Have a great holiday, rest up, and, most importantly, eat lots of good food.

Expository: Kitchen Confidential

In a funny and fast-paced memoir, Anthony Bourdain took readers on a tour of what he called the “culinary underbelly.” It is an often seedy and unvarnished look at his rise from lowly dishwasher to world-renowned chef.

The expository essay you will write about Kitchen Confidential has two parts:

Part 1: First, on Thu 11.15, come to class with a prompt of your own design. You may focus your prompt on any aspect of the book, but be sure that it has enough breadth to sustain a 750-word essay. We will workshop prompts in class. Then, along with your prompt, have a draft thesis ready. This thesis will also be  workshopped. Bring both items on one hard copy.

Part 2: On Tue 11.20 (note the Tuesday due date), you will bring one hard copy of your completed essay to class. In class, we will annotate it. Instructions will be given at that time. 

Required:

• MLA Style
• Approximately 750 words
• Works cited page

Due: PART 1- TUE 11.27 (PROMPT; BRING 1 COPY); PART 2- THU 11.29 (FINAL DRAFT; BRING 1 COPY—NO EMAIL SUBMISSIONS)*
