Class discussion

my quote was from The Tiger page 611, line 20.
"Did he who made the lamb make thee?"
This caught my eye because it questions creation. The tiger was seen to be evil while the lamb was seen as good. We start questioning is good and evil created by the same thing. They are total opposites and it seems as if our world has been made of opposites and you can find good and evil but also find evil in good.

The ironic thing about this book is that it is for children. The fact it is for children also makes it satire because war is made out to be almost play-like, immature, and childish. The language is very jubenile, but the overall theme is very dark. The two sides are going to war for nothing really and it is somewhat ridiculous. Both sides believe that they are right and we only hear the story through one of the sides. This is very similar to today because many times we make decisions or judgements before we hear both sides of the story. The end is mysterious and I believe either both sides either died or they came to an agreement and there was peace because either way, they were both going to lose because one side would come up with technology that was advanced and find that the other side had also.

It shows how many people in society aren't happy with what they have and always want something more. Life is much more complicated than it used to be. Less people are conservative and more and more are partying. Nowadays money is so important and we almost idolize it and idolize other materialistic items. Sometimes we wish we could go back to when nothing mattered and life had no stress.
