Hymn



This song is significant to me because it reminds me of a church event that I went to that changed my relationship with God. It was a church camp in the summer and its title was "Illuminate '08". I really liked the camp and the messages they were giving. Two of the major goals I got from the camp was to "ignite" my relationship with God and be a light to others for God. So when I heard this song, it seemed to fit perfectly with the events that had occurred in my life.

"A Model Proposal" Response

When I first started the reading, I knew that it was going to be a satire. So when he first mentioned about how the people were poor and starving, I thought that seemed pretty normal. Then Swift went on about eating children to solve the problem. I am so glad I knew this was a satire or it would have been pretty scary reading this. I thought that if that ever got legalized, then everything would get extremly messed up. The whole idea of a family only keeping their kids alive to sell or eat later was kind of scary and funny....in a creepy, freaked-out way. The way he proposed it made it seem funny. He wrote making it all seem so serious, but I was thinking that, "Woah, you must be one-hundred percent crazy for thinking that

....and then my time ran out.

Modern Connection

I'm Not Over by Carolina Liar

What a waste of time, the thought crossed my mind

But I never missed a beat
Can’t explain the who or what I was
Trying to believe
What would you do?
What would you do?
Do you know?
I once had a grip on everything
It feels better to let go

I’m not over
I’m not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You’re not that easy to forget
I’m not over

Never took the chance, could’ve jump the fence
I was scared of my own two feet
Couldn’t cross the line, it was black and white
No contrast to be seen
What would you do?
What would you do?
Do you know?
Was it all a joke, never had control
I’m not better on my own

I’m not over
I’m not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You’re not that easy to forget
I’m not over

What a waste of time
The thought crossed my mind
Can’t explain this thing, or what I mean
I’m trying to let go

I’m not over
I’m not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You’re not that easy to forget
I’m not over
I’m not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You’re not that easy to forget
I’m not over
I’m not over

I think these lyrics give a similar feel to Steele's "No. 1 Tuesday, April 12, 1709" (Horton 396). The story that Steele made was about a man that saw a lady that whom he became infatuated with. The man can not get the woman out of his head and he tries long and hard to find her. I think this song resembles how the man could not get over the woman he saw. The song repeatedly says, "I'm not over you just yet. Cannot hide it you're not that easy to forget." This is like how the man in the story could not get the lady out of his head.

Dryden's Satire

1. According to the first paragraph of "Of Satire," what is the purpose of satire? Dryden's claims that satire is used to chastise and condemn wicked men. It is also used to steer those wicked men away from committing worse crimes and actions.

2. What does Dryden say in the second paragraph is the type of satire he admires most, and to what does he attribute one's ability to use this type of satire successfully? He admires fine raillery. He says that it takes a great amount of skill to make a man appear to be incompetent and foolish without resorting to the use of slanderous names and titles. Dryden makes it seem like its an art to be able to use fine raillery effectively.

3. What words does he use to show his disapproval of harsher forms of satire? He uses the word "easy" to make it seem like using harsh and obvious forms of satire requires no skill. Other words like "grossness" and "slovenly" also gives the reader the idea that using harsher satire takes no skill. Those two words also show how a little amount of thought is used and applied to harsh satire. By using the word, "opprobrious", Dryden makes harsher satire something the write should be ashamed of using. Calling someone outright stupid is not classy.
