Creed means "a system of religious belief, a faith". The only time I have seen this word used in life is when talking about the video game "Assassin's Creed".
2. Unknown words from poem
- Oleocanthal - Compound in olive oi
- Begotten - Bring into existence
- Cruciferous - Relating to plants of the cabbage family
- Annals - Historical records
- Prophets - Person who teaches god
I was begotten in sin
Broccoli and cauliflower are cruciferous vegetables
There are only sad stories in the annals of immigration
Prophets do not teach me, only confuse me
3. Catholic Nicene Creed
These poems are quite similar when it comes to the ideas in the poem. Yet the creators have chosen different words to express themselves. Breslin has taken a creative approach comparing them to food, where as the Nicene is serious and uses all the proper words.
4. Why does Breslin cut up the words?
Breslin cut up words from different areas of the Nicene. She put them into a different order and mixed them with words from a healthy food book. The purpose of doing this is to express that eating healthy can be believed in like a religion.
5. Why does she use two different fonts?
The different fonts allows the read to distinguish between what pieces are from the Nicene and what pieces are from healthy eating.
6. Why do you think the author has juxtaposed the Nicene Creed with words such as “brain boosters”, “antioxidants”, and “good cholesterol”? What meaning is she trying to convey? Is this effective? What is the effect on the reader?
I think she is trying to convey that when someone is living with a diet they can live by it by a religion. Following the rules of the diet strictly like how a follower obliges to the religion rules.
7. What is the overall purpose of the poem?
The overall purpose of the poem is to show how some people live by their diet religiously.
8. What is the overall tone of the poem?
I think the overall tone of the poem is confusing. There is no clear indication of what the theme is. The words don't match and the use of food items doesn't allow the poem to flow.
9. What ideas do the last two lines suggest?
I am not quite sure. People use good cholesterol to mock healthy lifestyles sometimes. So maybe the author is using it to mock religion.
10. Do You like this Poem?
I don't like this poem, it doesn't flow well and is very confusing. The two subjects don't mix well, they don't lap onto one another. The idea of what the author is trying to convey is also quite blurred, it isn't clear which causes confusion. Having no clear idea in a text makes it pointless as there is no reason for it.
