Zack Mahiques - Babets Feast

I remembered the movie we watched one day in class about the French woman Babet. When she was forced to live in another country, not being able to communicate with the townspeople forced her to change. While she did change from cooking spectacular feasts to rehydrated bread and soup, she also incorporated a little of her style into her new cuisine. Going to a new place is always hard, and its even harder to fit in. Sometimes in order to fit in, people change their lifestyles in order to look and act more like the local crowd. Although this may seem like a good thing, its important to keep your individuality because thats what makes you who you are. Babet demonstrated this when she was able to order the fancy ingredients to cook the townspeople a feast, of which they were afraid of. Once they saw that it was not a witches dinner, they became comfortable and got to see first hand what Babets old life was like.
