Research Paper Part 2

I think that the 2nd part of the assignment won't be too hard. All we have to do is write 4 paragraphs about 2 different analysis'. I'm not really looking forward to the last part though.

the final exam.

i think that the exam is really going to help with our essay writing skills? and to put more detail into our thoughts and really get us to know a lot more about authors and how they use alot of their life in their own story. :) it's interesting.

shooting elephant.

this story had alot more meaning than i thought, and the underlying thought was much more meaniningful to the author as long as the audience as well. i really liked how many things in this story seemed to have double meaning, and even though that power point had alot of redudant questions it was still helpful to figure out the full meaning of the story and get more of a grasp.

Shooting An Elephant

When I first read this I didn't really think that deeply into it but after looking back on it, it shows a lot of societal issues. The natives were poor and the British man was known as the upper class, but in the end, the large mass of natives ended up controlling him. He was pressured into killing the elephant because he did not want to look like a fool.

The lady in the looking glass

This story to me is about the fact of how money is not everything. In the story she has lots of possesions and money but no actual friends. It shows that money can not buy happiness, because she had many things but without it she is a loser with no friends. The concept of the looking glass is a little confusing to me, why was it needed for us to be able to view of her life? It was also a little creeperish because it felt like we were spying on the women.

Shooting an elephant

Shooting the elephant was an interesting story showing the british control in india. But in a sense the indians had control of there land because they strongly outnumbered the british. just like in the story when the man goes to kill the elephant he is followed by many people. And in a way he is controlled by them. Also when he sends for the gun he seals the fate that he is going to kill the elephant. It shows how the pressure from the people force him to kill it.

The Lady in the Looking Glass

This story made more sense after we discussed it in class. I like how she thought that isabella was so popular because she got so many letters in the mail, but come to find out they werent letters but they were bills. This story actually wasnt that bad.
