It is reports that they drink liquor and break windows. And they no longer believe in elephants” (Imprints, 106). This is criticizing the government by saying they are untrustworthy, and when lied to by your own powers, you lose faith in control by them. Deceiving is undoubtedly the central topic in this satirical allegory. Ecological welfare is what the theme portrays to be in He-y Come on Ou-t.
We see that Yunior didn’t work for his things, he would just steal them, and when he would buy things the money used was made selling drugs. He was living a dangerous style of life. He tells of the time that him and Beto were caught for stealing. He then tells us that he spends his nights drinking with his friends, at a bar with other washouts. He tells us that he drinks too much, and when the bar starts to get rough he heads home.
The result is a society where fanatical, destructive behavior, such as the firemen's book-burning, flourishes. People in Montag’s society have been conditioned to think the suggestion of reading is a laughable subject as expressed in the quote, “Do you ever read any of the books you burn?’ He laughed. ‘That's against the law!’ ‘Oh. Of course.’” (8). The people in Montag’s society are banned by their government to read anything that has any philosophies or intellectual thought.
In his article Wright looks down upon sororities because of their alcohol consumption, however, this is flawed since he fails to look at student bodies as a whole. He ends his article with a flash to the Reggaefest hosted by Sigma Kappa which is considering “the last big blowout of the year before exams and the farewell of another graduation class.” (557) In his articled Wright wheedles the audience to look down on the drinking behaviors of the intoxicated students at the party. What Wright fails to do is share to the audience that other students outside of the Greek system are partying and drinking for the same reasons as the students in the Greek system are. College students have access to alcohol in some way or another. If students want to have alcohol they will always find some way to get that alcohol.
I tend to have a problem with getting introuble when it comes to money. Since I got drafted high ive had a hard time saying no to family about money. All of a sudden I was the man of my family because I had all the money. I ended up bailing my family out of a lot of things because they would leave it for the last min where it made me feel obligated because I felt bad and was out in that situation. This is where I think polys fal victim sometime to if they make big money and sign those large NFL contracts.
Again sadly people flip on the television; see the reports reporters found of Iraqis begging that we get out that we have only made things worse, they see that our government spends too much money on the war, and that x amount of soldiers died that day. Talk about only hearing one side of the story. Then these people go around and try and argue that one side completely oblivious to all the positive things we have done over there that really outweigh those negatives. Yeah life in Iraq is dangerous right now, but they don’t have a dictator running all over their country anymore. Yeah our government spent a lot of money last month on military expenses, but I say if money buys freedom then that’s money well spent.
Secondly, ‘perfumed’ is rubbish! The ships were renowned for smelling so bad in the hold. This smell was the mixture of blood, excrement, vomit and body odour. The slave traders/crew avoided going under deck at all costs, so to lie and say that the ‘quarters were perfumed’ was awful and hypocritical. Why would the traders/crew go below deck if they hated all those there and only if they had to?
I was busy partying and destroying brain cells so I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it. I remember the day after Reagan was sworn in they were released. Looking back they must have known Reagan wasn’t going to put up with their bullshit and thought that he would get the hostages one way or the other and figured letting them go might be the best thing to do. Reagan had the biggest balls of any President in my lifetime. Other world leaders feared him.
So it is a total loss. Affluent people do not play the lottery. The state is in the business here of selling hopes to people who have none. The city itself is full of bars and liquor stores and lots of ads for cigarettes that feature pictures of black people. Assemble all the worst things in America-gambling, liquor, cigarettes and toxic fumes, sewage, waste disposal, prostitution-put it all together.
I feel awful; I feel like I've disappointed everyone, including myself...Why didn't I try harder, I should have paid more attention to my grades. My Dad would tell me, "I know your smart sweetheart, I know you feel like you've got it nailed, but it wouldn't hurt to do just a little extra credit to pad your average." But noooo! I was too smart for that...You know most kids would have celebrated the grades I got, but not me, it's like I broke some sacred chain!...Well it's finally over, and there's nothing I can do about it, but cry a little tear and get on with life. But you know what's ironic?...As bad as I feel right now, it's like a giant load has been lifted off my shoulders...it's like I'm
