Response #2 “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson and “Eveline” by James Joyce were the pieces that appealed to me the most. This could be because they were the first two stories that I read and by the time I got to the poems my attention span was dwindling away or because both stories have similar writing approaches. I can’t figure that out. I found “The Lottery” to be very eerie and disturbing. After I read it‚ I pictured M. Night Shyamalan making a creepy‚ dramatic film based on it. I think it’d

Danny Nazzaro Reading Response Paper 3/2/2014 Micah Mintz The Idea of civil forfeiture would seem outdated unless you were part of its sweeping experience. After reading such a story‚ I think it is unfair‚ obscured‚ and a way of America that people do not see. Although it seems ridiculous it does seem to have both negative and positive impacts. Civil forfeiture seems to keep law enforcement agencies running and fund their wants more than needs. The ability to seize money and use it for your

Horace Miner Response Horace Miner’s essay "Body Ritual Among The Nacirema" is deeper then a clever critique of the absurdities of the American culture. Other then mocking the science of anthropology‚ Miner shows how an outsider would view America. This sight would not be much different from an American viewing an uncivilized village in the middle of the forest. Miner’s essay extensively proves that the culture of America is not very different then many other civilizations. The perspective

It didn’t occur to me until I discussed the poem‚ “The Community College Revises Its Curriculum in Response to Changing Demographics” in class. How the author separates the lines in the poem makes it sound like a course catalog. “To changing Demographics” indicates that the society is changing in terms of nationality‚ religion‚ and ethnicity. The poem is especially in concern of Hispanic people in the United States. “Giving the police the ability to express themselves tersely” (3-6) is an abuse of

Crucible Reading Response The Crucible is a play based on a society ruled by theocracy. Danforth ‘s statement of “–a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it ‚ there be no road between” clearly demonstrates the Puritan’s prospective of seeing everything in black and white. Arthur Miller’s purpose of writing The Crucible was due to the close resemblance between the Salem Witch-trails and McCarthyism. They are both human tragedies that are driven by human fear. In
