...Like Water for Chocolates (550 words) The chapter that shapes the Laura’s novel “Like Water for Chocolate” is where Tita lives a difficult life since her mother Elena doesn’t want her to get married. The most comic moment is when a guy by name Pedro Muzquiz came to their home to ask for Tita’s hand and her mother Elena refused the marriage proposal and instead she offered the hand of her second daughter Rosaura since their family tradition dint allow the youngest daughter to get married since she was the one to take care of the parents during their old age.

...Loss makes people lose faith in their culture or appreciate their culture more depending on how strong they are emotionally and mentally. In the book called “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel, Tita's death made Esperanza appreciate not only Tita's legacy but her culture by passing down Mexican recipes and sharing old remedies. In another book called “ The Good Earth” by Pearl S. Buck, Wang Lung loses his humbleness and then he disregards the earth gods. The last book that supports my thesis is called “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe, when Okonkwo loses his pride he decides he wants nothing to do with his clan so he ends his life. Throughout this essay I am going to share with you how loss can cause a person to appreciate their culture more and how a person can lose faith in their culture depending on their mentality and emotions stability....

...Chocolate SLIDE 1 Good morning friends !! Please take your chocolates from the basket. Thank you. Myself and nithya will share on Chocalates……………… SLIDE 2 So Where Chocolates come from? Yes!! It comes from most of the tropical parts of the world like Africa, Ghana the number one producer, then Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico etc etc… This is a Cacoa Tree which bears the Cocoa pods. The tree takes 5-6 years to mature and bear a fruit. The ripe cocoa pod has about 30 usable pods each year ie rougly 1000 cocoa beans a year Around 500 beans make 1 pound only ie 2 pound of bittersweet cocoa per tree in a year. Cacao farming is very labor intensive. Every part of cacao farming, from planting to harvesting to fermenting, is best done by hand, not machines. Pods must be removed from the trees individually, by hand, because not all ripen at the same time. Farmers generally use machetes or large knives attached to poles to slice down the ripe pods, taking care not to hurt nearby buds. The pods are split open by hand. The beans are scooped out and the outer shell is discarded. If you tasted a bean at this point you would notice a sweet, lemony flavor from the pulp. The actual bean would be bitter and hard to eat. SLIDE 3 Fermentation Once the cacao beans are scooped from the pods, they are fermented and dried in the two-step curing process that sets in motion the development of the flavor nuances which maketasting chocolate so exciting. Fermentation is the first critical process to develop...
