This Boy's Life

Look at the two quotes that open the memoir. Do you agree with the quotes? How do people assume poses in high school? Why is corruption a part of life?

" The first duty in life is to assume a pose. What the second is, no one has yet discovered"- Oscar Wilde

"he who fears corruption fears life"-Saul Alinsky

I disagree with both of these quotes, no one shall assume a pose but rather learn to discover who they really are as a person and their likings and meanwhile the second quote is quite drastic corruption is not necessarily a fear on life but simply part of life and as much as we wish there was no corruption in life we just have to deal with it and work around it to make life suitable. People in high schools are very judgemental to "poses" considering them as very fake, and people who just ridiculous. Corruption is part of life because of peoples wrong decisions, yet for need or for the being of doing a bad action.

Rising action: Nick Carraway meets Jay Gatsby at his mansion during one of the parties that he throws. Nick and Gatsby get intellectually close to one another in a sense that they begin to chill, or else spend time with one another. Jay Gatsby then goes on to ask Nick whether or not he can arrange a meeting with himself and Daisy. Climax: Tom realizes that Gatsby is in love with his wife Daisy, and becomes weary of it. He gets upset and asserts that he and Daisy have a relationship that goes so far back and to a depth that Gatsby would never fathom. Tom’s other lover is struck and killed by Daisy while she is driving in her car. Gatsby is killed by Wilson.Falling Action: Nick Carraway arranges a funeral for Gatsby who was shot by Tom while at his house sun bathing in his pool. Nick ends his relationship with Jordan.

pr-2

A stout, middle-aged man, with enormous owl-eyed spectacles, was sitting somewhat drunk on the edge of a great table, staring with unsteady concentration at the shelves of books. As we entered he wheeled excitedly around and examined Jordan from head to foot.”What do you think?” he demanded impetuously."

pr-3

?

pr-4

I would think he was chosen because not much was known of him just like Gatsby. All known was that he was the neighbor, mainly as the observer and the reason for why Daisy reunites with Gatsby for once and for all. His telling of the story does limit alot of what is going on and to what the reader could go on and foreshadowing.

pr-5

Society mainly determines much of a person, where people want to fit in, many critical wheter on being proper or simply fake due to not much being known, but yet alone an individual himself cannot do much on what is thought and said about them.

Possibly because he never chose a side and who better to tell than smeone who wasnt really involved in what was ging on but simply just observed.

Mo Money Mo Problems

I would believe that usually the fastest way to get money unfortunately is through illegal practices or unmoral or simply what is viewed by some as unprofessional and not quite accepted in society, such as selling drugs and people and their body. The best way to make a lot of money would be through actual education and a dignified job rather than illegal and unsafe practices. The difference between new money and old money would be Rockafeller would be an example of old money and bill gates would be new money.

Intelligent Design

I would think that Intelligent design is the believe that what is taught in textbooks are simple hypothesis and that the actual way to figure is through evidence and experience and creative thinking. The greatest argument against evolution is that its thought less as science in that it hasn't really been proved.

In this department of Creation studies you would learn about the history of creation. For a more in depth discussion they offer a stronger interest for the study of origins and on the study of scientific as to bible views on the creation of the universe.

The Lowest animal writing pg 476 YOURE WRONG MR TWAIN

Dear, Mr. Twain

I have came across your writing and I'll have to admit that your absolutely wrong Mr. Twain. With all do respect Man is not as vicious, savage, false and full as revenge as you write about. Its true there are people exactly to how you have described but you cant judge a group by a simple individual in this case the whole human race for one persons mistakes in life. Man has a lot to offer to this world, those who are wealthy contributing to the most miserable conditions of poverty around the world. Teaching others from what is right and wrong is an attribute that people continue to grow up to and make good deeds. You cant judge Mr. Twain because there is a positive view to life and not everyone is full of greed and negativity, you just have to meet the right people.

Sincerely, Karina Gonzalez

Huck's Tough Decision

Have you ever had to make a decision that went against your parents, your religion or the society? Explain why the decision was so tough. Do you think you made the right decision?

