood. The way Mallman’s story connects to my hiraeth story is he describes about this home he longs for and describes it as “the feeling of Patagonia I feel, is my deepest rooted feeling for home”. Recreating his cooking life from his childhood, you always go back to what you know. Question #3: What major ideas/themes from this episode connect to ideas/themes from our composition course? Consider Mallmann's argument about composing a good dish, examining his life environments, and being productive. He says I have to find my own way, I have to find my own language. That’s how I see myself in being productive and when I look back on my draft I see more and more of me. He goes into description about this scene about him and his parents being outside, and there are flowers it was the summertime and the décore was beautiful all around him. Campfires and theater and happiness were a major part of his life.

I enjoyed reading your interpretations of the episode. I appreciate how you discussed the use of details and tone to create narrative scenes. I wonder how your response to question #2 could explore his searching for a home through his food?

I like that you talked about Mallmann finding his own way to cook. I can relate to that as well in my writing.

I like the part where you talk about when he said "I have to find your own way and my own language" because to succeed you have to find your own way. You don't have to follows anybody.

I liked that you could see your qualities in his " That’s how I see myself in being productive and when I look back on my draft I see more and more of me." that alone shows intense emotion.
