In the movie Spinning Plates, we are told a story of three different chefs who have had setbacks all throughout their life. Some of them found ways to overcome them, but in the end some of them had to face the truth that their restaurant just wasn’t going to work. I feel that during my time watching the movie I realized that I identified with two of the chefs we saw on the film.
The first chef I thought I saw myself on was the head chef from Alinea. I identify with him because, I have the same sense of creativity as he does, as well as the need to do something that no one has ever done before. In the movie Grant Achatz, the head chef of Alinea, has to fight against cancer to do the thing he loves most, cook and change people’s lives. I think I also see this on me as well, that strive to do what you love no matter the circumstances. If I am faced with a challenge that stands on the way of something I am very passionate about, I will do just about anything

So when the building burned down the people were devastated and no one knew what had to be done, except for Mike Breitbach. He stepped up and got the townspeople working together to build a bigger and better Breitbach’s. This motivation that Mike brings, and the leadership he has is what I strive to be someday. He is an idol to the people of his town and the would all do anything for him, and in return he would do anything for them.

Throughout Mike’s life, he had the fortunate experience of having some inspirational mentors. I have identified four of his numerous mentors as the most critical to his development, both educationally and personally.
In conclusion Mike was an exceptional man with exceptional middos and there is much to learn from him.

Mike helped everyone it didn’t matter if you were his best friend, his neighbour or unknown to him, the only thing that matters was that you were jew. So too in our days it doesn’t matter if you’re smart, granddaughter of the gadol hador or good looking – everyone should be treated the same way.

Throughout the book I felt connected to one character, that character was George. George and I share similar qualities and our lifestyles can relate. One major characteristic I found in George is his ability to take the initiative in whatever he is doing, therefore showing his sense of leadership qualities. This caught my eye automatically since I am the type of person to stand up and demonstrate my leadership to others. I feel that my leadership quality is very important to who I am. It defines me as being me.

I felt connected to him because in a scene of the movie he helped T’Challa’s sister (Shuri), mother (Ramonda) and, his ex-girlfriend (Nakia) after the fight of the throne with T’Challa and Erik Killmonger to go seek advice to M’Baku. This connected to me, a real-life example would be helping others with work. To add on, another reason I feel connected is in one of the scenes in the movie after the fight of the throne T’Challa family went to go seek advice from

, Mike’s believes his words are what reign supreme in the household. We can also infer that he is somewhat disappointed that his own daughters do not share the same beliefs as him. As a father, Mike probably wants to see a reflection of himself in his daughters, but he does not realize that this prevents them from developing their own individuality. When parents try to censor what their kids can and cannot express, they strip them of their own identity as they see they must conform to their own ideals. If this notion persists, a child will be compelled into thinking whatever their parents do or say is the right
...ese kind of foolish acts take place every day in society. Michael and Frances obviously love and care about each other; this was just a small bump in the road that they have overcome. It could have been a fork in the road, and they could have gone their separate ways. But they stuck through it, just like most of relationships. This is important because it shows that most people can overcome any problem if they really tried.
Mental rotation Mental rotation is another classic cognitive psychology paradigm, which was devised by Roger Shepard at Stanford. To understand how this task works, take a look at the shapes in the top panel (A) of Figure 12.3. The two shapes are the same; the one on the right has been rotated clockwise by about 90°. By contrast, the pair of shapes on the bottom row (B) do not match. If you look carefully, you will notice that they are mirror- Earworms and Imagery 5 images of each other, so that even if you rotate the shape on the left clockwise by 90°, it won’t match up with the shape on the right.

The conflict in this story has given me a realization of how good i really have it . Also how grateful i am to have what i need and whenever i need it.

In order to get a greater sense of the food personality attributes, three episodes from each show’s current season were analyzed to examine the personalities’ mannerisms and culinary identity. These attributes and characteristics were coded and analyzed (see Table 2). Content analysis started with cursory examination of the television episodes. I posed two questions during my initial examinations: how do these culinary personalities present themselves as experts in either the domestic or public spheres, and how do these presentations adhere or diverge from the earlier outlined gender culinary stereotypes. This meant looking at the theme of the shows, setting, the appearance and mannerisms of the culinary personalities, and how well these shows convey the tone of the network. While watching, I took note of any personal anecdotes or memories given while the food was being
