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.

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.

Dr. Seuss freewrite

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.

Airplanes lyrics freewrite

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.
