shared by Tony Durso on 03 May 09 - Snapshot

Yan, the lawyer who was attacked in the conference room, agrees: Maybe they will break your bones, put you in prison or even kill you, but someone has to take on that duty, he says, and I'm willing to do it.
- Tony Durso on 03 May 09
  
  This is an incredible statement. In the separation between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, we have talked about loyalty vs law as defining of the different eras. Here is a lawyer in a modern country, yes a nation-state, fighting for a change that started 600 years ago.

- Simone FA on 30 Apr 09
  
  this is a great extended similie- it really makes you understand the "breakage" because you're thinking about the comparison to the poem.
  I think it's interesting when the writers of some poems actually use a poem as one of their comparisons

  I absolutely loved the ending of this poem, as liz said, the poem really does come together and the meaning is now very clear. I also believe that this moral is a very valuable one- to understand that when you have a passion for something, you should put your whole heart into it, no matter what, and even when it fails.

  Actually, he capitalized a few words. He capitalized proper nouns and words at the beginning of sentences. I think it just seems like he doesn't capitalize that much because he has a lot of really long sentences.

mystery of the human heart

  "Mystery of the human heart."
  
  Hmm, what does this mean?? I feel like this line is really powerful, but I'm not quite sure what the author is referring to. If someone could help me understand this, i might have a better sense of the poem.

  I think it means that people are a mystery? It's hard to explain. Maybe it's saying no one can really understand why someone would work and work and work at something so hard, but people do, just because it's their passion. And it's a mystery. If that makes sense. I can figure it out, but it's hard to put into words:)

  This sentence really threw off the poem for me. It is a run-on sentence, and it really messed up the rhythm. Furthermore, the sentence is half the poem, which shows to me it is a little lacking.

  I found that the last line was a little dumb. Risking everything for just some enjoyment isn't smart. If you risk everything, then you won't have any chances to enjoy other happinesses. One happiness is not as valuable as many smaller happiness you can have through your life.

How do people become infected?

People usually get swine influenza from infected pigs, however, some human cases lack contact history with pigs or environments where pigs have been located. Human-to-human transmission has occurred in some instances but was limited to close contacts and closed groups of people.
- Tyler FA on 28 Apr 09
  
  This shows instability becuase you could go anywhere and get this disease and if the government quarintined pigs because of the spreading then we will lose a source of food and might runout.

Is there a human vaccine to protect from swine influenza?

There are no vaccines that contain the current swine influenza virus causing illness in humans. It is not known whether current human seasonal influenza vaccines can provide any protection. Influenza viruses change very quickly. It is important to develop a vaccine against the currently circulating virus strain for it to provide maximum protection to the vaccinated people. This is why WHO needs access to as many viruses as possible in order to select the most appropriate candidate vaccine virus.
- Tyler FA on 28 Apr 09
  
  This shows instability because if the regular flu vaccince doesn't work it will spread faster and faster through human populations and the disease will mutate to where there is no vaccine.

And it's June because that's when school gets out and the kids are pretending there isn't any school like during June.

  Jon, it's funny that you say this. I imagined the poem literally, as a story of someone actually trying to fix woodchuck problems (with more poetic connotations connected to the violence). I looks as if you read the whole poem poetically

carrots.

  When i read this i kept wondering why they used this sentence. I feel like the author are referencing to the woodchucks as the Jews. I wonder what the author meant when he mention how they kept eating all is crops, what this refers to in the WW2 situation. Is it that the Jews were annoying???

a lapsed pacifist fallen from grace
- Mary Gray FA on 24 Apr 09
  
  I really like how this begins the transition. She goes from trying to fix a fairly common problem to getting more and more caught up in the violence in killing. This begins her change in character, and movement toward being wrapped up in the violence.

  this person is becoming more violent it seems because this has taken over tham. it has become a part of them because they can kill without will until she relizes what she has done at the end of the poem.

  This line: 0 one-two-three the murderer inside me rose up hard: makes me think of a monster within. The poem makes me feel like this person is a normal person, but has a side that takes over and can't be controlled.

gassed underground the quiet Nazi way.
- Natalie Ducharme-Barth on 24 Apr 09
  
  This is a good comparison, but it's harrowing to think about how easy we can compare the death of nazi's to killing groundhogs. How easy it is for a pacifist to kill and become a murderer. How easy it was for boys to go out and kill strangers made their enemies be circumstance.

  I know- It is very interesting. I have to admit I was very confused, basically until this line. I feel like I knew how the poem was going to turn out, but I don't think I would have ever thought that she would compare Nazi's dying to groundhogs being killed.

  I think it's talking about how everyone can ignore death and pain if it's not personal and people won't care, but if it's close and real it can haunt a person.

  I get it though, like if only the woodchucks would fall into my trap, and die without me getting in trouble or without the woodchuck knowing, which is pretty much what the Nazi's did.

I agree. I don't understand why he is complaining and the woodchucks are a metaphor for WWII.
