The original book was the [sic] called Eat Pray Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert, and while sharing my ideas with my classmates I decided that dinner time was the best setting for these themes while incorporating elements of the actual story at the same time.\u27https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/altered_book/1073/thumbnail.jp
