Exercise 2
4. In Thai cooking the chef always attempts to balance the four flavor groups to create a dish that will please the palate.
What are the four flavor groups?
Why should they be balanced? If one is out of place won't the dish still taste good?
Is this used in other cooking styles?
3. a. Who is this boy? What did he love so much about his rabbit? Was it his security item? These are the questions that come to my mind because the author gives us very little information about who the boy is or why he loves his rabbit so. I want to know, curiousity is driving me to keep reading. This sounds like a fairy tale but not quite because of the bunny. What's the catch? This sentence does put the reader at ease, though, and is the beggining for all our favorite childhood stories. A beginning fitting for a piece on Mr. Rogers.
b. What was the verdict? Why does any verdict on "Jenny Jones" even matter? What were the implications of the verdict? What arguments are going on as a result?
The fact that this sentence hints at a very controversial issue is part of why it is so interesting. I want to know more about the verdict and what has happened as a result of it. He might use this interest created by the line to draw the reader into the essay more effectively.
c. Which column? About what? How is this related to that column? Why should i care?
This sentence lacks a lot of interest. I'm not drawn into the essay the ways the first two did for me. This sentence fails to engage me as a reader but serves as a context for the rest of the piece. As long as the second sentence picks up a little this could work to let the reader know what this is about and why it was written.
d. How sad. Why would a man kill himself at 86? Why were the eulogies so reverent? Was he a community leader? This, while somber, serves to fill us in on a little background and create and interest in the life of a man passed. What could follow this opening sentence? The author could use this to dive into the heart of his essay or could take a slower approach and make his points in a slow, somber way as fitting for the dead. This is a versatile topic sentence.