I have, and no it was not the right decision. It was more of a state of being headstrong to simply do what you want, knowing it wasn't exactly the best choice, now that I look back at what I did I know I have to avoid being so stubborn and use common sense rather than carrying on wit poor decisions that will always result with consequences.

Satirical Cartoons

Post a link to a Satirical Cartoon. What is it satirizing? Is it using parody, exaggeration or non-congruity?

It Satirize the constant topics that society wants to hear about or that important to let the people know about, It uses parody by comparing how a writer goes on in the morning deciding what topic to choose from as to what clothing may he choose to go off to work/write/publish that same day. I would believe that this cartoon doest necessarily show any non-congruent since its a simple harmonious decision to make not so problematic.

Norman Mailer's View of Women Writers

Look up the words you don't know. What is his view? What are his prejudices and stereotypes? Do you agree with any of his ideas? What ideas do you disagree with?

His view towards women is that they are hard to understand, they are "tiny" soft and too emotional. I disagree with his idea, of a twisted tongue when he refers to Virginia Woolf. She does express her self in a rare manner but its evident she shoes emotion. If you were to put yourself in her shoes its not as hard to understand what she is trying to get to.

story of an hour

This is a story by Kate Chopin. Compare/contrast this story to Ethan Frome.

"Story of an Hour" and "Ethan Frome" are both similar in the irony each story holds. Yet each being very different obviously to their plot overview on how they die and some do not necessary die but they are not as capable to continue off alone with their lives. Like in the case of Ethan Frome indeed ironically Mattie and Ethan were both trying to escape from Zeena, making a new life without her after death reffering to their suicidal attempt yet they both actually become paralyzed and Zeena is there to be their caretaker. Now in Story of an Hour Mrs. Mallard finds herself crying her soul out after knowing her husband possibly was part of a railroad accident. Her grief was not so much his death, but rather the thought of her freedom finally approaching her, yet it turns out did not even know of such accident, Mrs Mallard being shocked dies. "The Joy that Kills"-(Story of an Hour)

Women writers

Are women writers any different from men? Do they choose different topics? Do they have different writing styles? Do you prefer to read stories by men or women? Does it matter if a book is by a man or a woman?

I guess it all depends on the struggles life takes you and the way you've chosen to go on with life ethier solving the issue and not affecting you or had let that issue brought you down and never really solved it and have continued on stressing about that old problem of the past. Women can be very similar to men in their writing since both are free to write of what they wish and share as much emotion as they desire, however a major factor of pointing out the difference between men and women in writing is to what extent you show your emotion knowing or at least grown up to a society that women are always emotionally ill. Of course they choose different topics there will never be two writers alike especially one being a man and the other a women and their writing styles most of the time being different. I dont think it matters if a book is written by a man or women with this being said as long as one can identify or enjoy what they have to say I would prefer ethier or.

BARRIO EPOCH

HACIENDA PALMETTO

MACHISMO DESPERADO

LARIAT DIURNAL

SIESTA SCORE

It was in the BARRIO where I grew up next to Mr. Erasmos HACIENDA. A man full of MACHISMO however, his son Manuel was nothing like him on the contrary he was a very kind soul to which I grew very fond of. I remember the first day we met he taught me how to correctly use the LARIAT to control one of his fathers most beautiful horses named Daisy. After a long day of getting to know each other and taking full charge of Daisy I was completely exhausted and went home to take a SIESTA. He was a years older than me, If not much maybe 4 or 5 as time went by I seemed to be falling in love with him and he with me, it was an EPOCH i will never forget. One day while talking under a PALMETTO he confessed his love towards me, he told me that we should go on to the city and live our lives there together. I remember very clearly saying that was my foremost wish and desire, and together planned our sweet escape to be taken into action. It had been rumored among the village a DESPERADO was being searched for after his clever run away plan. I got chills down my spine as though it was some sort of sign, I never imagined my doom was near to fear. The day before Manuel and I's escape I went down to take a walk in the DIURNAL of the day. I heard a gun shot and screams nearby, soon after a SCORE of people crowded what seemed to be a body, feeling an ache in my heart I walked over to see the clash of future dreams slip right of my hands.
