The Simpsons paradox is free to decode the poem as they desire, and they often kept exactly loyal to Poe’s original text creating a different meaning using only visual effects and erratic voices. At the beginning of the segment, Lisa’s voice merges into the voice of James Earl Jones (the Narrator) and the first lines of “The Raven:” are heard. One way The Simpsons used to satirize Poe’s poem was to interpret the original poem in a comically literal method. The Simpsons made fun of the rich, rhythmic language that “The Raven” is known for. The Simpsons pointed out how comical some of Poe’s supposedly deep, gloomy lines are if they were read individually of the rhythm.
The beef noodle that my friend cooked was nowhere near the pho that a lot of Americans can enjoy. It was bun bo Hue which was a very spicy kind noodle that we were also very proud of but cannot introduce much to the world because it had much of shrimp sauce in it. When you put shrimp sauce into the pot of boiling broth, the vaporizing steam brings out the smell of the sauce so strongly and fiercely that when you invite friends for home cooked bun bo Hue, you don’t have to give them the address, just tell them the street name and they will find your house correctly. My foxy friend put a very generous amount of shrimp sauce into his cunning plan and his poor next door neighbor raised up a sign of home for sale in no longer than a few month
Friedrich Engels stated in “The Condition of the Working Class in England”, a variety of characteristics of working class living conditions in England. One characteristic of working class living conditions in England stated by Friedrich Engels was that “they were generally unplanned wilderness of one-or-two storied terrace houses built of brick”. Another characteristic of working class living conditions in England was that “they were filthy and strewn with animal and vegetable refuse. Since they have neither gutters nor drains the refuse accumulates in stagnant, stinking puddles. Ventilation in the slums is inadequate owing to the hopelessly unplanned nature of these areas.” (Doc.
“Working-class women, as much as their more wealthy counterparts, wound these commodities into their own culture based in display, self-statement, and glamour.” (Enstad, 18) Working women purchased cheap fiction known as dime novels. Women would often save up for weeks just to be able to purchase one book. Another common purchase of the working class woman was clothing. Similar to the novels, women would save up by skimping on their lunches to buy a dress from what the middle class called “slop” dress makers. These dresses were cheaper imitations of middle class fashion and would often fall apart, but the women bought them regardless.
They lack morals and are filled with emptiness that resulted from the constant money chase throughout their lives. The new rich are also represented through the ashes. They shower themselves in selfish pleasures and have no care for others in life. These ashes also represent the poor who additionally lack morals as they live in silent agony. Not only do the ashes have a symbolic meaning in the book but also embody the hollowness of people in the world today.

My best educated guess as to how society may feel is that the homeless are categorized into a state of being: dirty, unkempt, ragged, alcoholics able wash themselves, unable to clean their teeth, and that they live on streets; and my opinions are perhaps validated by the comments of others. To further explain, society views homeless people as being unkempt, that their ability to keep themselves groomed and presentable has neglected them. Also we see them living on the street in which many may feel sorry or remorse towards them because many look young and we tend to ask ourselves they should be capable of finding a job. Although in contrast, society does not see or truly understand what it feels like to live a life of poverty or most importantly does not take into consideration the harmful effects it has on the homeless. Poverty attacks your own self-worth or self-esteem and your personal belief system about who you are and questions your value to society.
Short Critical Reflection Paper Cheryl Hope INF103: Computer Literacy (GSE1050E) Instructor: Mortoza Social networks allow people to connect for a variety of reasons in a digital environment.

Discipline and the Cell Phone The smartphone is a modern convenience that is morphing into a member of our society. Although the effects of smartphones are both negative and positive, they are a valuable and useful part of our daily lives. We almost consider them a member of the family. They help us stay in touch with each other, complete homework and work assignments, store and play music, and keep everyone happy during long car trips. However, when the phones are demanding too much time and attention, like the children, they have to go into time-out.
