One of the most frequent ways to start an argument with my
dad is to plan to go out to a nice restaurant to eat. An argument my mother
frequently takes part in. My dad comes from the mindset that family time should
be spent on activities that will give us a joint experience together not on an
expensive meal that spent on all 5 of us ended up being quite pricey. Although,
I see some validity in his reasoning I still side with my mom because hey, who
doesn't want to eat a fancy meal? Also, after reading Norma Buama Joseph's
article I've realized that sharing a good meal with people you love can be one
of the most memorable experiences you can partake in. Food really is the
language of memory as seen by how it commemorates major religious traditions.
But seeing how it's so captivating of so many senses, sharing a moment of
really spectacular food with people you love and care about really imprints
that moment in your memory. I agree that spending upwards of $250 on a
meal isn’t an economically sound decision it is when highlighting major
events or family vacations. Essentially it’s the cherry on top of a memorable
event that seals it in your mind.
I notice a couple of grammatical errors, and I am not sure how your post specifically relates to religion or gender, although you do a good job of talking about family. Is there any way you could tie in religion and/or gender more explicitly? (If you want to revise this post and make it more about gender and/or religion, I can assign you a revised grade for this post!)
