Irony of To a Louse

Because we ran out of time in class to talk about a bunch of stuff, Mrs. Stariha wanted me to post how "To a Louse" was a very ironic piece. If you remember, this story was about how a louse was making its home on a very nice lady and the the narrator was saying to the louse how it didn't belong there and how it belonged on a much more poor person instead. Well, the diction used was very plain and choppy, not at all elaborate or sophisticated, which implied that the narrator was a poor man himself. So the irony is that the poor man was telling the louse to stop harming the nice lady and to harm someone like himself instead. The social commentary here is showing how society forces people to think that the higher end of society is superior in every way to the lower class and the lower class seems to follow along with that rule and even support putting themselves down to elevate the higher class even more in some cases.

Snow during Spring Break is just depressing.

It's really sad when Brit Lit starts seeping into your everyday life. A few days ago I found myself listening to Lily Allen in the car and realized quite a few of her songs could be considered satire. Then I heard a song that reminded of the Passionate Shepard, and The Nymph's Reply. Even little things like the new Arthur movie reminds me of OFK and all the posters we made. I'm bracing myself for even more connections as we move more into the modern times.
Also, for all of you that went somewhere nice and sunny break- It's cold, it's cloudy, and it's snowing. This is not okay.
