My decision

My decision in life was in 8th grade when I had been a part of a incident which involved a prank on me to try and "pants" me. Just as the attempt was being made a staff was walking by and no one noticed so we all got caught. The punishment was a referral and suspended for 1 day. I couldn't be suspended, my parents don't like me in trouble and I know the consequences of being suspended at my house. So I had to choose to lie so I get in trouble or tell the truth and have my friend in trouble. My decision was to tell the truth because the punishment from home would be worse.

Rebuttal to Mark Twain

Mark Twain says humans are below the common animal. But how can a man be below a animal when animal can just do simple things to survive. Humans can do that too but we can also help others unlike some animals. He states that hunting was a sport, but I say how is it sport when you hunting for food. Animals also hunt for food and we can't really know if it is for sport or just what it really is because we can only imagine.

This image is satire through comedy. It shows men inside a box in a innovation warehouse. And they get a idea to try thinking outside the box.

Roughing It by Mark Twain age 37, 1872

In the story Roughing It , it talks about Mr. Young who is a man with many wives. He gave one of his wives(#6) a breast pin, which then made the rest of the wives want one too. So there began the problem for him when each wive comes in and asks for one as he is having a conversation with Mr. Johnson. It also talking about the Goshute Indians and how inferior they are to everything. Finally he writes about the CHinese on how harmless they are on the Pacific coast.

The satire I've noticed was when he says he will buy his wives(all) the breast pins just go get them away.

The Hour questions

Questions for The Hours

1. Describe the three female characters in great detail? What do they have in common?

How do they differ? How does their era influence who they are?

Virginia Woolf- author of book. Jealous of sister for having children.

Lora- Suicidal, wants to kill herself but her son’s love prevents her from doing so.

Miss Delaware- Spends time with Richard(boyfriend, husband) who has Aids. Richard suicides by jumping off window because he thinks he burdens her.

They are all interested in reading to escape the reality of their lives.

2. Compare/Contrast these female characters with the female characters from the

literature weʼve read.

Through out what we read so far women mostly rely on men through the books.

In the Hour the women do not rely on any men but more on literature to get them through everything.
