Political Cartoon
This picture the government pointing a weapon at the people. The people are locked by a device on their head. Showing that they are under the control of the government. This picture means that the government is really the ones who are above everyone no matter how equal people are. This relates to Harrison Bergeron because the handicaper general aka the government was in charge and above everyone in the equal world.

The Metamorphosis chapter 3
He terned the main character into a bug to show how some people live life for a purpose and they are just ignored and taken for grantit. For example Gregor was working to pay off his fathers debt. When his father had enough money to pay of his own debt he didn't tell Gregor. I think this is because Gregor's father wanted lots of money. When he was turned into a bug he was mostly ignored by his father.
I think he used a roch instead of a frog because he wanted to show how people were ignored. Just as roches are ignored in real life. Also because a roach is repulsive. He wanted to show how just because someone changes that they are atomaticlly judged. He wasn't tying to make the animal a frog so that it would be something people think is cute.

"The Metamorphosis" Chapter 2
The Samsa family harms their family by mis-understanding eachother. Like the father neglectes Gregor because he believes that the bug simply isn't Gregor. By neglecting Gregor his dad is harming him mentally. Another way they harmed eachother was the mother was trying to accept Gregor but she just couldn't show it like when she fainted. I think Gregor took that to the heart. The Samsa family benefited from each other because they were understanding at one point or another. For example thoughs times they showed an undersanding for Gregor was when the sister tried to help him by feeding him. Even though at the begininng she slamed the door on him. Another example is when the mother didn't think it was the right thing to do when they were moving his furniture out of his room. Even though they didn't leave the funiture.
Five Rules
1. Comunication
2. Love
3. Stick Together
4. Trust
5. Faith in eachother
F, because they broke every rule. They broke the first on because they lacked communication with Gregor simply cause they asumed that he didn't understand him. They broke the second one because they lost all love for Gregor. They broke the third on because once they found out Gregor was a bug the sticking together bond was broken. They broke the forth one beause the mom didn't trust the sister when she told her not to turn around. The whole family didn't have faith in Gregor ever changing back.

"The Metamorphosis" Chapter 1
I think some positive things about being an insect is that I don't have to care for anything in this world. All I have to care about is staying alive and enjoying my self. I could just worry about my self and won't have to deal with anything. I wouldn't have to deal with work. I won't have to deal with school.
I won't have to put up with annoying people. I wouldn't have to follow the rules or law. I would roam free without any boundaries. I could sleep for as long as I want. I would be so happy.

Of Mice and Men pt 4
There were many similar things in the book and movie and there where many different things, but lets start with the similar thing. One thing i noted was that both had a bush Lennie had to go to when he did something bad. Another thing was that Lennie killed Curley's wife and his puppy. A similarity is all the characters said the exact same thing as in the movie as they did in the book. Lennie was also as good of a worker in the movie as he was in the book.
Some of the differences were that in the book it was more of a countryish feel and in the movie it was like a 1920's feel. Another difference is that in the book Lennie makes it to the bush and in the movie he can't find it. Lennie is also killed in a more respectable fashion. By this i mean in the book geroge struggles to pull the trigger hes shaking and tearing up. in the move he tears up a little stands up and blasts Lennies brains out. In conclusion I think the book and movie are similar and different at the same time.

Dear George,
I think your decision to kill Lennie was a good but challenging decision to make. Even though it wasn't a good thing you did when others here about it I think that that was the only way to help Lennie. I know he wasn't dying or nothing but it was better for you to do it instead of Curley. I think this because Curley would have just shot Lennie repeatedly like Curley said "Imma shoot the guts out of this big bastard my self." I think you sent Lennie to a better place and hes now with his aunt and hes probably tending some rabbits.
I also think it was a bad idea because he was like your brother and even though his in a better place now nobody deserves to die that way. I could tell it was hard for you because your hand was shaky when you were trying to steady it. The part I didn't like was that you didn't tell the other guys the truth. The thing that you did that got me was after you did it you stared at your hand like you didn't wanna believe what was going on. overall i think you did the right thing.

Of Mice and Men pt 2
i think Lennie doesn't want to be at the house because of Curley. I think this because Curley hates big people so he gives them hell. A quote to support this is "He hates big guys." This quote is on page 26.The quote "Sometimes Curley's in here," she explained. this quote is on page 30. This shows that she possibly has interests on george and lennie which will cause problems between thm and curley. I think this because Curley already seems like a bad guy and a really unreasonable guy. I think beacuse of this Curley is going to try to get George and Lennie kicked out. I believe that Curley is going to end up hurting George or Lennie.
