The world is flat

The world is flat, everyone knows this because when we walk its flat.  Here on earth there is no roundness to it.  If the world was round when we walked on it every corner would be round and we would fall.  On maps you see, the world is flat.  It's all straight lines, straight roads.  There is no proof that the world is round, therfore it is flat because of my reasons above.

poem analysis

I feel like he just had a hard transition from childhood to adulthood and he doesnt really know how to deal with it.  He obviously wishes he could go back in time to his childhood.  He captures childhood by giving such good details about when he was younger and from age to age.  I do agree with him that life was more fun and easier when we were younger but there's a point in everybodys life when we have to grow up and become "big kids."

fairytales

Beauty and the Beast: Tells a story of a girl that just wishes for a beautiful rose, but gets a beast. Her father truely loves her, and he gets a borken heart because he knows his daughter is  locked in a castle with a beast. At first Beauty was upset she had to live with a scary looking monster, but then she seen the real him. She realizes he is  a sweet handsome man that she soon marrys. The moral of the story is you can fall in love with someone, not from the outside but how they are inside.

Little Red Riding Hood: She was supposed to take her grandma that is sick some cakes. But on the way to her grandmas she got distracted by alot of things, then she went off of the path even though her mother told her not to. When she arrived to her grandmas the big bad wolf was their

thruber

The little girl and the wolf: I like this sattire because it's not often you hear about a story with a little girl shooting someone, especially a wolf trying to be her grandmother.

The Bear: I like this one because the moral of the story is very good, and the way the author demonstrated how everything was happenening when he took a drink, and when he got his excersise.

The fox and the crow: I like this sattire because the crow in some way "schools" the fox on what being a crow is really about, and he knows that the fox is sly.

modest proposal

1. The real thesis in this essay was ”I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ...” Yes I think that there are other thesis', because he also talked a lot about ways on improving Ireland and how to solve their poverty situation.

2. In the paragraphs 4, 6, and 7 the appeals to logic are put into mathematical terms like when they says "at most not above the value of 2s., which the mother may certainly get, or the value in scraps, by her lawful occupation of begging; and it is exactly at one year old that I propose to provide for them in such a manner as instead of being a charge upon their parents or the parish, or wanting food and raiment for the rest of their lives, they shall on the contrary contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing, of many thousands." Or "I calculate there may be about two hundred thousand couple whose wives are breeders; from which number I subtract thirty thousand couples who are able to maintain their own children, although I apprehend there cannot be so many, under the present distresses of the kingdom; but this being granted, there will remain an hundred and seventy thousand breeders.that esssay was ironic it was in paragraph 4 when he said "have always found them grossly mistaken in the computation. It is true, a child just dropped from its dam may be supported by her milk for a solar year, with little other nourishment; at most not above the value of 2s.,
.

4) The children, the elderly, and the parents. He thinks it's sad that the beggars have to sacrifice so much just for their family. They are in the streets begging in rags, and they are all dirty. The Irish are the ones to blame. He identifies himself with the socialist groups.

5)Yes it does. Swift does present proposals for improving functions; he says eat the children and everything will be better.

6.) Yes, I think that the essay does function as a satirical attack, basically towards Englandand no he really didn't propse any new proposals.

7.) The narrator is describing the life their and what it's like to be poor and live out as a beggar. Then he starts to discuss how we can fix the problem but he was being sarcastic about it. Then towards the end of the essay he became more serious about the problem he was discussing.

8.) I felt that Swift's piece was pretty good.It strenghtens his moments. The movement has apretty big impact. He points out the flaws of that country and makes you want to do something about it. He really makes you visualize what they were going through, which makes you want to make a difference and help.

9.) I don't think that it could be done because that's something that's so immoral.

Valentines sonnet

Valentines is a day to celebrate love.  For some it is a good, for some it isnt.  in my opinion most people should learn to enjoy this day and not be so negative about it if they dont have a boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife.  you dont have to have a signaficant other to celebrate this day you can celebrate it with your family and friends!  it definately isnt one of my favorite holidays but i enjoy it when i spend it with the people i love. and the people that love me.

Why i want a wife questions

1.
2. it makes you think about having a wife and for some people it probably makes them want a wife too.
3.I don't think she really wants a wife like that.  i think some of the things she would enjoy from a wife but not ever single thing that was said.  to me this spouse is unrealistic and i dont think there should be wifes like this out there.  i feel like a wife needs to please their spouse but it is both of the parents jobs to take care of the children and what the children have going on and balanace it with what they have going on in their lives.
4. She explains the ideal wife of like years ago to me.  she describes what some people think every wife should be like. how they should take on all the duties of the family, cook, clean, take care of the children, and i think she wants people to respond to this with how they feel like this isn't how the world and marriages work anymore. most of them atleast.
5. I liked the whole essay.  I thought it was a good essay and i do agree with her on most of the things said.  but i also think that the husband needs to be doing the same thing.  in a marriage it takes both of the people in it not just one so everything that was said in this essay should be vise versa. for example a husband needs to keep track of the kids dentist and doctor appts. and the husband also needs night out on his own. most things in marriages work both ways, in my eyes.  i feel like this was a persuasive essay because it persuas people to think about how a wife and or marriage should work and be.
