2) combining imaginary animals and real places

When we look at the excerpt, we can see that Carl Sandburg mentions an animal that is not real—an old flongboo.  However, the places he mentions (Massachusetts, Chappaquiddick, South Hadley, and Northampton) are all real places.  You can even take it a bit further and verify the places of a cave and within a chestnut tree as caves and chestnut trees are real.

Cite one quote that highlights class warfare in Animal Farm. Explain what your cited example says about this theme.
Artyom0805 [142]

The quote from animal farm is “four legs good, two legs bad.” This expression, which happens in Chapter III, establishes Snowball’s compression of the Seven Commandments of Animalism, which themselves function as condensations of Old major’s inspiring speech on the need for animal harmony in the face of human domination. The phrase requests one of the novel’s many moments of propagandizing, which Orwell depicts as one instance of how the top class misuses language to govern the minor classes.

What can you infer about the speaker's feelings toward her father? why doesn't she try to intervene in the conflict between her
hodyreva [135]

This poem written by Diane Glancy, reflects her Native American heritage. Her father, a Cherokee man is the main character for the poem. She portrays the conflict between his native american identity and the westernized world in which he lives.  The author implies that despite living disconnected from his traditions and working packing meat, her father remains Cherokee.

The author's feelings towards her father seem to be of love, respect and sadness. I find the poem nostalgic, and there seems to be a sense of being out of place in this world.

The conflict between her parents seems to fit the idea of the poem. Her father brings home hide and horns from work (representing his heritage), and her (western) mother rejects this. The author is just an observer in this poem.

The hide and horns are important, since some native americans relied heavily on the hide, meat and everything else provided by buffalos, which is also a theme in the poem.
