<span>Well, the most immediate contextual change is the setting itself: from Spain to the United States. Both have diverse terrains, but the connected-ness of the USA (via highways/interstates) would allow for a differently paced story. Additionally, the "resurrection of chivalry" would be replaced with some other revival movement to a "simpler time" and its ethics. To be fair, that notion is already prevalent among many conservatives and anti-progressives. The discourses between new Quixote and Panza would likely be as fire-y as recent Presidential debates, stoked in populist ideals and failed promises from those recent agents of change to society as a whole. Overall, it would be an interesting take on an old classic, and likely prompt serious discussion about our romanticizing of the past.</span>

givi [52]

The goal of a satire is to criticize or ridicule somebody or something (an action, a situation, a behavior). For that reason, it usually features sharp and mordant ideas. In this excerpt from the <em>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em> by Mark Twain, Huck, the main character, is describing one of his encounters with the severe Miss Watson, his guardian's sister. In it, Miss Watson, who wants Huck to accept religion at all cost, is telling him to pray everyday, and, as a reward, he will get what he asks for. However, Huck, tired of not getting it (hooks for his fish-line), harmlessly asks Miss Watson, to her dismay, to do it for him, since, so he believes, she may be luckier and gets what he has asked for in his prayers. Miss Watson's livid reply and Huck's unaffected comment emphasize the mocking nature of the theme in this excerpt.

In line 14 of "The Indian Burying Ground," Freneau mentions "arrows, with a head of bone" that are buried with the deceased. The
inysia [295]

An Indian arrow head or “head of stone”, symbolizes the opposite of a headstone namely, the enduring vitality of the dead person’s spirit unlike the cold, engraved memorial for a dead white man. The indians bury them in a sitting position; they think that the dead are with life, in their own world. The Christians, at contrary, buries their dead in an horizontal possiton, like they were resting for the ethernity. The posture we keep to our dead determines how we look at life after death. Death is not end but it is a release for life is seen as bondage. American Indians believe in life as lasting or existing forever it is an ad infinitum process. Christians don't, we believe in Heaven and Hell, and our actions or sins will determinate our destiny when we die.The Indian concept of life after death is quite different from Christian concept that believes in an annual of earthly activities after death.
