The Lifestyle Creed - English
The Lifestyle Creed Poem
What does the word “creed” mean? Where else do we see this word used? 'Creed' is a system of religious belief. I've only seen this word in the movie 'Creed'.
Look up any words you don’t know in this poem and then write an original sentence using the word to show that you understand its meaning.
Cognitive - This is to test your cognitive skills.
Begotten - The child was begotten through hope.
Oleocanthal - Oleocanthal is said to be the reason for the burning feeling when consuming extra-virgin olive oil.
Look up the Catholic Nicene Creed. What is it? Look up the words. Compare them to this poem. How are they similar? How are they different?
It is a prayer. It is about death and resurrection. I noticed that they are the same poem with some words changed and the theme changed to health instead of death.
Why does the author use cut up bits of text? What effect does it have?
The author does this to show the bits she cut from the Catholic Nicene Creed. She possibly printed two poems and literally cut them up and stuck them together. I find it harder to read in this way but also a smart way to present the poem
Why does the author use two different font styles? Compare the way they look. Why did the author do this? What do each of the font styles represent?
The second font that she uses is for the words that she changed from the Catholic Nicene Creed. It looks as if she cut up parts of two poems and put them together. The first font is neat and the second is sort of messy.
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?
She is trying to say that healthy eating has become a new religion that people obsess over and make their life about
What is the overall purpose of the poem?

What is the overall purpose of the poem?
It is comparing prayer/religion to healthy eating and telling us that this is what has been happening in our world nowadays.
What is the overall tone of the poem?
I cannot really find a tone due to it being from two different poems. The poem is cut from different ones which gives it two tones as they're about different topics. It is probably dissonant and there is no flow.
Read the last two lines of the poem. What ideas do these lines suggest?
They kind of mock what religion is actually all about.
Do you like this poem? Why or why not?
No, because it doesn't mean anything to me and I don't understand the language. It's very confusing since half of it is from a different poem on a different topics.
