HW for Friday, 3/7

We want to discuss "Personality flaws and consequences" with the chapters we discuss on Friday. Try to have read up to "Owner's Syndrome and Other Anomalies"--if you have time, read the last chapter of Second Course,"Bigfoot," too.


Below are the types of scholarly behaviors that will help you be prepared to write a well-organized and depthful in-class timed Midterm Essay next Wednesday.

  • Collect evidence (Write down relevant quotes, with page numbers) for what Anthony Bourdain says about others.
    • Note down places where you see him persuading you (Ethos, Pathos, Logos) as to how he feels. Work on explaining how you interpret Bourdain's feelings/ideas by answering these questions:
      • What does he focus on in his description of others? 
      • How does he describe them? What type of language does he use? Key words?
  • Collect evidence for Bourdain's own flaws and how they impacted him
  • Collect evidence that shows 'the opposite of a flaw'
  • Start making organizational decisions about which chapters are most relevant--which chapters or excerpts are most worth your time (because of the amount of evidence you find)
