Unit 8.!

1. After reading the essential questions i feel that this unit will be about imagination vs. the real life.! I feel that imagination is always good but to a certain extent.! At the end of the day the REAL always matters.! And social problems could be anything from murdering on the street to child abuse in your own home.! I think that we have a lot of social problems in our society today but never enough answers for them.!
2. "And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome." This is a part in the story that shows realism. It shows it because we know that she is already sitting looking out the window. She didnt have to make us imagine where the setting is because she told us everything we needed to know. Then she opens her arms wide and let the feeling or this angel into her.!
 "But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely." The social problem in this story is that ite 1894 and back then wives were pretty much told what to do in the household. Its not that she didnt love her husband, its that she was relieved that she would be free from being told what to do.! She wanted to be FREE FREE FREE..!!
3.In Battle with Mr Convey a lot is taking place in just these short days in the story.! "Mr. Convey took up a hickory slat with which Huges had been stroking off the half-bushel measure, and with it gave me a heavy blow upon the head" He is giving a lot of details so that we want use our imagination because its realism.!  "The blood was yet oozing from the wound on my head. For a time I thought I should bleed to death; and think now that i should have done so, but that the blood so matted my hair to stop the wound" This is also an example of realism because he's TELLING you whats happening to him.!
  The social problem in this story is slavery.! "After lying there about three quaters of an hour, I nerved myslf up again, and started on my way, through bogs and briers, barefooted and bearheaded, tearing my feet sometimes at nearly every step"
4. "Im untaimed I need a leash, im insane i need a shrink, i love brain i need a leech, Why complain on easy streets, ion even talk i let the Visa speak." This is a quote from the rapper Lil Wayne. I chose this because i feel this is an example of realism because he's telling us what he has and needs. And he's not letting us imagine or figure out what he needs.!
5. I like the Dark Romanticism because i feel that its more enjoyable to read the realism, I feel that it catches my attention more.!
     In Clown Town, a lot of strange things happen. Cars floating, moosing chirpping like birds, Tigers eating on Bulldawgs for brunch. No running water, can't even catch the Carta. A lot of weird and unfamiliar people live here. But this one family of animals sticks out the most about the town. Two furry feliens got together and created and Dotin (dog & kitten). This animal was a dog but instead of barking it meowed. Everywhere the animal went people knew who he was and who his parents were. He was teased a lot for what he was so he kept angry with his parents because of what they had made him but he never showed it. He was always calm and cool around his parents so they never knew. He sat alone in his room and drew pictures of his parents being eaten by this big furious beast. His parents never came up to his room so they never knew what he was doing. One day a pile of the drawing stood on the nightstand. The dog in lots of anger and having crazy thoughts about attacking. So a dogs instict is to capture and kill cats. The dog storming down the steps not darking but meowing in anger. He attacks his mother first by grasping hold of her neck and shaking and ringing her neck. He did this so much she was killed in the dogs mouth. During this the father cat was on the phone reporting the attack so the police were on there way. Before the police came the father was killed instantly by the dog. When the police arrived the dog was seized and captured and took in for questioning. He dog never could speak all it did was meow to the polices. They searched the home once again and found the drawings. The drawings were important to the polices because they told the whole story of what happened to the Cats. The furious beast the dog drew about was him, planning his whole attack on his parents.! So dog was convicted on catslaughter and put in Clown Prison.\


 This is a good example of dark romanticism because it shows how everyone mind has evil in it. This goes against what the trancedentalist believe.
6. I can identify realism by looking for the theme or eveidence of what i have learned. I have also wrot in creative writing with evidence and expository writing to show how i under what realism is in this unit.
