CC First Experience Sharing a Meal Discussion

Question Description

I’m working on a english writing question and need guidance to help me study.

For this (your very first) “Reading as a  Writer” Response, I would like to invite you to analyze your food  identity by reflecting on what makes up your individual and cultural food identity as well as on any connections you can make to Wong’s essay titled “Eating the Hyphen.” 

For this response, answer the following questions that will guide the development of your first response and support your answers with specific textual evidence:

  1. What is your first experience with food/ eating/ cooking/ sharing a meal? Tell me a short story about it. 
  2. How do you think this childhood experience with food shaped your individual food identity? 
  3. How does Wong define “food”? How does she define “Chinese food”?
  4. How does Wong feel that her food preferences define her? Do you agree?
