Introduction to "I am What I eat" - Revision

In reflecting on my writing pieces that I composed this semester several significant assignments came to mind. When I found out that there was a chance to re-write a piece I was most excited. I was required to choose a piece of writing that could use some assistance. This paper was first to come to my mind. It was a blog assignment that as I recall, was thrown together. Blog assignments, to me were a great way to express myself and display it for all to see. This particular assignment was intended to discuss how food affects America. In reviewing the assignment requirements and what content I actually covered, I was rather disappointed in what little I wrote. It was a way to discuss my family’s food traditions on holidays and everyday meals. I was also to cover how “mainstream America” eats in comparison to my family. The assignment gave several options of possible food, family and tradition topics to cover, but I simply discussed about what meals mean to my family. I think I could have covered the material more extensively. In my new revised draft I feel that I made it more enjoyable to read and that it was a better representation of my family traditions and of my writing abilities.
