Yes, I could do that. But that isn’t the project.
The project this week is that you need to tell a short story about bread. Not bread as in money. Bread as in the stuff you eat.
Hear me out. Bread means different things to various cultures. In the culture that I was raised I was told on an hourly basis that Wonder Bread is the only bread to be consumed. Sunbeam bread as a runner up. In-between my daily dose of Hulk smash and Spidey sensing was a Wonder Bread commercial.
We didn’t know about homemade breads or “real bread.” Cornbread, ok yes but you typically didn’t make a ham and cornbread sandwich. Not really the same thing.
So yeah, I could do a piece on consumer culture, indoctrination, or discovering the joy of Black Russian Rye bread.
It can be a first person narrative. It could be an exploration of the bread you have eaten or your first encounter with a pita, naan or fry bread. It could be a slide show of your favorite bread experiences.
