Tortillas/Fame-iness

The essay on tortillas was definitely a solid example of a definition essay that we've been talking about approaching. The author really brings the sentimental value of the traditional food through personal experience. The fact that he is so cultured with tortillas and has stories himself helps make learning about tortillas as interesting (?) as possible.

Fame-iness shares the same views as I do - there are way too many people who are considered famous for the most random, ridiculous reasons. With the mention of definition essays I can see it in this essay, but it strikes me as more of a complaint than something informative.

And just a quick note, I had already learned about Warhol starting the "fifteen minutes" phrase, pretty cool background/fun fact information.

Patterns: I want a wife

Probably the most upfront sexist outlook on a spouse, lol. The passage pretty much puts it on the table how nothing short of Wonder Woman is so often expected from a wife; better yet, a personal robot. It's a very specific and detailed explanation of a dream woman. All I thought about was your typical 1950's housewife - am I right?
