1. I chose William Godwin.

1. He is the father of Mary Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein.


2. Was married to a pioneering feminist, and writer- but she died six months after their wedding.
3. During the French Revolution, he started with his works on political science.
4. Was the originator of the idea of being earthly immortal after death. Now known as Physical Immortality.
5. He liked to write about politics from an Anarchist view, supporting the thought of self-governing societies.

2. I picked book 2: An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, and its Influence on General Virtue and Happiness.
Knowing now that he writes from an Anarchist point of view, it makes sense to me that he wants to break down the
system, and remake it into something that gives people and society the power, instead of the government holding all
the wealth and power. He speaks about how destructive war is, and speaks on his view of humanity, which he almost
makes us sound pitiful and lost.

3. I read Chapters 1 & 2 of Vindication of the Rights of Woman.


In Chapter 1, I think being dubbed a feminist piece, is kind of insulting to feminism in our current day and age.
Because she comes from a religious view. She was speaking of how men and women are equal in the eyes of God,
where we know are trying to fight for women to be equal to men in politics, in the home, on the streets, etc. We
arent seeing this from religion, and do not want it to become religious. But she also speaking for all sexes, as one.
Almost seeing it from an androgynous view. Not fighting for one sex or the other, but all, together.
She also writes about how sensitive women can be, in Chapter 2. And I quote, blown about by every momentary gust
of feeling" about women. Basically saying we can get into a tiff over just about anything, in the drop of the hat. Which
I find extremely offensive. I hate that she (at the time) negated what we do get upset over, and how when a woman
speaks up against something, she is being emotional. I cannot back that, nor do I like that a woman said that about
women.

4. 13, 1977, 21
Tone: Upbeat, excited.
Mood: Happy.
Characterization: Talks about how it started as a fun movie when he was a kid, and as he grew, the more obsessed
and in love he became with Star Wars. (I love Star Wars too, having tattood Darth Vaders Lightsaber on my left
pointer finger. Nerds. AmIright? Haha.)
Symbolism: I honestly do not know what symbolism I could find in this memoir.
Irony: None, other than instead of being obsessed as a kid, he grows with it becoming bigger and bigger to him.
Setting: 1977- NYC, NY.
Style: Memoir.
Visual design: Movie Theatres, hanging out with Grandma, comfortable and fun.

5. Savage Inequalities.
1. Logos: You abruptly get pulled into how under funded schools (poor neighborhoods) vs. highly funded schools
(richer neighborhoods) is unfair, and how all should get the same education, whether or not they have
money.
2. Pathos: This gets you to see it from the student, and teachers point of view. Teachers do not get paid
enough to do what they do, students suffer because of that, and also because of the lack of funds for their
education and future.
3. Ethos: Quoting sources, and putting big names in the Universities, he called our attention to be held
accountable.
