Insta @katezabrodska
In many ways, __________________. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position
over those who offer up their work ___________________.

We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter
truth we critics must face, _________________, the average piece of junk is
probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

But there are times when a critic truly risks something, _________________.
The world is often unkind to new talents, new creations. The new needs friends.
Last night, I experienced something new; __________.

To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about
fine cooking, is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the
past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto,
"_______________".

But I realize - only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can
become a great artist, ______________. It is difficult to imagine more humble
origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's
opinion, __________. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.

Is it difficult to be a critic? Why?/Why not?

What is the bitter truth about being a critic?
Who is the world unkind to?
What has rocked Ego to his core?
What does Chef Gusteau's famous motto mean?

Task 10. Who said what? Please, write the
character name next to the quote:
____________: Take a good long look, Remy. This is
what happens when a rat gets a little too comfortable around
humans. The world we live in belongs to the enemy.
____________: T-t-this can’t just happen! The whole thing
is a set up! The boy knows! Look at him out there pretending to
be an idiot! He’s toying with my mind, like a cat with a ball! Of...
something!
____________: No, you listen! I just want you to know
exactly who you are dealing with! How many women do you see
in this kitchen?
____________: I don't need the inside food to be happy. The
key, my friend, is to not be picky. Observe.
____________: Ugh, your sleeves look like you threw up on
them. Keep your hands and arms in, close to the body, like this,
see? Always return to this position.
____________: Change is nature, Dad. The part that we can
influence. And it starts when we decide.
____________: If you focus on what you left behind you will
never see what lies ahead!
____________: You must be imaginative, strong-hearted.
You must try things that may not work, and you must not let
anyone define your limits because of where you come from.
____________: I don't like food; I love it. If I don't love it, I
don't swallow.
____________: This is me. I think it's apparent that I need
to rethink my life a little bit. What's my problem? First of all, I'm
a rat. Which means, life is hard. Second, I have a highly
developed sense of taste and smell.
____________: The world is often unkind to new talent, new
creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced
something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly
unexpected source.
____________: Because I am the toughest cook in this
kitchen! I have worked too hard for too long to get here, and I am

Insta @katezabrodska
 not going to jeopardize it for some garbage boy who got lucky!
Got it?
____________: A chef makes. A thief takes.
____________: No! You waste energy and time! You think
cooking is a cute job, eh? Like Mommy in the kitchen? Well,
Mommy never had to face the dinner rush when the orders
come flooding in, and every dish is different and none are
simple, and all of the different cooking times, but must arrive
at the customer's table at exactly the same time, hot and
perfect! Every second counts, you CANNOT be MOMMY!
____________: If you are what you eat, then I only
want to eat the good stuff.
____________: Paris? All these times I've been
underneath Paris?
____________: Food is fuel. You get picky about what
you put in the tank, your engine is gonna die. Now shut up
and eat your garbage.
