Beauty- the author mainly spoke about Dove and their marketing. How they advertise women that arent perfect but they stillhave ebauty. i agree with Dove and i think its great that they are trying to publicize outside of the America image but i also feel like they are only in for the advertising and money because some of their other prducts revolve around the America image.
Denial- okay this whole denial thing was a little over the top. Denial is no where near a disease. The fact that that was stated in the article was a bit over the top. Denial come from fear or information. Many people deny things because they are not ready to face their reality. That is all that is.
Evil- Evil is with us every single day. it is put into play and the results are often times destructive. Evil comes about when there are no good intentions. Unlike the other articles on beauty and ddenial i think this author did a great job defining evil. I agree with him.

Yankee Questions

1. The quality of the Yankees. They do not help anyone out until they ask for that.
2. Damn yankees makes people think that the music that the yankee is good at is their things. thats a allusion. I dont know about allusions 2 and 3 though
3. one thing the author didnt do is give an exact deifinition of the yankees. All that was discussed was the quality of them.
4. When it comes to yankees americans probably think of the baseball team.

A Modest Proposal

1) It was saying that the poor citizens of Ireland could stop being a burden to the coutry and help with whatever they have.
2)

As to my own part, having turned my thoughts for many years upon this important subject, and maturely weighed the several schemes of other projectors, I 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., 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.

paragraph 6

The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned one million and a half, of these 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. I again subtract fifty thousand for those women who miscarry, or whose children die by accident or disease within the year. There only remains one hundred and twenty thousand children of poor parents annually born. The question therefore is, how this number shall be reared and provided for, which, as I have already said, under the present situation of affairs, is utterly impossible by all the methods hitherto proposed. For we can neither employ them in handicraft or agriculture; we neither build houses (I mean in the country) nor cultivate land: they can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing, till they arrive at six years old, except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier, during which time, they can however be properly looked upon only as probationers, as I have been informed by a principal gentleman in the county of Cavan, who protested to me that he never knew above one or two instances under the age of six, even in a part of the kingdom so renowned for the quickest proficiency in that art.

paragraph 7

I am assured by our merchants, that a boy or a girl before twelve years old is no salable commodity; and even when they come to this age they will not yield above three pounds, or three pounds and half-a-crown at most on the exchange; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriment and rags having been at least four times that value.

 3) In paragraph 9 when he was talking about eating the kids i think the readers probably came to the conclusion that this was a pretty modest paper. hence the name of the story.

4) Swifts main target has got to be the British for treating the Irish so terribly but i also feel like he felt the
irish did not try hard to better themselves.

5) Basically Swift if trying to state that the Irish need to better themselves but they wont do so sufficiently with the surroundings being what they are.

6) In the last paragraph he kind of leaves the readers wondering if he is serious or not when mentioning how he has no kids to donate.

7) I cant find any other techniques. If people feel theyre being mistreated it is there job to speak up and let someone know how they feel.

Why i want a wife - Judy Brady

1) It was a clear thesis.She continuously stated that she wanted a wife.
2) The effect of this repetition is the remembrance of what she wants. She wants a wife whom can do this and do that. By her continuously stating her desire to have a wife its clear how much she really wants one.
3) I think Brady doesn't necessarily want a wife. I think right now, she is a bit overwhelmed with everything she has to do so she would love assistance. Having a wife would take the workload she has off of her shoulders.
4) After reading this article it actually made me a tad bit nervous for the day that i become a wife. Am i really going to inherit all of these responsibilities? If so i am definitely not ready. Seems as if women have a lot to do with so little time.
5) Judy Brady, I really admired your article. I like how you weren't being literal when you said you want a wife. At first i was a bit confused and wondered did you really want a wife but then your point became clear. I admire this article and how you describe basically what you do on a daily basis. There was nothing that i did not enjoy.

Thurber's Fables

The first one i read was The Little Girl and The Wolf i liked this one because it suprised me. I thought it was going to be the same exact story as Little Red Riding Hood just worded differently but i was wrong. The ending was actually pretty funny. I would say the only way this was similar to the previous fables i read yesterday is theres a moral to the story.
The second one i read was The Bear. Unlike The Little Girl and The Wolf i did not catch on to a story he was comparing it too. I assumed Goldy Locks and The Three Bears but i'm pretty sure i was wrong. This story was another one that made me laugh. I wasnt shocked about anything that happened but it was a bit enjoyable.
Finally, the third one i read was The Bird and i did not really enjoy this one because again i do not know what story he was attempting to compare it too. The story did not make a lot of sense to me but i still tried to read it. if i were to compare this story to the previous ones i would say that the characters are extremely unrealistic. For example: bears, wolves, etc..

Extended Poem from Pictures

 Though i am roped up and kept from all of the land i still make it evident that i am on demand. Nothing can stop me from feeling like myself i keep on dreaming and this life is a bluff.

I drown in my elegance but i often need to repent. I keep a lot inside this legalistic lifestyle is not for me one day i pray to break free. I often feel like they wont allow me to be me.They think that what i chose to do does not define beauty. I believe beauty comes from within. No crown, no gown can paint a picture of my feelings.One day they'll understand but it takes time for revealing. My heart needs healing because they dress me up everyday. But im convinced that one day it wont be this way. Once im set free they will be exposed to true beauty, something they've never known, something ill surely show.

I did everything that i could but none of it worked. i am in love with this man but what i do is not enough. His life is what i could not save his destination is to the grave.
I think I'm the top notch bug when they come to me i say "Please don't nag" But they carry on with their  _________________
I intend to keep it classy but my heart turns out to be nasty. The modern day me is who i will always be.
I'm as white as can be but I'm  enhanced with beauty. The whole town knows  me and the other women despise me.

Prisoner Reaction

Prisoner Reaction

            Extended 2^nd period was the last thing I wanted to deal with. I figured it was going to be just another lecture hour. Teachers saying “blah, blah, blah.” “Do this, do that.” I immediately got annoyed and headed to the gym just like the rest of the seniors. When we got in there, there were a bunch of men standing there with signs hanging on them. I immediately became curious. When they started sharing their stories it kind of hit me. No I did not cry I just felt some kind of way. I felt like what they were saying was something that a lot of people needed to hear. Especially the senior class because right now we are making some of the biggest decisions of our lives. Some people broke down during the presentation and some people shook their head in disbelief. Thinking “Did they really just say that there is more to life than drinking and smoking.” It unfortunate that some people think that way. Anyways, what was coming for the prisoners mouths was somewhat relatable. We all Went through a time when we followed the crowd and got lost in it. It’s a dangerous path and their presentation was an eye-opener.
