Test

I didnt think the test was going to bad because i actually understood most of the stories we read. But while taking the test i was confused because it seemed like we were questioned more on the stories we didnt discuss as much than the ones we talked about a lot. I still think i did ok and hope i get a good grade.

THE BUTTER BATTLE (:

welll to start off that was like awesome how we got to lay on the desks while being read a doctor suess book it reminded me of nap time (:

but anyways the butter battle book is and example of dark satire because it reflected on the circumstances of the time, the cold war with the constant addition of more and more dangerous weapons that were used more as threats then actually to hurt, just to scare the other country and then the fact of fighting over such trivial issues like how a group butters their bread!

INFANTS SORROW

this poem was really strange to me like when you think of childbirth you think of innocence and bringing joy and happiness but instead it made the mom and dad sad? but i guess its actually talking about how the poor class is like that because it talks about feeling trapped and the poor were trapped in their social status

Airplanes

The song airplanes makes a social commentary by saying things have gotten so bad that even partying and everything looses its temptation and people are so desperate for a way out of todays messed up world that they would wish upon an airplane if a shooting star wasnt present this also demonstrates how materialistic our world is because airplanes are man made vs. shooting stars which is nature.
