So when he says the soup tasted better than ever or how the soup tasted like corpses. It relates to his feelings in the way that the man that deserved to be hung made him feel a certain way that made the soup taste like it was better. When the says that the soup tasted like corpses he is talking about when he had to watch a kid being hung but he was too light to be hung so he was just in and out of consciousness trying to breath. That when he explains that the soup tasted of corpses, because he was explaining that it tasted like death.
In Night they are in a train car that was hot and that they have to stand for room. They want water and lie down and need food. They stop at Kaschau. The Germans demand the deportees to give them any valuables or be shot. That also goes for everyone else if they try to escape they will be shot. On the third afternoon, the train stops at Auschwitz, Poland. Two deportees go get water and come back with bad news: families will remain together; the young will work in factories; the elderly and invalids will work in the fields. A German officer promises medical care in the hospital car. Near midnight, the prisoners see flames coming from a tall chimney. There are Tommy guns. Elie goes and fallows the men to the line to the left. The women go to the right and he never sees his mother or sister again. The officer’s look at the men and either kill them because they are not fit or send them to work if they look strong enough.
So this relates to the video about Kitty. She is a Jew during WW2 that was forced to go to the death camps and has survived. She went in with her whole family and when they got there all of her family was exterminated just like in the book Night. Only her and her mother survived. She witnessed the smoke from fire in the ditches to burn the people that were dead. She also witnessed the smoke coming from the incinerators that were cremating people. She listened to people being gassed alive thousands at one time. She was able to work in the bathroom that was for people to use, she cleaned the toilet basically, which meant good news because that means that they will not be beaten. All of her friends died there. She talked about how she kept the secret about the gas chambers killing the people right off the train because she didn’t want them panicked on their way to die. So that is a summary of what has happened so far in the book and the story of Kitty at the camps. He is important because Eliezer looked up to him because he was the teacher of Jewish mysticism and because he shared about god. Moshe is a poor Jew who lives in Sighet. He is deported before the rest of the Sighet Jews but he escapes and returns to tell the town what the Nazis are doing to the Jews. Tragically, the community takes Moshe for a lunatic. So when he comes back he tells the Jewish people that there were Nazis that killed babies by flinging them up and shooting them. So when he comes back the Jews though he was crazy and didn’t believe him. So when the Nazis come to the town to gather the Jews up they didn’t think anything of anything weird. So when the Nazis start rounding them up and forced them out to the center of town they are also beaten with clubs. They now realized that he was right. Then they were all forced to leave everything behind and load into a train car to take them away.
Nazis come to town. They are split up and people are searched. The police start clubbing Jews and force the whole group to run. Some think that the Germans are only out to steal the Jews’ valuables. Others think they’re being deported. Jews are out on the street and forced to leave. They all go to the synagogue, which has been converted into a sort of over-crowded train station, to transport them. Police load the Jews into cattle cars, seal the cars, and check to make sure the bars on the windows are secure. The train begins to move. So they are basically forced to leave in a train and are separated from everyone.
Confusing words: penury esteem regent Realism refers to any effort to offer an accurate and detailed portrayal of actual life or realists developed their settings in great detail in an effort to recreate a specific time and place for the reader. Naturalist creates characters who are victims of environmental forces and internal drives beyond their comprehension and control. In the story "How to build a fire" starts out with his dog, where he was trying to meet up with some friends at a mine that was a nine mile hike. He and his dog set out. It was negative -80 degrees, but he didn’t think anything of it. So he gets his legs wet. He tries to make a fire under a tree where it was out of the elements. The sticks that he takes from the tree he uses for the fire but the snow on the higher branches collapses and snuffs out the fire he made. That would be the example of naturalism the things you can’t control. The reason was that he couldn’t control the snow from falling on the fire. The realism part of it was that he had matches that he used to start the fire. He got it going with birch bark that he got from the tree. That would be the realism example.
Allegory means that it has two meaning or a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. So in Dr. Seuss there were sneetches that have stars on them and there were sneetches that don’t. The whole episode showed racism because of the fact that the sneetches with stars didn’t let the ones without stars from joining them in anything they did or they didn’t even let them talk to one another. The sneetches with stars segregated them off the beach made fun of them, and even kicked them out of the campfire. So a guy drove a truck that had a machine that put stars on the ones that didn’t so the sneetches without stars paid 3 dollars each to get a star put on them. Once they got those stars the other sneetches didn’t like that because now they would be considered equal. So the ones that had the stars to begin with went to the guy that put them on the others and had theirs removed for ten dollars, so that way they would be different again. So when the sneetches that got them removed the other ones also got theirs removed for ten dollars. So then they all couldn’t tell each other apart. So then they all went around in a figure eight getting the stars on and off and over and over until they all ran out of money. So the guy packed up the truck and left. When he left he laughed because they were now stuck with whatever stars or not they had. In the end all the sneetches accepted one another because they realized that it was silly to judge one another based on if they had stars or not because they found out that they were not different from one another like they thought in the beginning. So that is how it ties into allegory because it had two sides of the story one that thought they were better than others and the ones that wanted to be like the ones with stars.
The name of the poem.
b. The symbols c. What you think the symbol represents d. Evidence from the poem that supports your interpretation of each symbol. Sailing to Byzantium: 1.In Sailing to Byzantium I thought that the symbol Holy fire would represent heaven, because the fact that it’s saying that giving his soul to others. From the poem it says “O sages standing in God’s holy fire As in the gold mosaic of a wall, Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre, And be the singing-masters of my soul. Consume my heart away; sick with desire And fastened to a dying animal” 2.I think that hammered gold would be a good example might mean that they make things that are fit for an emperor. But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make Of hammered gold and gold enamelling To keep a drowsy Emperor awake The Second Coming: 1. In “The Second coming” I thought the falcon was a good symbol because it explains that the falcon cannot hear the falconer. Which to me I think that the falcon represents you and me and the falconer represents god. From the poem it says “The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere 2. The ceremony of innocence is drowned” I think that rocking cradle means Jesus manger that he was in as a baby Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, When you are old
And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled 10 And paced upon the mountains overhead, And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. Swift is suggesting solving the problem of poverty in Ireland. He comes up with the idea that the poor give up their children to be eaten by the wealthy. This is satire because satire states that is “a literary technique in which people’s behaviors or society’s institutions are ridiculed for the purpose of bringing about social reform and improving society”. He calls this a modest proposal even though that kids will be even which is funny because that is not being modest just letting a kid be eaten in order for the wealthy to have a good snack or even the fact that the kid will be eaten by anyone that wants one. He thinks that is a good way to reduce the population, the fact that a kid that is born just to be eaten would be crazy to think about.
Being modest means like low key, or the quality or state of being unassuming or moderate in the estimation of one's abilities, or the quality of being relatively moderate, limited, or small in amount, rate, or level. So in the poem he is not being modest at all. He was thinking about sacrificing kids in order to be someone’s meal. That is just crazy. If I was there I would say that that is wrong and he would have to be put in prison. To explain more about irony I think that he is trying to shed the light on the fact that the rules that we have are stupid. In contemporary speech, when we call something ironic, we often mean sarcastic. Like saying that you have a bike and you are on your way to work and the tire go’s flat, you say “great my day can’t get any better!” To have that tie into the story it is weird that the kids would feed the rich people and not the poor. In the sense that you are trying to help the poor but proposal only benefits the rich. Basically, like most other laws, it is in favor of the wealthy and not so much the poor. He is also being ironic about the fact that the Irish Catholics will just keep having kids. |
