"She would have it" ("Everyday Mechanics")
King Solomon once decided which woman loved a baby more by almost cutting the child in half. The woman that gave up the child loved the child the most because she would rather the child live than have it die. Who loves the child most in this story? Neither. They (the parents) are so sickeningly selfish that they would rather have one up on the other than protect their "it". What a degrading pronoun to use for the epitome of innocence. IT. Terrible. I hate this story.

You're the UGLIEST!
Any quote will suffice to convey my disgust.
What I originally wanted to post on here was a clip from season 3 Office where Dwight and Andy are having a coughing fight saying the other is an idiot and it's really funny. Why I would be putting it on the blog is because EVERYONE IN THIS STORY ARE IDIOTS. Evan is baffled her life isn't fulfilling while she's living with a guy who isn't her husband and therefore shows a severe lack of respect and honor to her. What did you expect, IDIOT? I don't even want to get started on Zoe, but I must. She has quite a few issues:

I don't even want to get started on Zoe, but I must. She has quite a few issues:
- she has facial hair
- she doesn't respect herself enough to preserve her dignity
- she wears green curdoroy
- she's a flat-out IDIOT to her students
- SHE IS NOT FUNNY
Irony.gov a great place.
"You were his guardian angel." (the Mom, "The Drunkard", pg. 351)
This will be the first and last time, I am fairly confident, that I will ever read about someone saving a family by getting drunk and puking their guts out. I don't know, though! I could be proven wrong! So, the quote I chose shows how ironic the story is. However, it also put the boy's actions into a more redemptive light; until that point, I just thought the kid was hilarious, yelling at old ladies and thinking deep thoughts. The humor in this story comes from the boy's drunkness, while the irony is a product of the drinking. That makes not too much sense on the screen (I almost said "on paper"!!!), but it connects in the little circle I like to call my mind.

"It isn't fair, it isn't right" (Mrs. Hutchinson, The Lottery, pg. 271)
Wow. How depressing. That being said, I think I may have actually made a connection: Mrs. Hutchinson is late because she doesn't see the significance. She has obviously risen above the society's obsession with the lottery because she forgot about it. What is my connection, you may ask? She's like John in Brave New World! Hizaah! I did it! Anywho, I think she's like John because she is the only one who seems to think the lottery isn't the greatest thing ever invented (i.e. Old Man Warner), and people are miffed. Obviously, it was the luck of the draw, but that's beside the fact that she got chosen to be stoned to death. Because she thought something out of the norm, she ended up being killed.
Now, for reading all the way to the end, I have a special suprise! Party in the U.S.A.! Just kidding...

The link thing isn't working right now, sorry to say, so I had to post raw urls! So 2000 and late.
