During the time when the chicken was getting cared for, something unexpected happened, “The CHICKEN! He laid an egg, what, it’s a golden egg!” said Pepe. “Oh my gosh!” said the Farmer and family. After it happened, the family was extremely confused how the chicken could have laid the egg. But, the farmer didn’t like the situation because he wanted to keep the chicken safe. He said, “Ok guys you have to keep this as a secret because if we tell the world that there is a chicken that lays a golden egg, the chicken will be in danger! Also, Pepe don’t go the village because the chicken only follows you.”
A few days later, when Pepe was lonely he decided to go to a festival because he hadn’t gone to the village in a while. In the street of the village, a festival begun. Everyone was drinking and some people were doing a contest. The almighty king was also there, and everyone in the village was respecting that he was there. Now, the funniest contest begun and contestants made all sorts of jokes and stuff. But, Pepe was really funny so, he went to the finals. He said, “Hello, Mr. Smiley Face You are going to get owned by a
I think what I found to be most interesting about the book was how the United States has dominated cotton production for so long. I am always interested in how rich people make money. It seems as if many people are wealthy because of cotton production. I just find how resourceful cotton growers have been historically to be very fascinating. I find it very interesting how cotton farmers have been able to make a profit at every turn and how they have turned even what at one time waste and byproduct into profit. Perhaps, their greatest achievement was to learn to even harvest the wind that at one point would destroy cotton farms into a source of profit.
In The Natural History of the Chicken by Mark Lewis, he shows that chickens are in many ways anthropomorphic. Lewis uses interviews, re-enactments, and sound to help convey his message. Lewis uses re-enactments of the chicken owner's stories and Lewis throws in sound and some interviews to help sway his audience to the idea that chickens do have personalities and different traits just like humans. We see this when talking about the chicken Cotton and the story about the chicken Lisla. The rhetorical choices Lewis uses when putting these stories into his film greatly help contribute to the enjoyment of the film and help prove his claim.
Years later, Milkman and his friend, Guitar, are amazed by the mysterious, even mystical appearance of a peacock over the building of the used car lot where they stand. As the bird descends, Milkman mistakes it for a female, but Guitar corrects him: "He. That's a he. The male is the only one got that tail full of jewelry. Son of a bitch." Milkman, in all his innocent conviction of male superiority, asks why the peacock can fly no better than a chicken, and Guitar, who wants to catch and eat the bird, answers, "Too much tail. All that jewelry weighs it down. Like vanity. Can't nobody fly with all that shit. Wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down" (179-80).
As a parrot our narrator is forced to come to terms with the fact that no matter how hard he tries to communicate with his wife or other people, it will prove useless and even if the context fit's the conversation, they'd think of it as an humorous coincidence. As our narrator hangs onto and tries to repeat every word to his "wife" says he demonstrates his frustration of being unable to communicate and his yearning for her to realize it is him. Butler also keeps this story very comedic with the fact that he is a bird with a grown man's education and allows him to still think and have emotions similar to a human. Our narrator's wittiness and male pride are still evident in his words no matter how subtle they are. For example, "up, cracker, peanut, open" and even changing the context from "pretty bird to bad bird".

Aiko Yamashiro is a poet, English major, and the author of “Values of Hawai’i 2: Ancestral Roots, Oceanic Views” which she published on May 10th, 2017. She compiled stories relating to the values of Hawaii, including the poem “I am a Farmer” by U’ilani Hideko Kalawe O Kou Ola Ana Kokaua Pulama Arasato. Arasato writes “I am a farmer” in the first-person perspective; “You should stop and listen, the ‘aina is trying to speak.” Reinforces that Arasato is explaining a situation to everyone about the lands of Hawaii. Arasato’s purpose in “I am a Farmer” is to illustrate events that influenced Hawai’i land. From ancient Hawaiian times, during the time the Ali’i ruled, to modern day Hawaii, the land in which generations were promised, slowly disappeared as hungry real estate people bought it up. Infuriating, feeling betrayed, and being voided of their land brings darkness to the farmers and the reason why Arasato creates this poem to explain the history of farmers suffering. I agree with Arasato’s claim that the farming land was wrongfully taken and deserves to be given back to those who rightfully own them because Hawaii is a place of fertility and where farmers thrive to grow food for its people. It’s been a heritage for generations and if people take care of the land, the land will surely provide back. Therefore, the poem “I am a Farmer” explains the history of farming in Hawaii by relating to the past, explaining the challenges faced, and what the future of farming can be if the
