Literature Analysis 6
Buried Onions by Gary Soto
1. Eddie, who is the main character and protagonist of the book, is a mexican man who lives in Fresno. He is about 19 years old and has admitted he has done nothing in his life. He had dropped out of school and has joined gangs and lives in a bad part of town. He lives with his mom. his father and best friend had died in the story. After finding a job painting curbs, he knew he had to do something better in life. He joined the navy. Eddie sees the Navy as his way to get out of Fresno and get away from the "buried onions".
2. One of the main themes of "buried Onions" is you can't escape your past. One must learn to accept it as part of who they are and then move toward the future.
3. The tone is different at times. It can be depressing at times, when he was ing gang fights and he was talking about he had accomplished nothing in life, and at times it could be happy, when he joined the navy to start his life over.

3/21 lecture
1. After we discussed these conecpets in class, i have learned many other concepts. I learned that your parents hold your hand through everything as a child and if you allow them to do the same when you are 18, you will become helpless.
2. The first paragraph relates mostly to the Ap test. If you dont review what we have leanred in class, you will do poorly on the test. But, this testing does not prove a thing because not everyone is built for testing. This is not genetics it is just that not everyone can sit down and concentrate for an entire test period.
3. I think that we can use the things we learned today in class in our partner work. I learned that if two minds work together, more work can get done.

3/20 Notes
The internet allows-Globalization, localization and delocalization
Gives us a chance to listen, talk, and understand each others’ religion, concepts, and views of world.
How do you perceive the world around you?
-strange/unfamiliar or close relationship?
What form of resistance is effective?
Every effort to change world starts with people asking questions.
How can we all sit together and discuss? There needs to be a big meeting to discuss these issues .
With a large debate, together we can find solutions.
This “100 Questions” Event is a time coming for multiple viewpoints and ways to express your opinions. This is a modern form of communication.
Even though we are different, we all have the same problems
Together as one we are here to celebrate diversity and multiple viewpoints
Intentions: present voices that aren’t usually magnified in the media.

Literature analysis 5
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Two men by the name of George (small and has sharp features) and Lennie (big and tall and mentally ill) are migrant workers who are on the road to find work. Their main dream is to one day own a ranch of their own. They were previously booted from their last job because Lennie was accued of rape. The two men find work and report to the ranch. George decides to do all the talking with the boss because the fear that the boss will not accept Lennie for his mental problems. They get the job. They meet a couple of other workers. Candy, who is very old and has a very old dog as well, Curley, the bosses angry son, and Curley's wife who starts to flirt with the two men. At first the two men fit in, but are awaken with a serious problem. Lennie, who loves to pet soft things, was accidently pulling Curley's wife's hair to hard and killed her. The men were forced to flee the ranch once again.
One of the main themes of "Of Mice and Men" is The predatory Nature of Human Existence. Almost all of the characters experienced profound sense of loneliness and isolation.
The tone of "Of Mice and Men" is Sentimental and tragic. Their dream was to one day own their own and ranch, but the dream was broken after they were forced to leave another job because of Lennie's actions.
Of Mice and Men contains symbolism, imagery and allegory. The setting is an example of symbolism. The story begins with the two men by the river, it ends with them by the river. This basically means that they have gotten nowhere with their lives. Also rabbits are a symbol of peace and life for Lennie, while mice symbolize death. All of the characters at different times of the story represent broader populations.
