Prompt:

Topic 1: In Anthem, Chapter 2, author Ayn Rand writes from the narrator’s perspective:

It is forbidden, not to be happy. For, as it has been explained to us, men are free and the earth belongs to them; and all things on earth belong to all men; and the will of all men together is good for all; and so all men must be happy.

Topic 2: In “The Monkey’s Paw,” Part 2, author W. W. Jacobs describes the old man’s hesitation with using the monkey’s paw to bring back their dead son:

“WISH!” she cried in a strong voice.

“It is foolish and wicked,” he faltered.

“WISH!” repeated the wife.

He raised his hand. “I wish my son alive again.”

The talisman fell to the floor, and he regarded it fearfully. Then he sank trembling into a chair as the old woman, with burning eyes, walked to the window and raised the blind.

Quotes from the Text: What text did you mark?Annotations: What notes did you write about the meaning, voice, or mood?

and boring. The grass grew obedientlyThe narrator thinks her new home is dull. Using the word boring and expressing a negative attitude about obedience makes her seem young, maybe a teenager.

each green blade standing upright

like a tiny soldier.The narrator feels that there is too much order, maybe showing that she is restricted too.

At first what I missed most

were los girasoles,

my tall, unruly friends

with their bright yellow petals

and dark brown facesThe word missed makes me think that the narrator wants to go back to her old home. The bright colors of her friends and her memories of them are different from the dull situation she is experiencing now.
