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.

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.
