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.

my one thing..

all this new technology is getting to our head,
thats why the united states is so obeise because everyone's in bed.
their laptops, their ipods, there cell phones. over used.
the fast food, mcdonalds, burger king, and taco bell. abused.
alcohol and weed, kids have problems these days.
thats why obama is trying new things and different ways.
our education is very important to have a stable career.
maybe all the pressure is driving kids to fear.
the economy is failing and we have to bring it up,
its on our generation to make our economy tough.
so to say the least just try your best,
because everything in life just seems to be a test.

Gullive's Travels

This has to be my favorite reading so far out of all we have read. The idea of far away lands where there are people 6 inches tall and others where men are 12 times taller than a normal man. From reading it i find a sense of size and tolerance, it seems the smaller people are all wrapped in war, and use his height and strength as a weapon. But it he hadn't said enough than the would have used him to take over all of the short people on both sides. Then later he travels and comes across the taller people. They are so at peace, they listened to all he had to tell about his home land then called them "... the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to craw upon the surface to the earth." then he tried to tell him the composition of gun powder and he was told he might want to keep that to himself. It was destructive and to them uncivilized. It made me think that the shorter you get the more destructive your nature. Like little mice just fighting for survival.

Infant Sorrow

what really grabbed my attention was the use of past tense in the first stanza "my mother groaned, my father wept". I think i was a story of the past how he was helpless to his fathers power. It was just his way of showing the oppression that people were under in that time. How that the church had power over all the people and there was nothing that they could do about it.

Infant Sorrow

This peom is sad. It show that poor people and kids didn't really have much at all. Another child meant another mouth to feed and cloth. Back then it was hard if you didn't have money. Without money you couldn't survive like you should of. You get what you can and then you deal with it.

I didn't really understand this story it was very confusing, but i guess it was about hair and how a guy wanted to cut off some of this girls hair. Well when i read it i didn't get any of that out of it. I think that the rhyming through confused me. This story was confusing and i don't understand the meaning behind it.
