The Wife of Bath's Prologue and The Goodman of Paris's letter have two very different ideas of what a marriage should be like. The elderly Parisian merchant told his wife that she has to be obedient and humble but can not be arrogant towards him, that she has to get permission to do anything. While The Wife of Bath, thinks that you should be able to marry as many time as you like and do whatever you like. If they would never be able to even think of being a couple, she is so headstrong and free, and he is too controlling and boring. __Do you agree/disagree with the argument that e-cigs will lead to addictive use of regular cigarettes?__ I agree that use of e-cigs will lead to addictive use of regular cigarettes because the person will get used to and in the habit of putting something to their mouth, sucking in an inhalant and then blowing the smoke out. __Should e-cigs be regulated by the FDA in the same way that regular cigarettes are.__ Yes, because you can buy them off the web and it doesn't ask for your age.But when you go buy cigarettes at a store they ask for your ID. __If it remains that the FDA does not regulate e-cigs, predict what effect it will have on our teens in 5-10 years.__ I think that if the FDA does not regulate e-cigs, the future teens will be more willing to smoke them because it is the "cool" to have one and smoke them. In 10th grade, one of my classmates had one and that was the first time i saw one but after that,i saw more and more people with them who are not 18. I think the they will get even more popular because it is better for the smoker to smoke an e-cig than a cigarette. They also come in different flavors, so it would appeal to younger kids, getting them addicted easier. __What came first the chicken or the egg?__ I personally think that the egg came first because the egg could of been a mutation of another type of bird. And it happens to be that that mutation made that bird better and all the other birds who didn't have that mutation died off. __The Disney parks are environmentally wasteful, and should be abandoned in order to prevent the waste of finite resources.__ I think that if Disney was closed down that would put a lot of people out of a job but the disney parks do use a lot of resources, especially toilet paper and paper towels. They also use a lot of electricity, which causes light pollution. Over the summer i went to an environmental camp and we went to a planetarium to look at the effects of light pollution and one of places that you could see from outer space with the amount of lights on was Disney World. Maybe the Disney parks could find a way to cut down on the amount of resources they use.

__Compare "A Modest Proposal" to the Flying Spaghetti Monster Letter- how do the two of them use exaggeration, incongruity, irony, and parody in the text?__ Both articles show exaggeration the most. "A Modest Proposal" shows exaggeration by suggesting a crazy idea of killing off the babies and eating them. While the Flying Spaghetti Monster Letter shows exaggeration by suggesting how the earth was created by a monster and that monster is always around. __What point are each of them trying to make? Do you think that they were successful? Why or why not?__ I think that "A Modest Proposal" is trying to tell people to stop complaining about being hungry and begging for money, when they can find a solution to their problem. I do not think that the idea was successful because people would object to eating their family members and little babies. I think that the Flying Spaghetti Monster Letter is trying to tell the state of Kansas that if they include different theories, that they have to include them all. I do not think that he was successful because the school board saw the letter as a joke instead of a serious letter. __Some think that these works cross a line- should any targets be "off limits" for satritists? Are there any jokes that just aren't funny, or is everything fair game?__ I do not think that there should be a limit to satritists, over time people are forgetting how to laugh at each other because everything now has to be "PC"(Political Correct). I do not think that a joke should be off limits, if the joke does not go too far (i.e. people commiting suicide)
