"A Modest Proposal"

     In my opinion the criteria in, " A Modest Proposal," is true because the author explains the difference between people that were laborers, servants ,slaves ,and babes and how they had different type of  ways on developing their babies. The use of satire in the article is selling babies as foods and putting them out to markets. These families usually have children that they are not in very good economic levels so they have no other choice into selling  their babies. The author is using satire to make the reader attach to the article it might sound gross and unpleasant when your reading it but the author uses satire to imply a political point through society.

My Big Question

Objective: To understand perfection in life and how it doesn't exist?

Why aren't people perfect? Why don't we have the ability to make things perfect? Why do we have some mentality when you do things good you think its perfect? How come some people think that you can do things perfect and then you don't have perfect theirs people with issues due to mentality or having low self esteem? Why is their one person in the whole entire universe that is perfect? What stops us from being perfect? What would the world be like if everyone was perfect? (if every little thing in our world would be perfect?)

Most importantly how did the word perfect existed? Who made up the word perfect?

"Everything is Amazing"

              In the video, " Everything is amazing /Nobody's Happy," interview by Louis K and how he uses Satire through out his interview. One of the ways he uses Satire is when he makes a joke out of  the old generation the the new one. For example when he talks about the situation on phones how they will stand next to the wall to be able to talk and now days they can be walking around on the phones. He also mention when people will be on their phones and on the planes using the internet and when it slows down they will be," why is it so slow" and Louis K mentions I don't like how they are in space can they give it a minute is going to space and then it comes back down. Overall Louis K use many satires to explain how people are ungreatful.

Satire

 Satire is irony humor,  sarcasm to expose stupidity and vices with the intent of improving social condition.

The first picture is a satire because its criticizing two different groups whites and browns. I know this  because the policeman is speaking English and the prisoners are Mexican because they are speaking Spanish and they don't understand what the policemen says.

The second picture is satire because its judging someone by the way they look they are stereotyping them.  For example, he is using his phone and they are judging him by saying that he is a drug dealer only because he is speaking on the phone; so this is satire because its stereotyping but also has the sense of humor by bringing up the stupidest ideas.

The last picture is satire because its dividing the border the United States and Mexico and the Mexican man, is all armed and the American guy  is asking for help. In addition this picture has humor because in real life is usually Mexico asking the USA for help.

"The Right to Your Opinion" Response

                The article," Right to Your Opinion," made me think about life decisions and knowing your rights. Many people have different opinions in whatever subject we talk about others disagree and agree on whatever terms we have; the big question hear is do people care what our opinion is and do we agree with them. This article made me think when we talk to a person and ask them what they think about a topic or your opinion that you mention to them should they care. In the article it mention," Learning your rights can also mean discovering that you do not really have the right you think you do."  This sentence made me realize do we have the right to speak are we allowed to give our opinion or do we silence ourselves. Overall, do we have the right on making opinions.

 

" The Laughing Heart"

  The poem, " The Laughing Heart, " was inspiring because it states the true between life. The poem helps us realize that sometimes life is not always so great and when life is not so great we chose to give up and sink ourselves, instead of finding the way out of that whole, that is sinking us to fail in life. The poem inspires to take chances and to find the light through opportunities in life in where there's hope and unexpected chances.
