In Matilda Bone, food is simple. There is bread, porrige, fish, and eel. When Matilda moved to help Peg the bonesetter she burnt the porrige often which she was scolded for. In another instance, Matilda went to the market and was fooled. She was told that a brown eel was the freshest and that the fishy smell was good. When she returned to Peg she found out the eel was rotten!! She felt very outwitted even though she had belived no one where she was could fool her.
In my book The Journal of Wong Ming-Chung when Wong is on the boat traveling from China to America the food that is being eaten regulary is vegetables and rice.
In my book Catherine Called Birdy the food is basically what the rich ate in mideval times. Like meats that were hunted or shiped in, bakery food like bread,fruits and vegetables from the garden and the usually drank wine or water.
In the loud silence of francine green the food is really cheap but its nothing really special, Their were no pizza's or Steaks with sauce, They mostly had bread and wheat to make rolls with and everything was around 5 cents to get icecream.
In Bella at Midnight the food they eat would be bizare compared to today's food. For example, they eat Bone marrow pie, fish jelly and roasted peacock. Gross!
In thursday's child food is a reoccuring issue because since the story takes place in an economically tragic time, food became really scarce and sometimes in the book the kids have to eat scraps.
In my book Soldier's Heart the main character Charley didn't get fed very well at first because he was in the Minnesota volunteer regiment of the army which didn't have much funding. When he first got there his usual meal was beans and grimy beef and after that they used the beans for soup the next day and then any beans leftover from the soup they used for coffee the next day. On the way to war when he was on the trains he was fed very well because people from the towns were donating good food to them. But after a few Major Battle and a few small battles near the middle of the book the food was running so low they didn't have enough for the wounded men so they had to shoot the horses they stole from the south and feed them to the wounded telling them it was beef.
In the book Miles' Song the food that Miles eats is simple food like bread, corn, and pears. This is because he is a slave (this story takes place during slavery in 1851) and he worked in gensy Tillary's house (his slave owner).
In "The World War 2 Diary of Madeline Beck" food is some what hard for Madeline and her family to get. Seeing how there is at least 7 people living with her (including herself and her mother) there isn't much to choose from because food is exspensive and her family/roomates don't have a lot of of money because only Theo and Madeline's mother works but MAdelines's mother hasn't been going to work laetly because she is too peoccupied with trying to help volunteer with the war.
Ok my book is called The Journal Of Douglas Allen Deeds and the food that him and all the other wagon riders eat is really what they hunt and bread.The animals the hunt and eat would really have to be like oxen, buffulo, deer, squrriels, and rabbits so yeh.
P.S Robbie can you tell me more about that crappy food i dont think i relly know give me some subsrciption
In the Devil's Arithmetic, the charaters were taken to a concentration camp. When they had arrived, the only food they were allowed to eat was a bowl of water and cooked potatos. This was only after they had done a certain amount of work.
In my book " A Light in The Storm " the theme of the food is reoccuring is all they have is steak, cornbread, fish and rice. It is significant to that time period because steak i would think is very fancy for that time period. and cornbread was also very popular back then and this is still popular today.
In this book that I am reading the food is really diffrent then what were used to. Like they ate some of the whale carcuss when they were out in the artic ocean and they ran out. But they ate sea biscuts, meat of some sort, and very rarley veggies.

The food in this story is just a military pack which is pretty much just crappy food in a bag, it stinks.

In my book "Crispin At the edge of the world" food is what ever they can find in the woods, things like rabbits berries and squirrels
The food in my book is they eat meat like deer and berrys like blue berry and walnuts and they also eat herbs.
