  • Deciphering A Meal By Mary Douglass

    1088 Words  | 5 Pages

    When using examples of a meal from certain traditions and cultures to further clarify how her proposed structure of the meal relates to any family, she writes with descriptive language that appeals to the reader’s senses. She portrays the idea of the meal from the view of a typical family “of the middle classes of London”, stating that the “example reeks of the culture” (69). By utilizing strong language that suits the subject of food, she creates a more engaging essay for readers, balancing the overall technical tone of the essay. Douglas continues to detail the cheese platter component of the French grand meal as “the divide between a mounting crescendo of individual savory dishes and a descending scale of sweet ones ending with coffee” (69). Here, her description allows the reader to view the meal in a different light because food is typically not expressed auditorily and confirms her perspective that every element of the meal is purposeful and significant to the final product.
