2010 B Ap Poem response

I would  probably run out of things to say about it I couldn't think of enough detail but because this is a poem that I can kind of relate with it would be a little bit easier to respond to.

Thesis: Through the use of tone and point of view the authors, Samuel Johnson, and A.E. Housman give advice on adulthood and becoming and adult through their own experiences.

  I would first give a general summery and talk about how they are the same and then continue on to talking about point of view and how its third person then first person . I would then discuss tone as far has the authors point of view.

Homework#10 Thursday "Don't Read with Your Eyes"

In the section "Don't Read with Your Eyes" Foster is suggesting that to fully understand the text you have to put yourself in the characters position especially if it is set during a different time period or setting such as a war zone in Iraq. An example would be the book "Kite Runner" in the book when the Taliban arrive later in the book the characters are happy and are even taking pictures with them because they had stopped fighting in their town and was just happy it was peaceful and that a child could play outside without getting a limb blown off. This could throw the reader off and cause them to take the main character(s) as the protagonist instead of the good guy because of prior historical knowledge. This could also be because of bias and prior context as well as the fact that the reader doesn’t find out until later that the Taliban were actually bad guys and took over the town killing the main characters best friend.

So he has a soft spot for humans and he brings one home even though she has been bitten in a hospital, mainly because she is a doctor and could possibly come up with a cure for vampirism.

Homework#10 Monday "He's Blind for a reason"

In the book "Kite Runner" By; Kahaled Hosseini the main character’s father is the one that is "blind" for about half of the book. He is concerned with his personal gain and can't understand his son because he is not a "manly man". He is always aggravating Amir about not fighting back, and when Amir's best friend gets raped Amir doesn't tell anyone especially his father because he is afraid he will disown him. Amir’s father is also never there as well as the fact that he is hiding demons that are haunting him constantly as the boys grow apart after the incident. When they escape to the United States Amir’s father is also not cultural and doesn’t realize that most of the people from Russia or other  that have come to the US like his doctor are not soldiers or spies trying to steal government secrets or hurt them. 

Homework#9 Thursday Its all political

In "The Jungle" Upton Sinclair tells a story about a family who comes to the US not knowing what they are getting themselves into. That it is a literal Jungle of political corruption. He is also experiencing this in his own life and since you just can't straight call out major players in politics even if you aren't a MILQUETOAST you can write a book about what their doing and their corruptness. These INCREDULOUS atrocities were going on in Sinclair's life so he wrote about them and all of the political corruptness in his life. This was a time when people everywhere needed money and could be bribed very easily. This also was the reason that the food industry was suffering from the “mean green”. Companies that seemed MUNDANE were cutting corners to make an extra dollar and the fact that the food at the time was not regulated. In theory it was but legislators were bribed so they looked the other way and companies got away with anything.
