Ooo, new ideas! This book certainly reflects modern day interests because here we have Delphine putting a stop to the greasy food and cooking dinner. Coincidentally it also draws her into her mother’s realm, the forbidden kitchen. Despite having so much in it, this book is working pretty well for a middle grade book- everything ties together neatly. We also get introduced to the idea of selfishness at the end of this chapter which I think will come back to reflect on some of the other themes as well.
Also, I don’t know that my MESE studies have changed me much as a reader. These are generally the types of things I find in books, although I usually read with less introspection as I go. I think it definitely added to the ways I have of discussing this book in a multicultural context. I think MESE, as all learning experiences, has also made me clearer, more definitive rather than necessarily different or improved.
