Reviewsss

Watchmen Review
   This is not a good review.  It has a lengthy introduction that has nothing to do with the movie at all.  It criticises the length of the movie.  It says that the opening scene is the best part of the movie which is not true at all.  This person must not have liked this kind of movie.

The Homer of the Ants
  This is too long to read.  Why are reviews of books and movies so long?  Nobody wants to read these... Like really..

The Road
   This is a good review.  It describes the book with a brief summary.  It then goes into the analysis of the book.  It gives a positive outlook on the book and gave it a good review.  It has little criticisms of the book.

Analysis

Collins does not want to turn ten.  He is in love with the simplicities of the younger years of his life and is not looking forward to getting older and having more responsibilities.
Collins is trying to say that he does not want to turn ten.  He loved the younger years of his life and is not looking forward to getting older.  He captures it as describing who he was at that certain age, using different metaphors to describe who he was.  This poem is effective because of the imagery used through out the poem.

Definition Essay Examples Response

The three essays give different views of the different words.  The first essay uses everyday examples to relate to the word beauty.  The second essay uses the dictionary definition to describe the word denial.  The third essay uses definitions provided by other people. 
  All three essays do a good job at describing the words, they all define the words with a different approach, deriving from different sources.

Beauty: How other people view you.
Deinal: asserting to be untrue or untenable.
Evil: A shallow, deadly, fungus quality.

Spring Break Postttt

Over spring break I did an assortment of things including poop dollar, went to hocking hills, and slept in.  One of the funnest parts was going to hocking hills with my friends.  We climbed around some rocks and in some caves, no big deal whatever.  Kyle Clarke is the biggest pu$$y about heights and doing dangerous things. 

Defination Questions

1.  There are some ideas that could be considered fresh, but they are 3 days old, if they were apples they could be bruised.
2.  Like the baseball team.
3.  No, there are not.
4.  I did not understand the allusions.
5.  The author uses real world examples to show his meaning of the definition fo a Yankee.
6.  Thesis staement: In time, though, the idea that the word Yankee suggests has shrunk geographically until it is on the verge of extinction.

A Modest Proposal

1. The thesis of the story is that the Irish should change their way of life.

2. 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.
    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,

3. After paragraph 10 because the author was crazy for eating children, and making busnesses and factories for children I began to see that it was a satire. 

4. The poor Irish and the rich English people.  They are also to blame because it is their fault for not being able to provide for their children, but having children.

5. Its almost all a saterical act.  He suggests stopping abortion to improve conditions of living.

6. Its his suggestion but he is giving excuses so he is not affected by it.

7. He uses stories and stats to show how much it cosst to raise a child to age one and how much it costs to sell it.  

8. I would market babies for their exceptionally soft skin, people would go crazy to get their hands on it.  It would shoot right to the top of the in list this season.

Why I Want a Wife Response

1.  I believe that the thesis is implied in the first paragraph of the story.

2.  The effect of the repetition is that you really know that she wants a wife.

3.  I do not believe that she wants this wife, I think that she wants to become this type of wife, and want everyone to know what she has to go through everyday.

4.  She organizes the different things about being a wife in an order that makes sense. She sort of creates the ideal image of a wife, although it seems like how a regular wife would be it seems completely outrageous that all these tasks could be completed with no problems.

5.  I admire the values in your essay about how the ideal wife should be.  I consider your essay to be both effective and pursuasive.  Good Job.
