JIM

In the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", there is an african character called Jim. From what I've read about him, he isn't very bright, plus he is superstitious.

Scene#1: Jim is a man who is portrayed as a superstitious person as in the book. He acts as if he is able to talk with spirits of either the afterlife, either good or evil.

Scene#2: Jim looks more clever and caring in this one. He was like a slave, who is owned by another person and is obliged to follow orders or else pain or death could be consequences. Jim wants to escape to a free-state to begin a new better life.

Both scenes portrayed Jim very differently. They both had totally different personalities and duties.

Satire in Shrek 2.

1.) Exaggeration: To show something to be larger, smaller, better, or worser than what it actually is. Ex: When donkey keeps saying "No one said I have the right to speak!" (I think)

2.) Incongruity: Not in harmony. Ex: Fairy godmother's scene when she gives Fiona a bunch of many different gifts.

3.) Reversal: The change to an opposite direction of an action. Ex: When Fiona denies her fairy godmother's luxurious gifts.

4.)An imitation of someone or something with humor into it and comic effect. Ex: When the sleeping beauty was in deep sleep and just fell to the floor.

Kindred Project Questions.

1.) My favorite found poem is the one that starts with "The room seemed to blur and darken around me"

2.) My favorite picture was the group of Jasmine Sage. Some great art they put onto their poster.

3.) My favorite quote is "Seconds count when something is trying to kill you." This is actually from my group. This tells a lot from the story because it actually does show events in the story that have situations about life or death. The word "seconds" is important too because time traveling is the reason for the main character going through dangerous situations.

4.) After reading about the characters, I believe thinks could probably get worser from what I read. I think Rufus will be terribly raised by his bad father and turn Rufus exactly like him, which will lead to torture against slaves and perhaps against Dana's ancestors as well.

Slavery and America Today.

How did slavery change America? Slavery changed America by affecting the attitude towards true freedom to African descendants. Even though slavery is no more, there is still some hatred left for some Americans towards Africans descendants.

Satire

Satire: The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices.

An example of satire is Family Guy.

There's Something About Paulie -Season 2. In this send up of the mobster mentality in which Peter is enlisted to see that Big Fat Paulie, a Jersey mobsters relative is taken care of during his visit to Quahog, when he accidently gets Paulie to put a hit out on Lois. Chaos ensues, ending in the Godfather's daughter's wedding and a Tiramisu. Classic family guy humor with some solid asides.

Note to...

Dear ....,

I would like to persuade Resistance to Civil Government to you and for others who are also on my side.

The greatest obstacles to this happening seem to be because of the whites trying to look supreme to all the other races.

I am also worried about the lives at risk for the slaves.

What do you think of slavery?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Kervin Cano

Thoreau's Walden.

1.) Why did Thoreau move to Walden? He loved to be around nature not civilization so well. He believed that nature and human soul were divine.

2.)What was his life like there? It was peaceful, away from all the technology he believes is blackening the way the people live further in time.

3.)What did he criticize in modern life? There is no need to move on with all the new man made creations when he believes all people need to live happily after is nature only.

4.) Do you agree or disagree with his critique? I am like in between because I also like nature too and hope to live around it, but technology is also important because the more advanced it gets the more benefits. Overall, I like his idea, so I agree I prefer nature to stay than technology we pretty much are well advanced now.
